Off Road Adventure!

[RawTV]

Raw TV are developing a new series for the Discovery Channel which will follow an international off-road 4x4 adventure across extreme environments. We are looking for a group of passionate 4x4 experts who have impressive driving and engineering skills and are willing to be filmed by us as they drive the toughest terrains on the planet.

Are you an off-road fanatic who could successfully drive the world’s toughest environments? Do you and a group of expert mates have a long running extreme off-road rivalry? Do you have a custom 4x4 motor that can’t be matched across deserts, swamps and mountains? Then we want to hear from you.

Raw TV are the makers of documentary series for all major international broadcasters, like the BBC, Channel 4 and National Geographic. We also make the hit Discovery UK motoring series’ Bangla Bangers and Chop Shop.

I directed Claire to 4x4 Response as it potentially not only provides a contact with the regional teams but also any local and national 4x4 clubs responders are members of. I'm sure Claire would be happy if members reposted here proposals above to other 4x4 forums to widen the search for the adventurous amogst the 4x4 community, I'm guessing that should potentially reach many, many thousands of like minded mud pluggers...! I also suggested Claire took a little time find out about the wrk of 4x4 Response across the UK, you never know it may give here an idea or two for another program!!!!

Would also be good to here if anyone we know takes Claire up on the offer.....Had I not been so old and decrepid I'd have been more than a little interested....

[dave-freeman]

So where did this appear from Nigel?

[Darmain]

I'd take part but I drive a Freelander. Show it that kind of terrain and it would breakdown immediately. Put it in some water, and its a well know fact that the doors fall off. :(

[nigel leyland]

Spotted here post on another forum and just thought it may be worth directing Claire here.....obvious reasons....

[Russ laye]

Thanks for that, a cheeky little email has been sent.

[nigel leyland]

Hope it pans out Russ.

[Russ laye]

[jamie.read]

Lol, I`m sure the Jeep will be fine :D

[Patrick Molloy]

I think the "Discovery channel" might be a bit of a surprise to landy owners lol

[Grizzly]

I tried watching the Discovery Channel once but it was broken!


















Half expected to see it being towed behind a Series Landy hey Nigel!

;)

[nigel leyland]

Say what you like about Disco's Grizz, but they do have good handbrakes....;)

[Russ laye]

Oh I get it now........Discovery channel

Discovery as in the LR thingy

ha ha

hahaha


nurse new ribs please


:):):):


:rolleyes:

[Grizzly]

Say what you like about Disco's Grizz, but they do have good handbrakes....;)

They also have good engines that can be ripped out and fitted to Series Land Rovers like mine so that it has more power now for pulling your Disco Nigel the next time it breaks when we're out together!

;) :rolleyes: :p

[nigel leyland]

Just one little itty bitty problem I foresee there....it was one of those more powerfull engines that broke down.....maybe I should put the petrol 2.25 in the Disco then I can tow you back to camp!!!!!LOL

[jamie.read]

Seriously though, I intend to replace the D2 with a 110 csw or a Series 3, I`ve had so many technical faults with the the disco. I want something I can fix with a hammer, spit and chewing gum if a problem crops up.

My boss has been in contact with the people to do with this event. Here's hoping:rolleyes:

[cnapier826]

I've seen this bunch of bodgers! "Bangla Bangers and Chop Shop."
I wouldn't let them empty an ashtray!

[2571magil]

It is a go a head for us. It comprises of a few challenges:- 1) Most northerly part of Canada to the most southerly part of south America. 2) London to Cape town in 8 days. 3)London to Singapore. 4) Circumnavigate the Arctic circle.

We've got some sponsors for the events so should do well with a bit more practice.:)

[Patrick Molloy]

"Bodgers!" Thats not right. their website is worth a visit if you don't know them: http://rawtelevision.co.uk/
Trevor - if you get to go on one of these trips it would be great if you kept us posted of your travels :-)
good luck!

[2571magil]

No problems with that. I'll post Daley updates when it kicks off as long as I have signal on my phone.

Glad I spotted it and sent Claire here now....hope you have a great time and keep us informed:D

[Grizzly]

Been speaking to a friend of mine today who used to run a 4x4 hire place in Zambia and he reckons that the second challenge will be a killer.

Good luck with it.
