a rival group of Walts

New to Discovery.... 'Walt Wars'

Rival clans of by-lane vigilantes compete to out-officiate each other with the right to boss around members of the public at stake.

This week on Walt Wars:

Geoff gets his Discovery 300tdi stuck in a puddle, will his winch be enough to pull him to safety before the weekly Park Run joggers need to cross the B2109?
Wayne tries, and fails, to convince Darren that a Frontera can be just as good off-road as a Discovery 300tdi.
Arthur and Bob are deployed at the Bovey Tracey Winter Fete Overflow Car Park and have to put their Discovery 300tdi to the test when an attendee looks like they might get their Vauxhall Astra stuck on the cattle grid... will they be able to respond in time?
And later in the show, Doreen from the Mobile Command Unit has to pull out all the stops when the CB Radio in Paul's Discovery 300tdi stops working - how will she get hold of him to let him know that there are 2 plasters missing from the first aid box?

^ Sounds like cracking idea for a series but as with such shows on Discovery, who would sponsor it? 'Walt Wars, brought to you in association with..........?' Yaesu radios? BF Goodrich? B&M bargains?

You'd pay for cones?

We've just skipped a couple of hundred cones after getting new ones.

Have you?

[DanielSan]

I have a belief that there's not enough warehouse storage for all the cones in this country, that's why a lot get stored on the motorway for months on end, and even more are stored there at night in some places depending on where they may actually be needed the next day.

However, there's now a problem, because the access to the print shop is flooded meaning that Geoff has to pickup the print shop owner in his Discovery 300tdi in order that the printer can make the new sticker for Geoff's Discovery 300tdi telling everyone he is now Acting Deputy Vice-Chairman's Assistant.

I also feel I better come clean about my former life... until a year ago, this was my Discovery 300tdi.

Never did any volunteering or 4x4 Response stuff, did get very muddy a few times though

[Don1]

Suddenly it all becomes clear....

Amber lights and side tape!

Yep, there would have been thousands up and down the country getting binned after we replaced them with new ones.

Now in new extra weak formula! Our weakest ever lemon drink has only ever seen a picture of a lemon drawn by a 5 year old who was stood at the other side of the room!

This has the hall marks of an epic docu-drama

Next week on Walt Wars, disaster as a local brides vintage Rolls Royce breaks down on the way to the church, can Dennis find his best high-vis, his non egg stained shirt and get his Land Rover washed before she is late and Geoff has to get creative to warn other motorists of a serious hazard when in a caravans water tank bursts in a layby on the A14, what will he come up with.

Find the answers to this and more on next week’s Walt Wars.

[Shakermaker]

Walt Wars will be on Discovery perhaps, which just means that Channel 5 will make their own low-rent version of it and call it Hi-Vis Heroes.

This will focus on an elite team, not all of whom will be able to utilise a 20 year old Land Rover Discovery 300tdi but who can afford to put a hi-vis jacket on the parcel shelf of their old Peugeot 306 or over the passenger seat in their Mondeo to try and make people think twice about driving stupidly in front of them.

Even without advanced communication solutions such as CB radios, these people, with a hierarchy based on the colour of their hi-vis at any event and a ready supply of clipboards, will know exactly how far it is, in paces, between the Mobile Command Post gazebo and the Beer Tent at any fete, carnival, festival, charity event or sports day.
