| Wey hey, Mel's back for more! What a glutton for punishment!!! ‘ere, does Jok know about your halitosis, stinky feet and distemper - or does that only effect animals? Whatever, poor bloke will be in close proximity to you for seven days solid, night and day. THAT’S A WHOLE WEEK! Good luck Jok, think you’re gonna need it!  |

| Hi Tom, Thanks for the words of encouragement - always welcome, anyway could be worse, may have been a co-driver for the organiser | Quote: | | thats a very nice and shiny landy |
Just because it is a landy, does not mean it can not be shiny

| Thought I better join in and make myself known. As for the halitosis, stinky feet and distemper its okay the defender has enough air flowing through it to take any smells away, by the way Mel nice picture you posted, when are you going to photgraph yours.  Only joking, better not upset anyone before its even started. Looking forward to meeting you all. Jok Team ScoutAbout 2008 |

Just had a look at your website... Specifically your 110... Im sure Ive seen it somewhere before?!?!?
I like the colour coded trailer - very smart!
Are you running -1" springs or 17 rims? It looks somehow a bit non-standard height wise but cant put my finger on how or why...
Welcome, by the way... |

| Thanks for your comments and welcome....mechanically it's completely standard but it is running on 18" rims with 60 series tyres. They will of course be changed prior to Sept! I've had it at a few of the Land Rover shows over the last couple of years, the last one being Peterborough last Sept, so poss just seen it about at one of them? _________________ Dave

Ah ha! 18" rims... that's do it!
As for changing them before Sept - What you thinking of? I guess you cant put plain old steely's on - they'd stick out like a sore thumb! Are you wanting to increase tyre sidewall depth or simply protect the 18" rims by taking them off? |

| Mainly want to increase side wall and also 'cause these are terrible in any form of mud with their road biased tread. The other, and probably the main reason is that I only have 4 and run at the moment with a couple of tubes of the dreaded tyreweld type aerosols. Don't fancy going to Europe without a proper spare! Quite Fancy a set of 16" rims with possibly 265/75's or 235/85's...undecided yet. Probably stick a set of BFG all terrains on for the trip, but whatever I do I'll be looking for 5 of them.

Dave,
Id defo recommend 235x85 R16 BFG ATs... Corking, go anywhere tyre that lasts forever.
As for Rims, depending on how much you want to spend, here's a good set of 16x7s with a 3mm Offset so you can improve your steering lock. They are an alloy rated to 1400kg and weigh only 9.8kg.
