  1. Danny K was professing his love for Hannah Shucksmith and we were all raping him in the angry thread.
  2. I can't ride trials. Never got the hang of Kick Hops, just didn't have the balance.
  3. Here go's, gayety and idiocy added for extra hilarity. "Land Rover...For Men! It was the summer of 71', and the new Series 3 Land Rover was making headlines the world over. With it's rugged body and tough build, it was the first choice for MEN. Being an outward looking homo it was my first choice of vehicle for picking up the guys, so I got myself down to the Land Rover dealers to buy one. I walked through the open doors, wearing my best trench coat and hipster shades my mustache trimmed to perfection, to my amazement I was met by a lady ! "A lady, in a land rover dealership ? Ohhh noooo" I said to myself, so I went to the parts counter to avoid the evil woman and her money stealing conformist ways. I approached the parts counter to be pleasantly greeted by a small northern monkey, "Ohh aye' ther chap, lookin' for some bits to keep yar series 2 on the road ?" "No, I'm looking to purchase one of your newer models." I told the partsman. "Ohhhh arghhh, you be wanting the sales desk then...." Expressed the parts man, pointing towards a wooden desk on the other side of the showroom. So I made my way gingerly across the floor, taking in the sights and smells of the new models, I encountered one series 2A with a diff leak in the middle of the showroom. Which ruined the socks I was wearing underneath my toeless sandals, but as a rugged manly man I had to let these things fly. I approached a short, sprightly man and asked him to show me the model range which it did with knowledge and pleasure, instructing me to purchase a 109 which would suit my needs. I arranged a test drive and returned the next day to try the beast. I returned at 11AM sharp on the following day with my “tennis partner” Derick to test the vehicle and without further ado I began the trials. The vehicle started first turn with the aid of the salesman’s firm hands and ran sweeter than a nut, fitted a four speed gearbox, syncromesh in second and a hydraulic clutch this was a vehicle for the working man. The power of the lump was immense, forcing me forwards along the dirt tracks, after a quick test of his staying power I backed out of the dark track and assessed the exterior features of the vehicle. Caressing the interior knobs and switches I checked it for life, ensuring the working of the vehicle. All the time Dereck and the salesman stayed inside. I had decided, it had passed the initiation and we could form a relationship, of man….and machine. I expressed my desire to own such a vehicle to the salesmen and we returned to the garage forecourt, we agreed on the priestly sum of £2250 for the vehicle and exchanged hand shakes, sealing the deal with spit. I signed the log book and was offered a cup of hot joe, but I didn’t have time to spare. There were men out there who needed my help…. Now to get a reply from Basingstoke Council and a photo of my spastic parents.....
  4. Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are! We are lions! Do you know what's there, waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!
  5. You can say what you want to me, it doesn't matter. It's "the internet", it's not like I know you ?
  6. "All of your threads" - HA FAIL !!!
  7. Cheers, I've never been described as encyclopedic before.....It's an honor !
  8. Oooohhh yeah ! I'd love a 110R !
  9. You don't need to have lots of money to do it, you just need to be careful and plan where you go. I've done 4 events and not broken anything by being cautious and not being silly. Where as Nigel managed to do both diffs and a steering arm on Sunday trying to get up one hill..... Poor kids are dirty because they work hard for there money, rich kids are clean because they have no back bone. I'd rather be a honest hard working poor kid than a pompus rich one !
  10. Work in a bike shop from 8 till half 6 for 5 days a week at about £6 an hour. I don't spend my money on anything else mind you ! My last car (Saab 900 Turbo) was £3800 a year, worked out about £90 a week !
  11. I said - I was trying to make a funny on the more boring +1
  12. haha, well I'm 17 with no NCB just a pass plus and an IAM. It's costing my £2900 TFPT but including remote breakdown and recovery unlimited windscreen cover and legal cover, so basically if I break it laning I can get recovered from anywhere another truck can get to. I'm not really "hiring" the Disco as such, it's a good mate of mine who has the workshop next to my dads. I was out in it last weekend and he's going to the event at the weekend, so it's a case of go along with him and take whatevers left. He's a bloody nutter (a nice bloody nutter though!) and is the sort of person who smashes up cars for fun anyway. So what happens with the off roaders from now in is a bonus, because he's had his fun out of it. He goes off almost twice a week to pay and play events and stuff and has got a couple of disco's, a few modified ones and a few bobtailed range rovers so he's not exactly short of motors to use ! I guess it's just a perk of being "one of the boys" But if anything does go wrong then I've got to sort him out for it, and it gets expensive doing all this off roading, last weekend between the 5 of our trucks we did 9 lights 7 diffs 3 steering arms and a PAS pump. Which is about £1200 worth of damage, luckily I didn't break anything but if I did i'd have been in the shit money wise. Nigel wouldn't have minded the fact i'd broken something, just he fact I can't afford to pay for it ! (not that he knows that ) Theres a few in the best lanes guidebook in this months LROI magazine I think.
  13. +asuitablenumericaldigit to TF failing.
  14. Nope, not at all. Thats what external cages are for ! And I'm paying him enough to use it at events for him to not worry about it, but I can't afford that expense every time I want to compete so I'm going to build myself one And yeah, go get one ! As soon as you do you'll think "Why didn't I do this before!!!" A 3.9EFI Discovery like mine is only insurance group 11 !
  15. Cheers dude Heres what I'm aiming for - The nice thing about 90's is you get the money you put in back, I was just chatting with Matt on MSN and 90's are so ridiculously priced for what they are. But with a bit of a slap with the off road stick they make silly money. I'm off to Muddy Bottom 4x4 on Sunday in the Bobtail again, for a bit of this ! - Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  16. Matt's kinda got it... The new project had a 1990 Discovery engine and chassis, a 1994 90 roof, a 1992 90 bulkhead a 1993 truck bed and bonnet and etc etc etc It's made up of bits and has some how still got the 1958 number plate attached to the 1990 Discovery Chassis from a previous ring'. Needs to be sorted seeing as I'm going to be driving it, I've got the original log book for the Chassis thats on it so I'll be able to just ring it back to stock haha.
  17. Yeah ! I've got a Corsa if your into it ? Years MOT and a few months tax, about £500 ?
  18. As in true No Rice fashion ? We could all turn up in white civics with carbon bonnets (and no oil) ?
