I put a lot of links about your competitions on this forum and your 4x4 projects, like an exemple for us :)

You're a fantastic forum, and in France it's time to make similar projects because here offroad conditions are very bad, Extreme Offroad in France isn't realy developped because 4x4 drivers can drive on Green Lanes, Morocco isn't so far and people here like travel with family and friends on stock 4x4 ....

Please, continue to dream us in France with your machines and trails :)

Thanks for sharing this. It's always nice to see what kind of off road driving people do in other countries.

Nice to hear about Pirate4x4 France Forum.

Someone from your forum contacted me and asked me to place your forum to link list in our own offroad site.

Also someone from your forum placed my project(http://www.alanmiehet.com/?id=56) as a link to your forum and I saw some comments/questions in there. I tried to register to the forum to give some answers, but was not able to do that, maybe I didn't understand the registration form right.

Actually your forum is the main reason why I decited to translate the project to english.

I like the idea in that Rockwell Buggy very much. I would propably have build my car with Rockwells, but they were not awailable in Finland. I can see that the german guy was not restricted by trial rules when he was building that. Tubing looks a lot like the buggies in the US.

Yes i don't see it was so difficult to register ... I suscrbie in the beginng (2007) it was more easy ^^ ....

It's the problem of Spamming, we must put a lot of options and it's very difficult to register :(

Always nice too see something unique built in Europe like this Rockwell based Buggy!!

Sure, it could be lower, but its difficult to build low and short in combination with the Rockwell toploaders.

Well done guys!
