THE word TONG may conjure up visions of China or the Far East- but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Tong is a little village on the outskirts of the Yorkshire city of Bradford. This area boasts some of the best off-road terrain in the area, and is quickly becoming synonymous with JEEP and its off-road activities.

This is where budding off-the-roaders can try out their skills and expertise. The only snag is to qualify for this 'free' day out you must be on Cubbin & North's mailing list. To overcome this little problem all you have to do is to become one of Cubbin & North's customers. They are the Chrysler dealer for Jeep, Neon and Voyager Cars.

Everyone who has ever had the opportunity to join Cubbin & North's fabulous days out has thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Clay pigeon shooting was also on the agenda, adding to the entertainment of the Wrangler and Cherokee Jeeps, which wallowed and squelched through the ever-increasing mud. It's a tribute to Jeep's capabilities that none of the vehicles got stuck.

Ian Cubbin and Paul North host the events from Cubbin & North of New Chester Road, Birkenhead. Phone them on 643-9300 for further details.
