    perhaps somewhat low considering you're the first person I've ever heard talk about it on Motors!

    :pac:

    I suppose if there's enough support, the almighty admins may deem it worthy.

    Admins be praised!!!!

    In any case, this thread should probably be moved to Sys/Forums

    Then the question has already been answered. And quite recently, too.

    I'm not talking about SUV's and the like. I mean real off-roading not doing the school run by the yummy mummys. Trail-riding, getting mucked up to the eyeballs, getting stuck in mucky ditches, riding through rivers and streams. Any one else out there whos into this? I dont think the motorbike forum is the place for it by the way

    Have you read the haynes book "Build a buggy for 100 quid or whatever"

    I'm going doin' that this summer. I also know a few lads who are into dirtbikes.

    It would be great if there were clubs as I'm not sure where I'm going to use the buggy yet but I defo will find a place.

    Now the only thing I need to do is find out where I can get plans for putting suspension onto that design.

    Ok then. There are some of us out there. What do we do now? How about I get the ball rolling. I have a Honda 350FM 4WD. Goes anywhere. never got it stuck yet. I take it hunting and walking the dogs. I can pull the dog trailer no probs. No winch on it yet but will soon. Also gona fit a lamp on it for lamping rabbits. I actually dont have any pics but if we can get a forum going lets do a photo thread as well.

    Patience, grasshopper :D

    Correct procedure is to quietly gather support on the forums forum and hope that the admins (in their wisdom) agree and actually create the forum.

    No guarantees and no time frame either
