Thanks for all your kind comments.
It was a blast and no one died
We sent CarlS into the challenge first in Chelsea the 110. However there was no way she was going to climb out of the water and then up the wet clay bank Altered the gate and she managed it in a fashion. Proceeded to the next gate and there was a large rock sticking out the top of the crest. It was attempted but when the steering arm looked like it was going to bend we gave up. I attempted the challenge in the Red Pearl but only got as far as the clay bank.
Use this thread to post your pictures.

On a similar note, I particularly liked TFC and co's pictures of 'DISCO3' written on the ground in Tunisia too 8)2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

Re. the elephants footprints...
Is an obstacle path like that likely to be more difficult or damaging in a D3 with some form of a air leak (ie ours)? What I wonder is if increased pressure on the wheel with the leaking (?) suspension cylinder when articulating likely to make the problem worse, perhaps worsen the damaged cylinder or similar? It was something we took into account on the rock crawl and wonder if it's justified? 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

Tried that, the dealer claimed it's 'fixed'
It's also out of its warranty and if they refused to pay, it's never been a problem and so wouldn't be worth coughing up for (or would it? ).

If its a continuing non repaired issue that started under warranty, then I think it is still classed as an outstanding warranty issue. Worth a check with someone.
Anyway...
Lets try and keep this thread clean - cause Andrew will get upset

Having watched TFC's pictures of Tunisia on Photobucket, I liked the slideshow option.
So all the photos of the Training group that I took are also available at
