Going about 30 miles per hour the next thing I see is the hedge coming through my passenger window. My Cruiser is doing a broad side to disaster. How the Hilux missed me only GOD will know, but he went straight on into the hedge missing opening my Cruiser like an fruit can and that was only just. I’m shaking. Is this the way to start your first off road experience ever? I think not.
So I pleaded Les (Ecky Thump) to take me and my spotless Cruiser laning with the BIG boys. In his defence he did ask me three time or was that four time if I’m feeling ok in my head and want to go and get her (Sundance my Cruiser) scratched and banged to bits.
We get to the start of the lane and I’m shaking like a leaf in the wind (after my meeting with the hedge - unplanned). I’m ready to call it a day before I’ve even taken Sundance (My new Cruiser if you don’t know by now) off road. I had to ask - do I use this low range lever now - (only new guys ask that question). Sundance almost snapped my neck as I pulled away into this new experience up the north down. I have never experienced being in low rage before with all that power at your beck and call. We got to the top of the North Downs (don’t ask me how) with no problem at all. And she (Sundance) is not looking so shine and new anymore. The wife is going to kill (slaughter) me. I did promise her that I would at no stage damage or abuse the new love of our lives.
Needles to say I was the slowest and probably the guy most irritating to the old boy. I want to thank all the guys for gave me fantastic support and advice after every lane. Thanks you guys are the best!!! And I’m still alive.
Some photos. I’m going to apologize upfront for the poor quality as I have never taken photos on lanes before.
Some BIG BOYS. Sundance is hiding (My Cruiser)
Sundance
The Boys. (Thanks Again for a great day)
Sundance and the boys
The guys love Sundance. Look at them pointing at her.
Cruisers still looking very clean.
O my ***. What have I gone and done to you my very new Cruiser. Sorry Sundance.
The guy's having break waiting for me to arrive. Sorry I was the slow one in the group.
This Land Rover was fantastic.
Coffee helps with the nerves ant least for me.
Les showing me how it’s done. Lots of power.
What have I done to my Cruiser.
Tommo's Cruiser is looking happy
What can I say.
Thanks again for a great day out. Next time the plain?
