    Hey Tumble, Rover Info?

    Just wonderin'

    Don't know much about Rovers but I'm deifnitely interested.
    Kinda funny how people can live in totally different countries and differnet social climate but still wind up with the same basic motivations behind there fun
    You'd prolly like it here, not too terribly differnent than the UK I imagine but a lot more of the big hardwood forrests, hilly and a lot more boggy type mud around to play in Just to the north in Michigan ('bout a half hour drive) is a 4x4 club that has several hundred acres of muddy, boggy woods with plenty of hills to play on. To the west about 2 1/2 hours away is the Indiana Dunes by Lake Michigan, LOTS and LOTS of Sand Dunes to play on
    Oh yeah, we have plenty of Dairy Cows too (not really signifcant but every time I think of the UK I think of Pink Floyds Atom Heart Mother album cover )

    Sorry mate - been away all weekend and not been near a working internet connection.. else I'd have sent it already

    It does sound like fun around where you are too. I love mud! Off to do a bit of course testing on a mate's farm on Saturday - he's just finished bulding a trials course in his lower field. Gotta love 16 tonne Poclains.....

    Sorry, no clue what a Poclain is

    I assume it has to do with earth moving of some sort by the context you used it in

    Hehe RocketmanX, i've seen some of Tumble's driving on video when i met him recently at Zak's house and its a good job we've put him on a small island off the mainland of england. You are most welcome to take him to america and let his cause havoc there

    I'm sure he'd appreciate the cheaper fuel costs and the huge selections of V8 powered 4x4's
