Platinum Member barrythewrangler Posted January 19, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted January 19, 2023 Eleanor here. Dave and I might pop up just to say Hello for 9:30am and meet everyone. We aren't kitted out for off-roading, however we live about 2 miles away from Salisbury Plain so would be nice to see you all. Hope this would be okay? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Bela Posted January 20, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi There, I have booked a place to this trip, however I would like to verify whether my Jeep is suitable.

Platinum Member jerryg Posted January 20, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted January 20, 2023 Where is your air intake - that's the question? I'm fairly sure all the more onerous parts of the routes on the 'perimeter' run can be bypassed and/or otherwise avoided. Our Team Leaders can advise, but the benefit of trekking with JOC is that no-one will be asked or 'persuaded' to do anything that they are not happy with and maybe damaging to their vehicle. You will not be vilified for refusing any part of the trip, in fact I would applaud you. Any fool can get stuck, but the trick is not to! Unless you really want to, and some do! And there are plenty fellow Jeepers to recover you if you do get stuck. So come and enjoy! But bring wellies, cos I'm not paddling in the mud and water to attach strops, you are! LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Volant165 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Platinum Member Share Posted January 21, 2023 On 18/01/2023 at 20:15, Mike WK2 said: It appears my 1100 miles round trip to Aberdeen over two days, was one trip to many for my intermittent Transmission fault on start up. It appears to now have become a permanent feature, and my gearbox is stuck in limp mode. With little chance of fixing it in the next two weeks as I’ve been hunting for the required part for 5 months now. Knowing spaces are limited for this event, to be fair to other members which may want to attend please feel free to release my place to someone else who can definitely attend. Hopefully sourcing the part and getting back on the road won’t take another 5 months Hi Mike, Sorry to hear you are having transmission issues. I just wanted to double check you are happy for your ticket to be reallocted still. There is a waiting list for the event so I am positive it would be snapped up if you no longer can use it.

Platinum Member Mike WK2 Posted January 21, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hi Lou, absolutely wouldn’t want someone to miss out when there is little chance I will be back on the road by the event.

Platinum Member HussaR Posted January 22, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted January 22, 2023 I don’t have a jeep yet - I’ve been planning on getting a wrangler 2 door rubi, but likely will only buy in June ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
