Snowdonia/Bala LRE Pics/Video post
Here seems a good idea to post pics and video instead of at the end of 32 pages on the original thread... So please feel free to add yours
Hope that's OK, otherwise I'm sure the Mods will merge them if required.....
Quote of the day HAS to be Bobbycrispbox
Errr, guys, I think I've failed to proceed through this muddy section (or something like that) but the words he used was an excellent way of saying I'm Stuck in the Mud!
If anyone else can think of the right phrase he used, please please let everyone know! (maybe someone has pics......?)
Anyway, some pics in my gallery, but a few more here.....
DiscoDunc in the Mud
90BHP Up and Over in the mud
Me! Getting a bit of a tight fit…
D3 Calendar shot…?
Bodsy recovering 90BHP, rescued from a Tree Stump!
Drove home in access height, with "suspension lowered, HDC fault, special programmes off" , DSC warning light, suspension warning light and the steering wheel at 40 degreed off centre . . . .
Luckily spoke to local dealership and car in at 8am "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Must be from a wooden box, crate thing I hit on the way home. TBH didn't see much of it as I was making good progress. Told SWMBO that we would be home for 6.30 . . . .
Dealer says parts required are £30 - arm and gaiter - phew."To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

you must have hit that lost rambler with some force to effect the steering. Are you sure it wasnt like that when you first collected the car Duncan

BCB Phrase
I think the phrase the bobbycrispbox used was "i think i have failed to make foward progress" i am sure that was not his exact words, you really had to be there ! He is a master at avoiding the "S" word
the phrase whatever it was has my vote for quote of the day CLUB "Ah Shor it'll be grand"
First D3 in the World with a Hydraulic Winch.
2006 Disco 3 TDV6 S Auto,
Diff Locks, Turbochipped, Raised Air Intake, 220volts Onboard, Onboard Compressor, Large Bore Exahust, Underbody Protection, One or two Other Mods as well.
Other toys include, Argo Avenger 8x8, Tatra 6x6 Motorhome (Being Built)
If anyone objects to being in shot and wants something removing, then let me know.
I object to the only shot of me being the point where I am grounded on that tree stump... The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Thanks Mal_NW for the videos of 'the silver group' - I now have proof for SWMBO that I was there on the day!
I only managed a few still shots through a dirty windscreen which I'll try and tidy up and post. If anyone has any photos of S16 MUD (silver) perhaps you can PM me / send me a copy Clubs Mantec, Tasmods, LEDS, AT2s on 18s, Maxxis Bighorns on 17s, Remote FBH, BAS.

John - I seem to remember you wanted that 'incident' videoing.
Not sure if my lad managed to get anything...... how much for him not to look through his stuff I see no ships........
I suppose I should be happy - the pictures don't convey the sound of a cross-member and a sump guard trying to break free from an obstacle..The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
