Cheery popped who needs a rear fog light, unless it's MOT time heheI'll be putting that into my bumper this month anyhow.

Looking forward to the meet at the town house, perhaps our chairman can explain how he nearly went sideways down the hill hehe.#

cool..I'm after a more permanent install though really. Did you use it with memory map.?

[Calos]

I don't mind chipping in and getting one of those from work, that and a usb cable would get it onto the roof rack.
Well worth a run to my mind.

(still haven't cleaned the truck yet)

Yup used with memory Map without any issues and works well just plugged in to the PC no need for a permanent install.

Have tried it out on a few runs now, including a couple of runs round the plains and not had a problem with connectivity

[an1mal_69]

Hows Sun eve sound for a few local lanes..??

Well in the end an1mal_69 and I hit the hills, what a cracking lane, first section was run of the mill but then turned into a very steep climb with a lot of rock very like the wayfairer? I was cackin' me pants at some of it I can tell yah, but my truck sailed up totally gobb-smacked at how well it did.

At the top was a mile or three of deep rutts with the off-side way over-grown with heather and gorse was a constant screech scratch some dips and muddy parts and a few gates, but still a great run, toward the end it wound down to an easy 2wd ride for a few mile over slate-ish chipping road through a forrest, right at the end though a big dipper downward and back onto tarmac.

And wouldn't you know it, neither of us brought a camera along

Dammed shame as there where some great bits out there today.

Cheers again Nik!

Can't wait to get out again.

Aye shame you couldn't make it, would have been more fun all round.

Well Nik could give you the actual route we took on mem-map, glad you've got your diff sorted, but is it time to stop fixing the LR and get another Jap motor,,

Come away from the green oval of constant repairs, come over the light of the rising sun, come to the light ! lol

Speak soon mate

Ah mate the second I get a sniff of one you'll be the first to know.

Messing with memory map atm, need better maps though. Nik do you have a file of the route we took ?
