Welcome, unfortunately there are only a few of us sensible people who saw the light and strayed from the green oval path in the Bristol area.

Hi Stu,
Sounds like your realising the virtues and no doubt will be enjoying the reliability of the Land Cruiser.

Welcome to the forum Stuart. Not too many active members in Bristol, for some reason Bristol is full of VW campers and defenders...

 

[stumog]

wobbly i would be interested to find out more about the wessex response please can we talk about this.
rob your very right to many numptys in vw campers. cant beat sleeping in the back of a cruiser its a long way down when your had a few.

welcome stumog there are a couple of cruisers around bristol but not many on this forum i have done most of the lanes around bristol bath area but i find the 80 is to wide as most are very over grown. would be nice to have a bristol meet maybe some laning then on to a pub?

 

[stumog]

x_shaun good idea mate which lanes do you do in yours? i am in hanham so got lots nice and close to mine. most are a bit tight if you like the paint on your car they are ace if you dont worry. i go to the plain a couple of times ayear normally on my own which is always a good laugh. i ended up in the middle of the marathon once. did get free drinks they were handing out.

red oktober nice to hear from we do go down that way on occasions do you have so good lanes down there? i have seen some pics but not sure where or what they are really like.

 

[x_shaun]

i have taken it down ring spit once when it was open i had about a inch clearance each side. and all the lanes around keysham wellsway area. i got the carpets out drying after last nights weather, the flood was deep than i thought. i live in stockwoodso not fare. well if you want to meet sometime let me no you proberly seen the truck going around bristol.

 

[stumog]

sorry been a few days. ringspit is not cruiser safe. when would yoo be up for going out and doing a few easy lanes.
