Had a trip away from the event for a few days, and some nice "camp" spots, (wild camps are illegal in Croatia  )

Is that a roof tent or do you have a separate tent for sleeping?

I was fine in the tent. It was parked close to the 110 incase the bears arrived. But I was confident of my safety as I'm sure bears can't use zips, so would of been safe inside my zipped up tent

Finished off the rear crossmember/bumper - the holes had corroded a bit so wire wooled, Hammerited then finished with Matt black spray paint. Have to say that I'm rather pleased with the result - looks far better now! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Finally got hold of some Wurth Corrosion Protection Spray. I came across it a year when a mate took his newly acquired rare, mint, low mileage V8 110 into Dunsfold DLR for a check over. They sprayed this stuff over all the bits that you want protecting but don't want mucky brown stuff like Waxoyl or Dinitrol etc plastered everywhere. It is clear and dries as a polish.
I have just used a whole can under the bonnet, interior (doing all the screws and nuts that rust up in no time at all, exterior door hinge screws, unpainted rivet's etc etc! I got my stuff from Performance Motor Care products but it was £16 a can and I'm sure you could get it cheaper elsewhere
