Bucket list type of thing.

We get a view of that over the Downs from our house!

I was on the downs at devils dyke the day of the Shoreham airshow crash. Very sad event but the remaining planes did a fly past salute staright off so close to down you could see the pilots. Incredible to watch and incredible pilots

speak for yerself young man .... not a bad bus, but'd be damned thirsty dragging that second diff around all day ... I've certainly driven worse, but 500 or 1000 miles in one'd cure the desire

Judging by the way some of the old codgers drive around here we'll be lucky if we are still permitted to drive a car when we get to their age. Over 3 1/2 tonnes could be interesting although it does strike me that if I chopped Mrs. Navvy out for a younger model it would solve a lot of problems

I hope she's not on here or I fear for your immediate future...

Something like this

Well I had thought about doing similar to one of the old MJ’s great old 4x4, or an RL!

She's had similar ideas, reckons a lower milage model would drink less, emit less, have a quieter idle and a tidier body

Well we fly to Prague tomorrow for a week. 2 nights booked airbnb then don't know where we are going

We had 2 nights in Prague then hire car towards Austria stopped at airbnb for 2 nights, mate fished me and other mate hired E mountain bikes.
Then towards Austria again and had 1 night in a airbnb (should have been 3 nights but it was terrible)
Towards Prague again and 2 nights in a medival town with river running through (plenty of rafting. All in all bloody good. Food, country side, beer and people were fantastic.
Just added up, about £1200

Tbh my goal would be a MAN TGE LWB swamper conversion 4x4...those ex army stuff look cool but I'd rather be able to sit at 85 all day and get to my destination

 

[pettsy]

Tbh, I don’t really get the “swamper style”. The man/crafter group on FB is full of them, some of which are 50k plus vans which will go no further off road than up the kerb

I’ve got 2 MAN 4x4s, one on BFG All Terrains and one still on standard tyres. The one on ATs is actually surprisingly good across wet fields etc. The one still on road tyres is hopeless on wet grass, just spins all the wheels. I’m going to put ATs on that as well once the weather turns (or a set turn up at the right money!)
