my little treat arrived at work today....


no malatesta kobras available after 2 weeks, currently on slick front tyres so needs must and tyres direct sent me 4 of these - i wanted different and got it

side grips look the biz and there is a much stronger and ribbed sidewall moulding than the basic Extremes, and they come with all the injection moulding spikes still on so they tickle your hands when you roll them along am i trying to justify the cost a little 2much

Ste, how much and what are they, Ive always like the old Macho tyres and with that sidewall protection I am sold

Went to an outdoor re-enactment type event at the weekend and got a new paint job while setting up all the tents while working as setup and takedown crew







Never got out of 2wd and the mud was pretty thick. Not anywhere as extreme as some of you guys but seeing as all I had was fairly worn road tyres and the ground was sodden I though it was pretty good going. Never got stuck once unlike quite a lot of other vehicles which I ended up towing.

And I achieved one aim of getting mud on the top of the roof

Some one experienced that top bolt before then and thought sod it its not needed. [/quote]

Nope it was me. Guilty as charged. I was just finishing putting the G:box back in the other day and as people keep turning up needing translations and sheep need looking after etc. the tightening bit got overlooked.
If you think it is awkward on a british one then try doing it on a french one with the brake servo and steering etc. in the way. Luckily I didn't have to remove it but putting a new bolt in was so very not easy.
Off came the slave cyl and the g/box crossmember and then lower the box as far as poss. to get access.

How long was it that you managed to hold the dislocation cones for, before you broke into an impromtu Madonna impression????
