Thanks Ken. It looks fun. Perhaps not quite as extreme as Tom's Farm in the winter. But certainly fun and not that damaging. I'd like to have come, but too short notice and I really would like to replace my clutch before getting too extreme or I'll be going home with the AA man.

Hey, here's an idea. Sabotage the car when I've done, go home on trailer - SAVE the Diesel!!

I've heard of pouring brake fluid on the inside of your wheel as if a caliper has failed, the AA won't even take the wheel off to check, just call the truck out straight away Wink

The trick here is to spot the possible, but extreme and the "Err,not, I don't think so." I live on the edge of a lake. Is that extreme or daft? Well I haven't tried crossing it, I can tell you. It looks like fun. And it's not that far from me. I will get there, just not that weekend. I have Robin Trower on the Sunday and it's my lad's 13th Birthday.
