Hi guys.

We have finally after a couple of years had the spicy cough - Rona hit the walls of Essential Offroad

Therefore we are ( at this stage ) running a skeleton crew

We have a massive amount of work to get through so we will unfortunately have to shut the gates to the general public for a few days.

We will try to answer the phone calls as we can.

Thanks for your patience
