Jim Bell Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Took it for a run in the sun and it still kangaroos a little bit at low speeds at very low throttle. Will have to let @Jimbob McGregor have a look at it. dome, Shirley Knott, garbaldy and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 The current wheels are shite. Theyre OEM but look horrible and badly need a refurb so I'm looking for some steels that will fit and possibly some ALL TERRYIAN tyres. For some light Laning. loserone, 320touring, Shirley Knott and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 We are a pushing on into a fortnight of Ssangyong ownership and it has been busy. It's first trip out was up to Weardale to see @Jimbob McGregor Verdict from the SKYRAMP tm is that she is reassuringly solid. Which is nice. It's really in its elephant going up and down lovely hills slowly.

Jim Bell Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Its not a horrible place to sit for the odd four hours so I ran it up the hill for some Scotoshite GLFing. Gang signs. Early start to be on the start line by 10:00 am. Goes alright on the flat. Dyslexic Viking, Popsicle, 320touring and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 She couldn't beat a freshly laid egg but she tried her best. Credit to @davidfowler2000 for the trackside youtubing. versus @rml2345 in the handsomest Volvo at the track. (though he did cheat by putting redexx in the tank after the tech inspection. Those extra octanes really made the difference) And in car. VID_20220515_133918704.mp4 privatewire, rml2345, dome and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 My three 20 second runs were by far the slowest of your day but it's not about winning, it's about grinning. Great to see all the attendees. Top bants as ever. After racing, I swung past to see @Lacquer Peel to pick up some pressed juice of the vegertals. Think we fitted about 600 litres of fuel into it. And about 600 old car magazines. And haim. She sat a bit low on the way back down the hill but the engine did not give two fucks about the heavy load. It pulled just as well as it did empty. It's such a good lump. Think it was about 400 miles round trip. Through sun, torrential rain and fog. Over b roads, country lanes, motorways and down a drag strip. It doesn't feel at home on any of them to be honest, I think it would prefer to be off road. All in all she's not a bad turn for and auld girl. dome, Dyslexic Viking, fatharris and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on eBay on a £999 start auction at the mo man. Due to finish on Friday. It's a bit more than I paid (imagine that!!)

garbaldy Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Excellent it's a few years since I've been to crail, one thing I've not missed is that key sound while off roading it used to get on my nerves as I always forgot to remove the jangley bit from mine before launching into the scenery.

How did yours get on with off roading man? Was it a decent turn? I'm hoping to take mine to Drumclog once I have some decent tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
