Doh! Paul fluffed the gearchange and couldn't get my old girl into top, hence he was pipped at the line. I think I know where most of the oil is going on her too. Out of the exhaust from the look of it? Glad I finally fitted a dipstick before the show this year and changed what was left of the oil after 5 years of running around.

 

Thanks as ever to the Twickenham off roaders for taking the time to organise and run the truck trials, which were entertaining as ever, and of course dominated by the Explorers.

Lovely event, do you think gloss paint jobs would lower aerodynamic resistance factor?

Yeah, tape up all the gaps! Anyone got three miles of yard wide duct tape?:-D

[rbrtcrowther]

More like tape up the air intake on the other competitors:cool2:

Missed the race, we were camping opposite some Scammells in Monktons and tried to keep an eye out when ever they left on mass so missed the race but did see the matador towing. Great vehicles still amazes me just how large they are :shocked:
