Spanner 4x4 Team - Update

Hi peeps

Was out last weekend at Abingdon 4x4 Festival and thought I would put the Disco through it's paces....

The outcome wasn't that good though!!!!

Broken rear shocker, popped spring but still attempted the mud run.... and I didn't make it so I now have as much mud inside as outside so trying to dry it out before this weekends London 2 Brighton

Other pic is a mate who bobtailed his Disco - took 2 years and cost £16K - looks the nuts through

All for now....
