I've been to a jeepclub event before and they were a friendly bunch, they didn't mind gate crashers in non jeeps either. Let me know if you do decide to go. My only hesitation is that after Hogmoor at these sandy courses the sand gets absolutely everywhere. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

The engine and interior cleaned up ok but all of the plastic mouldings at the bottom of the doors got filled with sand from going through (and getting stuck in) the water runs. Everytime I washed the car more sand would appear at the bottom of the doors. Same for the plastic mouldings at the bottom of the bumpers, the intercooler radiator and also the air compressor housing for the suspension was full of sand which made it very noisy. There are good posts on disco3 though on how to clean all of these areas after going off road.

I can second that been there many times in the jeep and a few times in brothers D3. Although a standard RRS or D3 is more than capable of doing most of the site the sand and water is brutal on brakes etc. Im sure i will be made welcome
No way am i taking shiney though MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers Jeep 4.0 High Output XJ 94 6" teraflex lift, c/w rear coils, 9500lb winch, 35" TSL super swamper boggers, safari snorkel, custom made bumpers, tom woods custom double cardon driveshaft, twin electric fans. Don't follow it..............you wont make it. The first 4 x 4 by far. |

Hum...OK, I am thinking twice about going now...I don't have a problem with mud and all as it's easy to clean, done it in the past with my previous RRS and with my P38 before that but I do not have the facility to start removing the compressor, bumpers and all in order to clean the car....Central London is not really the best to start removing parts in the street!
