Just thought I'd introduce myself, the name is Danny - I was the "fool" driving the Touareg! What a great day!

A big thanks to everyone who attended. I spoke to a number of people - was overwhelmed by the friendlyness and organisation at this event. I hope to attend further meets - think I could do with some tyres, a suspension lift and a skid plate first though - will wait until she is 10 year old though until I get a snorkel, have seen what happens when you get stuck in H2O!!!!

I understand the day was a celebration of a birthday and also to celebrate the life of a sadly missed friend. I thought this was very touching that you all cared so much and dedicate the day so.

I'll be watching for other events and hopefully see some of you again.

Fantastic!

Danny

PS: The crunch on the "Big One" didn't actually do any damage - I can't believe it!

Welcome along Danny :D
I was guilty of thinking to myself" what the hell is that bloke up to in that new Touareg"!! :lol: but as already said, hats off to you mate-you had a bash at places the landy whussies would'nt dare go :D :D If Im honest, I was impressed at how the VW handled the terrain :wink: Dont damage it though, get yourself and old fronty next time!
Cheers

So it was you 4x4 chrissy who tried to soak us! Just as well we managed to get the window up!!!!

I've got some questions - probably not for this topic but what the heck let's see how it goes.

Farley was the second time I have been off road - ever, that's assuming (as someone mentioned already) that parking on the pavement does not contribute to offroading! So what makes a good off road car? I mean the Treg has hill start assist, hill decent control, low range, central diff, EDL and 500mm fording depth as standard. not to mention 45 degree incling and 35 degree yaw angles...surely if I raised it a few inches, added a snorkel and put some beefy tyres on than it would be classed as a real offroader?

Aside from that thinking of getting a car that I can wreck - but not sure about fronties as I hear parts are hard to get hold of?

Cheers all
Danny-Treg

I wouldnt have anything other than a Fronty. It amazed me just what they can do on Sunday. Although SDTPC would've been handy (Steep Descent Twitchy Pukker Control) :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

Hi Danny it was me who posted about them only going up pavements they are very capeable off road i know i used to work on them but no one wants to use them for that they just want them for the school run but if you want a toy then a fronty is the way forward cause parts are cheap and easy to get hold of and they are fantastic fun. :D sorry if i affended you and welcome along
It might be slow but i can go anywhere!
