Only listened to the change in exhaust note now. It certainly sounds great! What's the difference in interior noise like?

It does sound great:) and it's a bit louder, makes more of a drone now, to be honest you can only really hear it when you put your foot down.

HAHA You say you should have spent the money on the mini, but those wheels are awesome and suit the car perfectly. 

 

Brings back memories of off road training - they made us get deliberately stuck in a small lake :lol: and we then had to jump out and get attached the tow ropes etc. All good fun though, and when you have your boots and combats on, no one gives a damn. 

 

Also watched one of the instructions come flying down quite a steep gradient and dip the clutch to show what happens - that thing got some air!

Haha yeah they look alright, and I need to do my landrover and trailer so I can go off roading with work in the wolfs as it sucks being a passenger, at least I can take my own landy off road.

Yeah you definitely need to get that sorted!

 

The guy who taught me/took us out drove nearly everything the Army had. He used to take one of them, the 110 I think, amateur rallying!

 

I've had a go in the trucks as well, but only off road, never got the proper license. The guy who did that was taking a few people out, but he was a mate of mine. Got to do all sorts in that, although I did nearly put it in a ditch when reversing to park it up!

Very tidy 90.
I am in Somerset and i have 2 series landys, I could be at the plains within a hour I expect.
It would be great if you could give me a pm or a text sometime when you next go and I would tag along ?

No one else from my way is into their off roading and going up there alone would be stoopid.

Thanks, I haven't managed to wire in the drl's yet as the wiring that came with them is too short, so I'm going to have to extend it a bit.
