First, many sincere thanks to all the organisers who put in a fantastic effort to give all of us a gr8 weekend.  There were many,many terrific

jeeps to be seen and a host of friendly drivers. Fun was had by all. Can't wait for next time!

 

Following up on PDBs comments re the absence or scarcity of WKs.  Sadly it actually applies to many older models.The Jeep brand is about an enormous history of adventure and success in many off road fields.  I ,and others felt it was a shame that so few members with older jems failed to come along. I noticed a small number of TJs, one solitary CJ (a cracker! ), two KJs, no XJs, the WJs, no WKs, no ZJs, no Willys etc  and only one YJ. 

So, come on all you folk with some brilliant Jeep cars,bring'em out.  Let us other enthusiasts see them and watch them being used. Let's face it, there's not a lot they can't do and wouldn't it be nice to see a few more pics of oldies in action!

Well said digger

ThankYou to Jim and the team at JOC for another superb event in testing times. Had a great time both days and met/ caught up with some great people. 
Big thanks to John at Slindon 4x4 and credit to JOC and MJUK and all the supporters for the charity raffles too.

Can’t wait for the next event.

Had a brilliant weekend yet again and met some wonderful people.  Sorry but i only took a few photos as I was on my own and driving most of the time.  I would like to thank Jim and the rest of the team for organising such a great event yet again. !!!!!!

Just adding to the thanks to al the organisers great event. Unfortunately our WK2 was there but only day 1. Our already well past rear air suspension died 1/2 way through the afternoon. 
 

But great 1st day and a good excuse to do the planned suspension upgrades.

Hi Tim C, shame you couldn't make it. The CJ was camped next to me. John and Carol were lovely people and real enthusiasts. The CJ was an import and it was amazing. One of the best I've ever seen. The interior was super, reminded me of an aeroplane. Really cool!

I could fancy one of those if I had room. How about a little competition for best oldie or something?

Had a great time over the weekend, sad I didn’t get to stick around for dirtiest Jeep, three hours in and it was building well

We admired the CJ too and thought it amazing and remembered it from the 2020 camp.

That is a very smart CJ7 Laredo in a couple of those pics. With half doors too, very nice indeed. Who is the proud owner of that?

Pretty sure its a mate of the land owner John

Some great photos there- Ill try and dig some of the ones i got out soon.

 

My only issue is that you meet great people on these events, get their names and then spend ages matching screen "Handles" to jeeps etc...

Don't suppose anyone makes it easy do they?

 

 

[digger]

Good idea  P.  Not so sure about the suckers though, I never seem to have a lot of luck with them. It would also help ole'gits like me remember peoples names! LOL.  Perhaps a sticker of some kind. JOC with a blank space for name etc.

I'd just like to add my thanks to everyone involved in organising the event. My cousin and I had a blast, and it was great to meet friends old and new. Thanks also for the superb photos. Here are a few of ours...

And yes I did spend over an our with a sponge trying to bail the water out - no one with a rifle handy when you need one

How’s the Jeep ? Dried out any more

Hi Caroline thanks for asking, got some more water out on Sunday evening but need to dig my aquavac out of the back of the works van, work is getting in the way of Jeeping yet again Plan is to spend the weekend getting any last water out, cleaning the Jeep and changing the amplifier, hopefully that is all that is wrong

How's things with you? There have been some great photos posted of your Renegade in action

[Caroline12]

I glad it’s generally ok, I plan to clean my Jeep too, I’m on call this week, so weekend may be busy. 
i m fine, thanks, amazing at what my little Jeep could do. Just signed up for 11 September do at Colefield ?

great weekend looking forward to the next one. 
hope your Jeep dries out and no more issues

Thanks for that Caroline I am sorta sure it will be ok, but may involve a lot of swearing at some point .............. watch this space

Being on call is just a right pain, know it well, hope your not too busy and get to spend time lavishing the love on your little Jeep

Your right on how amazing the Renegades are and what they are capable of. A lot of fun in a small package

Really glad you had such a good time at Summer Camp and have got the off roading bug, though i did notice none of the Renegades went throught the same puddle I did ........................ seems only WG and KJ owners are that stupid

OH MY GOD Raakhee 4 hours and 25 mins to clean your Jeep ..................... how long is it going to take to clean mine inside and out ???????????????????????????

My brother saw mine when I got back on Sunday and described it as "looking very warry"

Looks like its going to be the whole weekend cleaning mine then and it still wont be as shiney as yours

We managed to bring a sandpit home from Saturday's fun on the chassis rails and transfer case protection!
