Another TOR show finished, the first show for 2010 and what a show it was. Just 6 hours of trading time, but
bursting with enthusiastic visitors from all over Europe as far away as Russia. The Gigglepin stand was busy from the word go and had a constant flow or customers & friends all day. Our new DVD releases went like hotcakes and we sold out of 3 new titles from Mud Rhino!! The new GP Motor fixing bolts launched at the show also sold out! Lots of interest in our new range of products, including our in line twin motor conversions from Flamin Fabrications. Of Course the main focus of the stand was the new Gigglepin challenge truck from D&G tuning, you’ll be able to see this take shape over the next few months! Our next scheduled show will be the LRO Show @ Billing from 16th - 18th July. See you there???

Gigglepin 4×4 have been pleased to host Southeast 4×4 response as their training officer Bren Hill carries out responder assessments.
Southeast 4×4 response are a volunteer organization that help out various agencies, organizations and individuals in times of crisis.
The Southeast 4×4 response were hero’s during this year’s snowy weather using their own time and vehicles to help get doctors, nurses and patients to and fro the hospital in terrible conditions.
As a Volunteer organization they do not get paid for their time and it is only their good will that keeps them hard at it.
 
Gigglepin 4×4 is only happy to help and have offered off-road training for their members to try to help this non funded organization.
Jim Marsden of Gigglepin 4×4 says “Brendon Hill approached us during the snowy weather and showed us what these guys get up to and how they really do help the community. He then explained that many of the members were short on some practical basics and asked if we could help. We came up with a plan to train the members in small groups and hope to commence this training just as soon as is possibleâ€
