Off Road Power Show, Santa Pod, Northants 22-23 August 2009

As mentioned in the letters sent out to all the teams a couple of weeks ago, I shall be setting up the Landy Rally Club stand at Off Road Power.

A new event, don't expect it to be massive, but it should be an interesting weekend nevertheless.

I think my main role over the weekend will be to prevent Fred (who's confirmed he's going) from blowing up his 5 litre V8 monster! I know what he's like. If he gets a sniff of a challenge that a Landy has more grunt than Tango, he'll be up that strip quicker than you can say "tangerine". He will also have Tango Tow in tow with a full set of Landy Rally graphics ... should look good.

Anyway, if anyone want to join us, dare say we'll have a beer/wine or two in easy reach.

Not a bad ol' event. Strange concept Land Rovers/4x4's going fast (or at least attempting to) but gotta say it was different!

Talking of strange ...



Tango 1 & Tango Tow - you would think so far so good, now Tango Tow has been stickered up. Look again!!!







You may well ask. Well I couldn't afford a Howling Moon or Eezi-Awn roof tent, so I went for the cheap option! Thought I'd go for some extra oooommmpph going up those mountain passes, hence the spare engine linked to the rear axle. Makes sense to me!

Have you told Bonnie were she's going to have to sleep on the rally yet ?


That roof tent idea looks like one of Kieran's

And a half of punctuation, too, please!

Okay, I'll come clean. Jan from UK CB Centre (his new name for CB Shack) was told to pitch in a certain place on Friday when he arrived. Saturday morning he quickly realised he was miles from the action, so four of them walked his marquee around the drag strip to just in front of us, while I moved one of their tents and genny to easy way - on the Rangie. Did look daft and mad a great photo.

Think I'll send that it to the Land Rover mags come April stating that I'm launching a new line in roof tents. Bound to be one numpty that publishes it surely?
