Salisbury Plain

[Wolfracer]

most definitely not going through the deep bits...
as said MIGHT, then again MIGHT NOT...

Fixed that for ya...

Okay reality check 2.4'ers

How many of you went through the 2nd of those mud baths at the bottom of the hill where the Landys and Bikers were playing?

You know, the one Bio avoided?

I know the answer, I just want to hear it from you load of pansies....



Being up to the top of the bonnet in Salisbury mud was probably a little too adventurous for my alternator though....

OOOOHHHHHH fighting talk
tell me again how was the coffee yesterday while you waited at Chiseldon

Been there and got stuck and had to get pulled out .......

Seriously though hope your alternator dries out,it was nice to be able to put some faces to names.

[Wolfracer]

How did you manage to kill another alternator?

My boy said, "Go on dad, FASTER....."
Now, I couldn't disappoint the lad could I?

Bugger! I missed this trip - If anyone is organising another trip at some point I'd be up for it

think there'll be another when Bio's 1st gen is back on the road...

Dunno, couldn't even leave the truck as the windows wouldn't wind up. we drove from the plains to chiseldon with both front windows and the rear window all the way open. No blower on...

[muddle]

only reason i didnt do that one is yours lifted with 33s ground out, not for me,
and i drove home..... all the way

spray the alt full of wd40 and leave and see if it helps.

To be fair though, you could have walked home if it came to it!

Will get some more WD tomorrow and give it a go...

Luckily the recovery driver was (very) ex army and had trained on the plains, so we had a good chat about stuff... made the journey quite interesting.

Now you are making me feel guilty,in hindsight you could have stopped at mine and at least had a cup of tea and warmed up while you waited.

"in hindsight..." a lot of things could have been different!
We had fun, thats the main thing.

I wanted to get as far as i could under my own steam, as i didn't know when the end would come.

For future reference, readers, if the truck starts to rev up without any forward motion (almost like clutch slip) or won't change gear (auto)/let you engage drive without pressing the red button, you've probably only got max 30 minutes driving time left. The ecu will kill the engine when the last of the battery juice has gone.
Remember, no matter what you turn off, you can't stop the brake lights from working!

Am I right in thinking the fuel system has some electrics in it? mine died while it was half sank in some super sinky (not stinky) mud. Wasn't do anything other than idling.


And that second water bit you went through after the LRs and bikes were on the side, I so nearly followed you but dad said he didn't think getting stuck would be too clever and I didn't want my gearbox to get worse. (little did I know lol)

[muddle]

would ge a good day for the plains today. we will have to arrange another meet. what do you guys think about monthly meets?

[BioHazard]

need to sort the beast out before next time ..... I want to teach you lot the routes so i don't have to organise it all the time

[Eddleston]

I need to get something which charges my phone while I'm driving so I can track the route. Then when I get a few together I can make something up to link the best bits.

I'll be able to go again after the 22nd of May, exams are over then!
