Scrambler ? can't see that getting across a wet field, never mind a muddy one 

Here you go Trigger, a scrambler crossing a wet field , skip to 1 minute 20 seconds to avoid a lot of BS about drinking coffee and stuff like that, now admittedly my pipe does appears to have fallen from my mouth , apologies for the end of the film showing me and my girlfriend going for a meal etc.
(PS don't tell my wife).

Broke today's ride at my favourite pub today, the landlord is a petrol head, he's got this Hungarian Csepel in the foyer, wants 2k but I know he'll take less , I'm tempted, I think it's a stunner what do you think? , 125cc



He's just sold this stunner for a friend, £120k, ouch!

When I was an Apprentice.........a colleague at work bought a similar second hand red E Type convertible for £695.00.

Mind you.....that was in 1968 ish.

If only we'd known..........

[MarkCR750]

Yes a mate of mine bought one in the late 70's for 2k and sold it in the classic car boom in the 90's for 70k, nice if you can time it right!.

Seem to recall you are Derby way...? Therefore intrigued as to where the petrol head's pub is, as I am quite near and does not look familiar?

[MarkCR750]

Its the Blue bell at Farnah Green, not far from Belper, he has a classic car meet ever second Tuesday in the summer that's worth going to.
Very good food as well, not exactly cheap but great meals. Where are you based ?

[Rozabikes Tim]

Know it well from my early days. Pretty up market establishment last time I visited..... yes would imagine a nice ride out on a sunny evening.

Grew up in Duffield just down the road. Now live near Alfreton.

[MarkCR750]

Yes, there are a few moneyed types in there, it shows on the classic car nights when 1930's Rollers and 1960's Ferraris appear rather than the usual Moggie minors and Austin 1100's  , good bunch though.

[MarkCR750]

Here's a nice bonus of the new un, you get your own parking space at Starbucks (hell of a battle getting over that grass though trigger 😄)

Is this analogous to people who have 4WD vehicles that never see a spot of dirt ?

"Analogous" now thats a posh word for a Friday afternoon.

Indubitably

It's just my vernacular

I'm wondering how it got on the grass without leaving tyre marks and with no grass marks on the wheels.  It begs the question ; how many men carried it and placed it there?

It must be very light

What I can say is I could get my VFR there but it would slowly sink in...
