awesome warren, but a little hint from skiddy, start trying to remind yourself when off road that thumbs stay outside the steering wheel so they don't get broken :wink:

Haha yeah I know I had to keep telling myself that, had a few close calls when the wheel got ripped out of my hands :x

On another note, looking round my truck when I was cleaning it I found Ive managed to break my LF coil spring.. :o Broke the 2nd from top coil. Looks like it had a small crack in it for a while

HAHAHA!

I was very proud of myself thank you, first time i've ever dented a vehicle! :D

Brilliant day guys... although defining the trip as shiny might get yuppie-mobiles broken (is that a bad thing?)

Thanks for pointing that out Taz.... Side bars are currently being added... by you, woo hoo!

Yeah, but probably important to know that it was an ORE-shiney trip, is a bit different to other clubs shineys :P

Wait till ha take the next step up, then ya really will have something to be proud of :wink:
