A very embarassing day....
So there I was in my G going up one of the lanes the G-Day had posted earlier with the flipped landrover.
Feeling very good about myself for getting up in my shiny with only a slight scrape to the running boards using road tires and on what can only be described as a rather quite steep and very tippy trail; successfully navigated primarily due to Piggy's expert guidance. :D
When lo and behold what comes bombing up without a break in stride???? A mini van full of kids with curtains and a tv in it.... :oops:
Will post pics of this embarassment later.
Ah well at least you did it Maxwell, I chickened out of taking my shiny one up that lane :oops:
Done it a few times in the crusty one though (its only a stones throw from where we live) and it would be very easy to get it wrong!
Just as well it wasn't a 2CV or you would have been classed with these morons:

that will be me in my delica then. :wink: who needs lockers.
Yes, and then with a huge grin, PP asked the others why they kept stopping. :lol:
Still, having a Mitsi Delica along on the lanes, was not as embarassing as having this pitched next door. :wink: :lol:
Piggy , never change .............. :D
Twodogs
I betcha me and my wee 1100cc Renault 5 would have got up there easy peasy, piece of piss. :lol:
at least my embarrassment about the mini van was somewhat mitigated by the fact that that it was driven by someone far more skilled than i.
that black thing was a cause for even greater embarrassment. especially when the groupies started gathering around our campsite asking for Mark's autograph thinking he was some rocker from a bygone era and piggy was his driver....
spinal tap i think...
:lol:
mark the rocker hill billy... :!: :lol: :lol:

Doesn't it have a rear locker?
I need something to make myself feel a bit better about the whole ordeal!
didnt feel like taking the rolls up the lane then?
have you taken the delcia off road much? i had almost forgotten that you had bought it!

Not unless it was being driven at about 140mph +
hehe, this one was slowed down by 2 cars in front, on a single-carriageway country lane, maybe he was just trying to move them out of the way (i was going in the opposite direction)

Unfortunately the pics of the mini van didn't turn out.... and not sure if anybody else got any.
Russ - Can't remember if it was you or G-Day who was talking about the advantages of the G being so narrow but there was a Discovery following us which got caught due to its width.
