    Talking Went Camping

    we had a bank holiday weekend so decided to go away in the VX, and i was certainly glad we had no guests as we needed ALL the room in the back with the seats up for all camping gear, lol

    We were going to do some off roading in a quarry but the terrain was VERY unforgiving and basically just hill climbs and without any decent articulation on the front wheels to get overt the axle twisters on the way up them i would have to have gunned it up and i wasnt willing to commit the underside of the VX to be banging on rocks etc at speed, plus i scratched both sides of the VX on bushes driving around the site the night before so i cried, had a paddy and then didn't take part!!

    As usual claire is a poser and acts a fool in pictures!!! and my camera battery ran out so limited pics



















    Unforgiving site!!

    That looks to be a fun outing...

    That young Lady of yours is a "keeper"...

    She' got a lot of personality, & that counts for a LOT in my book!

    What're all those odd fuzzy-looking rocks in that hillside :bwgr:

    Is that a mirror on the front corner of the VX?

    any VX outside the US has a mirror there...

    That reminds me. I might need to use your little super compressor again after the VX run if that’s ok Steve?

    You blokes and your bank holidays. You have those as often as we have rainy days here along the mid atlantic states, heh.

    Hoping work allows me to get some camping time in this summer. Last year was a bomb because of crunch-time.

    Does Claire know that you post those pictures up for complete strangers (and yanks at that) to see?

    The country side looks beautiful, but you're right that the "offroad" bit looks a little gnarly. If you're going to go camping a lot I would suggest getting a roof box to put all of your gear in. I have one and I can stuff a TON of stuff in it, which leave the interior of the VX open for guests.

    Looks like you're really enjoying the VX....keep it up.

    Man, that little terrain park looks like a blast!!

    I'm so itchy to go camping, it's driving me nuts! So nuts I went and bought a little camp stove at REI just to keep from freaking out!!! Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner!
