Just in from Julian is a mail that's got the first weekend in October (2nd - 4th) pencilled-in for another ELCO Lincomb weekend. I'm planning on going along (camping this time Laughing

) - hands up who else will be there?

Cheers

I’m new to these LC events!

Is Lincome Farm the one in Stourport on Severn? If so then I’ll be there as it would be rude not to as it’s on my doorstep! Smile

Next question, my LC is a family road car and not an off-road play toy, I have a Jeep Wrangler for that, so assuming I’m fit enough for the weekend, is it possible to come and play in my Jeep Wrangler or is this a no no? I fully understand if it is Cool

, I can just come in the LC and put a few faces to names!

Hi All,

Just spotted this. Tony has only just confirmed the dates so it will take me a couple of days to sort out the registration forms, but I'll let you know when they are up on the ELCO site.

As for other makes, obviously the preference is for LCs only so for the time being please just register LCs - as we get closer to the event and there are sufficient spaces I'll happily let in more other makes.

Okay, now I know Lincome Farm is on my doorstep, I’ll be there - hopefully! Thanks for the offer of your tyres Jon, but I’ll definitely not be playing in the LC at the moment. I might just take you up on your offer of a lift in your passenger seat if I cannot use the Jeep or I'm not fit enough, so I’ll just have to wait until nearer the time. Cool

after watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhwpYOwQLGw) I'm not sure my shiny one with dunflops will deal with the mud. or the grass. or the bricks. or the mud. Neutral

Looks like a huge amount of fun though.

That video shows some of the most entertaining obstacles but there are plenty of tamer obstacles to enjoy as well and it can be a lot of fun watching other people trash their trucks not forgetting sitting round the fire stuffing your face later on Laughing

Crispin, it's definitely worth the outing! You can test your shiny beast to the limits of your comfort zone - I expect you will give up before the 120/Dunflops do Very Happy

I reckon you'll be able to get a ride with someone else for the tough obstacles if you want to park up for a bit - I'm 99% sure I'll have a seat if you want one. My suggestion would be to have a stab at most of the obstacles but maybe spectate on Rubie hill... No doubt Jon will be going all out to conquer it now that his 100 is locked all round Cool

The V8 screaming and the 40 foot rooster tails will be worth the entrance fee alone!

And watching Ian taking no prisoners on any obstacles will also be an eye-opener! Who knows, you might even rub some of the shiny lacquer off yours during the weekend Twisted Evil

Cheers,
