fitted new tow electrics to the 110, and made a start on the rear x-member with some dinitrol - anyone remember the black and white mistral show

I picked the load mat up off Brendan at the Harrogate show, in the pic was the nakatanenga under cubby box and USB ports I also (finally) picked up the first lot of closed cell foam today for the floor of the 110 so I just need a good dry day to get on with getting the back tidied up and finished off

Got wheel spin....
first time on tarmac for me, turned right out of a side road onto a fast very wet road and floored it and it just flew. could'nt have done that when in manual for, think i would have run out of 1st by half way across the road. it did take me suprise as I have never had wheelspin on tarmac before.

That's what the right hand pedal is for I can get mine to squeal a tyre or two when pulling out of a junction but that is mainly due to a shift in bodyweight lifting a corner as you start off. Years ago in a farm workshop I used to work in we put a Mazda 3.5 turbodiesel in a 90 truck cab and with a gearbox from a V8 we could still get a bit of wheelspin in third Novelty wore off after having to rebuild the gearboxes and replace halfshafts though.

I'd imagine our friends with highly tuned Defenders probably spin wheels quite easily then BM52
