The only other option I think will be to meet up somewhere like Basvegas and just mooch about and look for a suitable area amongst the industrial estates.
Nah dude.. all to rough around here.. I live in the country and its all designed for TRACTEEEERRRs dont ya know

Oh well, looks like we all meet up somewhere like Basvegas and just mooch about and look for a suitable area amongst the industrial estates. Unless someone has a better idea.

Lakeside multi-storey is ideal, but I know people have been moved on by security there before.

basildon multistory used to be good. (the old one opposite the old bill station)

flat as you like and no cars up there on a sunday morning

there is a separate barrier up there that you can "assist" open

What do you guys think of this???

Schumacher Havoc, 2wd stunt truck, 50mph + 4.6 engine!!

Loads on the interweb about it, heres a video......

YouTube - Schumacher Havoc Ultra Bashing=

I'm liking the look of it, supossed to be pretty tough and spares are easy to get straight from Schumacher.

I'd rather have a 2wd than 4wd as they seem more fun and thats what I'm looking for, not the fastest or best handling (although they are supossed to be excellent at handling). The trucks are more my thing, got some woods up the top of my parents road that are ideal for them

from what i have been told mate and what i have seen

The only problem i know about them is people have been having problems getting spares.....i vertually live at heaths rc in hadliegh and have seen customers waiting over a week or so for parts. not heaths fault.

Sounds like a nice " Central " Location for us all


Those attending the Fund raiser on Sun , Asda's car park is adjacent to Club woodham

Be rude not to put the car in the boot

the more the merrier mate.

we are trying to get "sort of" sensible people, as we do play in public areas, and need to respect, dog walkers, joggers, old gits etc...

but up on the top floor of an empty carpark "anything goes!!!"

come along to the next bash when its posted up. (probably next week one evening in basildon)
