| Hi! BazDisco told me about you lot! Said you know how to have fun in the mud! Running two 93 Surfs at moment! One is running on BF Goodrich, A/T 35's, with 3" body lift and 3" Susp lift! billy is a bit scruffy but he dont mind getting dirty. Blown the front CV at moment though, so limping in 2wd, (ouch ) The other one I have is Bazz' old Surf. Standard at moment but plans to make him as Billy! Its running on 31's at moment, but will up it a bit to 33 M/T's. 35's hurt. (Diffs and pocket, lol) Just took posession of a great Saluki Dog, in the last 5 months, and he is taking the biggest part of the dosh that was to be spent on the trucks. He is only on his 9th month, so young and dumb. Dont think when running and got a tendancy to hurt himself a lot. (On first name terms with the vet staff already) Don't begrudge it a bit though, he is a great companion. (Soft as shit realy though, so bunnies are safe at moment, lol) $x4's and Sals, are both new to me so trying to spend as much time with the both! | |

| Nah thanks! lol. Going off the road next week for a while so I can do the drive! Need to drop the front diff a tad to straighten up the stub axles. They are a bit too much of an angle to take any punishment and broke one already! | |

| The two boys together! [img] [/img] This was taken when Baz and myself went to sight his gun. He had only just taken posession of the red one a couple of days before! I soon made shure he had a few scratches on it when we got home though! Billy loves to push his way through new territory, and expects others to follow, lol. Helps if the driver is braindead as well, lol. | |

| Thanks for the welcome gang! Was told you were a good bunch on here!
As you can see, I try and blend in with the local comunity and not stand out in a crowd, lol. Seriously though, having billy has been a great help at my age. It helps when I cant remember where Iv'e parked the truck, (memory being only one thing that goes at 50, lol) There is always someone that remembers seeing it in one of the car parks and able to tell me which way to head! lol. Apart from that, people tend to stop as they come towards you so you can get through a gap before them, lol. Bit intimidating if you are in a mini I guesse, lol. | |

Go for 33's though, might keep the diff on the Red Surf a little longer than the Grey one then. Was told Im'e a little braindead when out, lol. What the hell! You get to my age and its live now or never I recon. I dont bounce as easy though thats the problem, lol. | |

| Thats the day we put the first scratches on the red truck, lol. Baz wasn't that happy I can tell you, he only just picked it up and I decided that I wanted to sight my Whierac 90 (cant spell it, lol.) He had just bought a SMK xs78, which I got now. Not brilliant but its my first gas gun. Used to spring, but this one ain't got any recoil at all, its great. I havent got any permission at moment but might have in Amanford way with any luck. They are only .22 pellets, but its a start. Need to learn to hit something with a pellet before taking on anything more dangerous, lol. So at the moment its wherever we can shoot we do.
Its a lot harder to go shooting nowdays, compared to when I was younger. (Old man coming out of me now, lol) But there again, anything is possible if you are determined enough!
Usualy got my gun with me when out and about, just incase, lol. Never know do you? | |

| Its ok if they stand still, lol. But there again I did have an encounter with one furry blighter, that stood there for three pellets, and then said, F***k this and tottled off back home. lol. That shocked me as much as the bloody bunny, lol.
Used to do a bit of skeet shooting in Eweny many years ago. Wasnt that bad then. Also used to shoot over the banking of the Severn, in Newport. Trap set up on the banking and shot over the water, it was a bit stupid now thinking about it. Things we remember when looking back, lol.
Bloody hell, Ime reminising again. LOL.
My mate does a bit with 22 rimfires! Only just realised that they were the same diameter bore as a .22 pellet. (But a lot faster, lol)
He drops at 100yds easily so he says. (I cant even see 100yds, lol)
Not that bad realy. | |
