"Let's off road"

I used to be really into landies. With some spare cash Id have a nice 90 truck cab but only for the choice of aftermarket parts and mods. They aren't the final answer in off road capability but overall the availibility of parts seals it for me.

I had contaminated rear shoes in my jimny, local factors didn't keep them in stock and I called every dealer within a 100 mile radius none had them in the shelf! I needed them reasonably sharpish, dealers all said they've not had a need for them! If it was a 90 I had the choice of about 5 landy specialists nearby I could have used.

I don't miss the off road scene now. It had changed a lot in the time I was regularly involved. There's still a good bunch that do it but there's loads that just drive like fucking idiots ignoring all safety and skill. Anyone can bolt a winch on a kitted up 90 using it all effectively and safely is a different story.

That said, I have more time for cycling now........what a bunch of boring bastards that attracts!
