last time I got dragged out by my driver to practice, he set up this nasty hazard which we rolled off 10 times before calling it a day.

Oh and we only called it a day when we nailed the hazard.

Go hard boys, and we'll see ya in welly on the 13th of october.

Umm maybe make it, dunno, maybe I can borrow the Polica Car from Tu :wink:

Or I go round the South Coast with Shell

Or I actually clean my Cruiser and repair shit on it (by that I mean take it to Marty's to fix)

Or I do jack shit (most likely :wink: )

Just trying a downhill sidling and it got up on two wheels, nither locker was in so no way of powering out of it and it tipped over. Did it a few times after without trouble.

The hyudraulic pump for the rear steer started pissing out all the fluid from the seal where the pully shaft goes in so stuck it on the trailer and headed home.

Will prob head out there on sunday for another go. :D

Doesnt D-Class have fiddles ? you could have just braked the wheels in the air, thus giving power to the wheels on the downward side :wink: Much easier in theory though than when it happens.... otherwise yeah have fun giving it another go on sunday 8) can we get some footage this time :D

Yeah could have, its got front fiddles, four wheel steer and lockers. The lever for the right wheel which was in the air isnt easily accessable to me so the driver usually grabs that one. I control the lockers and the front left fiddle.

change them, you really want to be able to work all the wheels brakes. it just makes it easier for mitch to drive if you can do more. tell him to give you 4 wheel brakes and the lockers and he can do the steering, or maybe you could do everything and he just pedals it.

either way it doesn't matter, coz you're the co-driver and you'll always get the blame when something goes wrong :lol: :lol: :lol:
