You need to use a photo bucket style service and the paste the IMG code they give you in the post.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

how do i do that then????

thanks gr4h4m managed to get my head round it in the end.

Nice never seen one of those like that. I have a jeep JK on 35"s. Have yet to off road it out here. Look like you are having fun.

1991 mini cooper
1971 mini clubman

Surprisingly capable car. A standard one turns up for the off road play days and he gets it more places than I thought possible and unlike the landy we use, so far has driven home every time in one piece!

excellent stuff i used to have a suzuki sj410 jeep was very good off road went everywhere i wanted

it is sooooo much fun

i started out by going to a scrap jard and getting a crashed 4X4 and using it then scraping it again

now i spend a stupid amount of cash on it

but i do it competitively and theres a cash prize fro whoever comes 1st 2nd and 3rd at the end of the year

so it not to bad i sometimes end the year earning cash

I remember a mate of mine had an sj a good few years ago and used to go and play with the landys. While the ground clearance couldn't match the others, he still surprised a fair few with what a standard car could do. Pulled a few out the mud too.

yeah i found that i think its coz there so light they dont get bogged down in all the mud.

but the standered ones REALLY dont like water hehe i fonud that the hard way lol.
