King of the Valleys
« on: 01 August 2013, 13:31 »
One of the guys I share the workshop with has asked me to co-drive at KoV 9-11th August. It takes place just up the road from Merthyr in that Wales.

Hopefully we'll have his Jeep ready for then.

Trailer for the event, which is just outside Merthyr in that Wales, at Walters Arena:

By co-drive I mean I'll be one of the goons running around with a strop, or the end of a winch cable while he shouts at me from the drivers seat.  :shocked:

This was him at the event last year:



More recent image of the truck:



Got a lot of prep to do for the event.  Might not make it, but if we do it looks like it'll be quite exciting. 

Apparently results will be updated on a live feedhere:

So you can see when we drop out.  :grin:

I'll keep you guys posted.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

 :huh:

I'm sure it would have been an epic weekend, but I have a lot of other stuff on at the moment and it didn't make sense.
