Because when this was looked at as part of a world trial planning in the UK, the council wanted £30k to close the required road!

It's pretty much as Dabster describes it. I'm sure it looks very nice in winter covered in snow, but off season it's a bit of a 60's concrete jungle. Very easy to get around. Everything is set around the lower ski slopes so nothing strenuous to walk. An alternative might be the Trial des Nations the weekend after at La Chatre. Still in France, but in the middle so not so far to drive. Ladies World Champ on Friday, Ladies TdN on Saturday and Men's TdN on Sunday. Atmosphere is good at the TdN as the only ones who really take it seriously are the Spaniards so there's good banter and it's more relaxed.

The site was offline for a while for upgrade and changes. I see since it's come back (last week I think) the link for new customers to learn more about ordering parts isn't working. I'll let them know. I seem to recall from the old site you had to go to "Downloads" at the top of the page and download the relevant parts diagram for your model and that would help in determining what you needed to order. I can't be 100% sure on that though, but I *think* that's how it worked.

Dabster is right. Charly's website is not an official site, but his own personal website. Leaving aside some of the complete bollocks that's been posted in this topic, there just isn't the money in Trials to fund all-singing, all-dancing live everything and even if there were, some of the locations we get to just couldn't support the communications infrastructure required.

They said no price yet but will be 15-20% cheaper than current models

Now been pushed back to 7:30 here. Expect photos around 6:45

6.30pm local time tonight. I should have photos on TC circa 6pm your time.

Going to break my own no selling rules here, but it's my site so I have one of those Turnigy meters that I bought to monitor output/load from a 12v solar panel, but the solar controller does all that so I have no need of it. Brand new, never been used. £15 + £2 P&P. If anybody's thinking of buying one of these, good opportunity to save a few quid. PM me if interested. First come, first served.

For those who don't regularly check the front page, there's a new Rappers Column up. Comments can be added to that either not logged in or will use your TC forum details if logged in.

Anybody responding to this, please do so via personal message. Do not post personal contact details on the forums. Ta

Great soundtrack. Cash rocks.

Or Thierry Michaud in a Kampfgruppen SS uniform throwing bikes at any rider who looked like they were enjoying themselves

Launched at Italian world round in two weeks time. If my buggered knee behaves itself I'll be there and even if it doesn't I'll still plan on being there as my flights are booked with Ryans****e and I'm buggered if that Irish **** is getting my money without me getting anything in return

Okay, who set him off again?

http://www.offroadmart.com/ I deliberately chose a package that could handle multi countries and multi currencies.

I presume you mean the anti-spammer CAPTCHA code. Just tested it and worked first time. No other reports of problems either.

Be careful what you say here. He is quite positive about no stop in the latest news article. You'll no doubt have him down as Trials answer to Joseph Mengele in light of this.

Not been a need to. These forums are the best I've ever seen in terms of people not fighting with each other. I never had anything personal against Lane either and he certainly stirred things up. His removal was caused after numerous requests.

His bike type is missing from the Andorra results on both days: but even more unusual is there is no mention of him at all in the Ossa Andorra Press Release I wasn't in Andorra because of this ongoing problem with my f****** knee and it's unlikely I'll make Spain this weekend or I'd do some digging. Something very strange going on...
