Fancy a bash in Kent?

Recommended Posts

There is a stoney carpark which lecky buggies will handle fine (Even my XXX4 didnt break on it) and the rest is very much like the ground at Penenden Heath (Maidstone KB) ie soil, short grass, leaf litter under the trees etc but with some much bigger jumps and crawling areas. It should be a great day out!! I would like to get as many TC members there as poss so we can get some really good action and some videos done, So who else is up for it??????????

Dan does have his cars still but is just not interested in them. Since I last replied the other day I have had irrational cravings for an XC so I will be tapping him up about that ASAP. For anyone who is going to the Warren who has not been already check out my action pics to see what its like and also make sure you bring with you some sort of trials vehicle as thats what the Warren suits best. Can you send me an email 1 or 2 weeks in advance of the event as theres so much going on here at the moment I will no doubt forget, Cheers Chris!

Welcome to TC 28yokid, our next KB is being held in Ashford at the Warren, if you know it great, if not here are the directions......

Leave M20 @ Jct 9, head towards Ashford/A20, once at the roundabout take the 2nd exit towards Ashford town center, almost imediately take first left (Looks like a small country lane) just follow this road and the carpark will come up on the left. Et Voila!! The Warren......LOL

Bangstick, I just took a look at your action pics, looks like the Warren should be a good location for my motley collection of semi-runners!

28yokid, in case you didn't see it in the posts, we will be there on Sunday 28th Sept (a week on Sunday), hope you can make it.

I will be bringing the Rush Evo, maybe the Savage, and all the electric trucks and buggies that I can fit in the back of my car. I'm hoping to get the Twin Det up and running for this bash; it's been giving me grief but I think the motors just need a bit of a clean, and if I have time between now and then I would quite like to get the old XR311 working.

You boys and girls enjoy the 28th. I've now got a photoshoot with the 504 on Sunday for Practical Classics magazine so it's going to be a sober weekend for me. So Here is hoping for top notch weather for both parties. And post some pictures or a movie....where is the one from the last KB Chris??

Hope you enjoy the shoot Stu - there were next to no piccies from the last KB as we were all too busy playing. I think I took a couple of pics which I will try to get uploaded, they were on the phone camera though so the quality might not be that exciting. I've got some video footage too, but I've just realised that this new PC I bought doesn't have a firewire port like the old one did, so I can't get it loaded up yet :lol: .

I usually break at least 6 of my own so I hope everyone will return home with all theirs still running, lol. But knowing our KB's im sure there will be far more casualties than 6.....

Ive almost finnished repairing from the last bash and should now be bringing the following.....

4WD Marder

1/8 Swift nitro buggy

Nitro CRT.5

Savage X 4.6

Brushless Mini T

Brushless E Firestorm

XC Landy

Red Barron

Blitzer Beetle

Clodbuster

Hi-lift

King Blackfoot

TA-01 Escort Cosworth

Pug 205 Dinna

Rising Storm

I would have my MT2 but the engine is seized solid from the last Ashford bash, Mental jumps tho, LOL.......

Looks like its gonna be a cracking day all round, A good turnout and great weather! What more you you ask for. No on second thoughts dont answer that, LOL

See you all in the AM.....Chris

Sorry chaps (and chapess's), I won't be there for this one. My kitchen was done over the weekend which means I have to lay a new floor. Not ideal sunday fun but if I can get done early enough I might pop down on my bike to say hello. Here's hoping it's dry for ya!

All Kent peeps,

Thanks for a fun time!

Sport tuned is now fitted to the pumpkin and CVAs on order (Thanks Jozzer), although I would appreciate a link to some flexible body mounts, after my little accident! :)

I was amazed to see all the cars on display, and some real beasts -Belly! Was pleased with how my pumpkin climbed (in spite of standard motor and 2WD), but was disappointed that it couldn't jump -not enough speed!

To rectify this I have just ordered a Fire Dragon for the next meet! Maybe Belly could advise on a crazy motor for it??????LOL!

Thanks again :P

28 YOK.

What an excellent day that was :) . My E-zilla finally gave me some runtime, and the roostering around the car park was top fun. I even managed to get 2 runs from it, and no breakages or acrid speedo electric smoking either, well happy! My Mini-T got a run for the first time in over a year, and performed really well, and the WW2 gave me a long runtime of fun too.

For me the best part of the day was when the Clod, Willy, Blackfoot and others got together for an 80's throwback race around the carpark, that was great fun :P:angry: . It was good to see the crawlers in action too; thanks for giving me letting me have go with yours Chris (still don't know if I would get one for myself though, but you never know).

I've posted up some pics of the crawlers in action in my showroom, hope you enjoy them.

Missed this one - real shame - I had a motorbike run with friends down to the south coast so couldn't make it. Look forward to the next.

???????????????????????????????????Are you sure you got the right thread fella? No one has made any plans for a KB on the 30th Jan 2009!

Anyways what a fantastic day!!! That had to be one of the most enjoyable bashes ever for me, great weather, good friends, not too many breakages, some new faces, loads of photos, even got some videoing done (well nikki did anyway) LOL

Big shout out to all that came and made the day so much fun, Lockeddiffxc (Pieman! LOL), Jozza, bonnerworld, fatal_error, 28yokid & 28yokids dad........

Its going to take me a while to sort out all the vids and photos so if you can all PM me your names and addresses il get them off to you ASAP on discs.

The next KB will be held in ESSEX possibly around Epping Forest or somewhere simular for more off roading fun, Jozza and I will try and get the venue sorted!!

Thanks again everyone for such a great day, Untill next time........TTFN

That was a fantastic bash

Breakages at a low and no rain (are we sure it was a kent bash)

Favorite parts must have been attually getting my F350 crawling well (Thanks for the loan of the tyres - Will get some on order)

The vintage trucks humping my evo and each other was great fun... nice dust bowl effect..
