The opportunity to puncture a rubber are directly proportional to atmospheric conditions and potential discomfort. Do not ever hole on a flat road or near a tire.
In this case torrential rain, curve, drop, shiny shoes and pants "classic" space between the gum from the wall switch and 50 cm with a torrent of rain that crosses the car blast and the other side.
But I have improved my personal record: rubber exchange in dire conditions: 7 minutes. Time to pull the jack from his fucking slot: 15 minutes.
Jeeper's Grand National
October 27, 2008
Article written by Rick in: 4x4, General Rick's World, Entertainment, Sports, 1 comment The Italian gathering of Jeep enthusiasts was held in the spring because of a shortage of entries to the event. This is also a sign of the crisis we are experiencing and (in general) than through the world of 4 x 4 because of a series of restrictions, prejudices, demonization and especially costs related to the organization of events of national importance increasingly high. (ah, these are not Suv, it is clear).
Despite the postponement, a "hard core" of fans (and I was among them) who had already booked and organized the movement, it is found to make a smaller version of the route, starting from Gambasca, unfolds on the steps covered interesting autumn leaves.
The mountain paths beaten and entertaining, sometimes very close to the Rubicon, were covered by a caravan of 18 Jeep made up crews personcine a way, respectful of the natural and joy to test and, of course, sfoggiare its giocattolone with other fans. So must be the off-road: integrated, sincere and funny.
With caravans such risk is that of "code" in the high mountains. When one of the ways that faces can not climb or a technical problem, creating the congestion that force them to stop waiting in precarious positions and to live a truly stress tail "identical to the one that you live in cities but more inconvenient, unpleasant and paradoxical.
That irritating paradox leads me to prefer the exits in the mountains with small groups of a few friends up to four machines, so you can enjoy the pleasure without the unnecessary stress that we are adding to that drive a thing of two tonnes on a unprotected steep path down and bottom of stones, rocks and soil ..
With far-sighted choice (but at the expense of comfort) I have taken part in the gitarella "with the old and glorious Cj7, perhaps more suited to narrow passages of the area. This time I have not broken anything, but after sixteen hours to drive the Jeep confortevole least possible fatigue me and put ko, sleeping, I dreamed chestnuts, soil and shock.

I report to all fans of the Jeep brand that in the weekend of October 24-26, in Cuneo, will kick off the event - national meeting "9th Grand National", organized by Jeeper's Generation. "
All Jeep owners of both historic and contemporary will have the opportunity to meet and measured about routes with different levels of difficulty. Ample room for convivial moments (and food ..), lunch and dinner gala and then they all cried together by calculating the damage to their means.
L 'last year the event was really superb and very funny (the gallery) and, although I have to make the jump fatalities this year I will do everything possible to be present at least one of the three days of the organization.
Roadbook, tripmaster satellite, modified engines, body lift extreme .. The assembly is made partly from Jeep with more than 20 or 30 years but nothing from him to see if not reading the books of these off-road ..

Broken Sunday (mud bath)

Article written by Rick in: 4x4, Politics, Cazzeggi, General Rick's World, Sports, Tech, 12 comments Trial Route 4 x 4 and group omaccioni great and big that you enjoy as children in the mud with their cars.
A "classic" of this kind of evidence is the "mud bath", namely a pit filled artificial waterway, which provides a steep descent and a steep exit. Get out without the aid of a winch is superattrezzati honor of a few jeeps, but to try and muddy as the real pig is exhilarating experience and must be done.
There is an unwritten rule that says that if one thing you all right the first time you never have a second rifarla the same day.
I do not rule this as I followed, so the second tub of mud an old bumper hidden in the quicksand I was literally uprooted a semiaxis and truncated the brake pipe (and maybe bent a shock).
See my "old" azzoppata in this way makes me a pain in my heart and now expect the response of the surgeon who will assess the extent of the damage after which, of course, will have cleared for good from quintal of mud that covers ..

The men you see in the picture are a part of the shipment fuoristradistica / mountaineering that on 15 August 2008 have ventured exploration of the bunker "Punta Marta." Several kilometers in 4 x 4 and a lot 'walk in the midst of beautiful scenery to achieve the historic bunker with the intention to take pictures and have lunch bag.
What a pity that everything has been questioned by some huge clouds threatening who surprised the fearless good step while returning to the media. A hailstorm epochal took the explorers of August of a downward Calippo sweat and literally filled one of two means (for the occasion with the half-concierge in canvas tops and without) a thick layer of fresh ice.
On the same half the fearless you see in the picture, plus myself, have faced a return home, drenched with icy pants, with hail that boost their face, intoning loudly song repertoire of classic alpine.
Experience absolutely be repeated.

Tour on the border between Italy, France and Piedmont on steps and mule tracks to over 2,000 meters, between gorges, paths, stony and breathtaking landscapes. In fuoristradistico the path was rather "peaceful", so we decided to make a good po 'di pepe the day with a seven-hour journey with the Cj7 discovered and the windshield lowered. The adventure became from that moment worthy of note because in addressing caravan sterrati polverosissimi under the burning sun of August with glasses, singlet and bandanas on the face made me feel somewhat 'Indiana Jones.
I am not so dirty since the first primary.

Jeep Cj7 (1986) in its ideal environment
A few hours with the "old lady" for climbing old military roads, through woods and pleasing landscapes. Alone, with the windshield killed el'aria fresh undergrowth on my smiling face.

I will do it more often because lonely ride this Sunday had the effect of re-synchronize my mental clock rhythms on more rhythmically more quiet.

Sunday passed a pleasant Limonetto runs in the Reserve Bianca, as I have ever seen in winter submerged by snow. For once away from the clamor of beaches and even a maglioncino him because of the mountain that despite the timing, was at times quite sharp.
Fa effect along the uphill slopes that normally during the winter are in reverse and wearing ski .. This pazzesca Liguria I was now accustomed to abrupt changes in landscape and the fact that in half an hour you can spend dall'odore of sunscreen to that of cows grazing in a mountain pasture.
I had the pleasure of discovering a hotel restaurant truly unique. Artisanal cheeses, kitchen top-level mineral water produced .. In short, a delightful little corner in the mountains with a landlord, Walter, very affable and friendly.
The refuge is called Arrucador, and visiting the official website you can get an idea of the passion and attention to detail that the owners have put in the project.
Another positive aspect of the tour was to see all off-road enthusiasts, paragliding and horses populate a landscape that already has had its incredible.
