Meet the trialers: Land Rover Defender fans get down and dirty

2015-02-26
we're here today at on trial with some of my grounds club just kind of flying around the Madden really enjoying ourselves a lot of people go to pay and play sites where you just drive around the site but then you get bored because you're always doing the same circuit and you never really push yourself this way there's a means to an end that there's actually sort of something at the end of it and you're sort of competing against other people and seeing what other people couldn't do on the same bit of ground and maybe it's a bear ground that you maybe not would want to drive otherwise I think it's kind of a thing which kind of gets under your skin there a good boat car as well but you can also build a special car like this and just get out there in a bit of fun it's a it's a good budget motorsport my parents got me into it from about the age of two so I've been coming to events for 20 years now I think part of it's the noise part of this culture we're all so I try to be very friendly group it's a good laugh there's a lot of decent people about lot of friends there really good crowd anyone to help you out if you have a problem everybody would be around the car trying to help you out with it this is my beauty this is a present for years game we've kind of rebuilt it and done a few modifications to it here and there I say that's definitely the ceiling mechanic and I'm very much a spanner monkey has to slowly learn still learning yeah I've got this one which is we're doing a time file today but I've also got another one for doing ordinary trials because they're so long-lasting you get you do get attached to if you've had one for a long time you do get attached to it a lot of people grow up with them there's a lot of them out there everybody sees them they're just a little bit different to everything else the iconic British vehicle and everybody's in it for different reasons some people want to modify them and put lots of blingy bits on and other people just like the off-roading some people never take them off road so it's it's different for everything and they're so adaptable everything's bolt on and you can just so easily change them into what you want it to be started a long time ago when I was in the ta you still see Drive a lot of Land Rovers for that and then when I left the TA something was missing and so that's what led into it for me just adventure I think you're not really limited only by your own imagination it's just the way they're built they're just so sturdy and bomb-proof and they're just so strong underneath you can't break them it's gonna be a bit of a device to be interesting to see what they replace it with whether they can keep the icon going but it's gonna be a long time before you actually see the fenders disappear I think because they're so repairable you just very rarely scrap one no matter what you do to it you can always find enough bits to put it back on the road relatively cheaply as well you
