no probs dave....i,v got winches front and rear and a thing called a ground anchor which is the bar you see on the front...there is a large spade/blade attatches to it and when the winch pulls it sinks into the ground and you have an anchor point

gareth...

dave....we had a guy out with a Ł500 range rover today who does track stuff..bog standard with no locking diffs and he said....feck me this is better fun than the track...and i have to agree...had more fun in my landrover this year than anything else i have had

i like doing track stuff but lost interest as you spend half the day queing and not enough driving.....plus offroading is mucho cheaper...and i am scottish

Whats the situation with the lanes though?
99% of the lanes we ride are not exactly legal
But on a bike they,ve got no chance of catching you but it,s a different story in a car

broke the crownwheel and pinion or the detroit itself?....if he broke the detroit..well done

its actually the shock loading on the tranny parts that break shafts etc from wheelspinning then suddenly getting a grip on something....not really to do with power
