sorry to hear about your dad, families are often at their worst at these sad times unfortunatly, hold on in there and things have a way of working themselves out Berni

we're all packed too, leaving home 8.30pm meeting dotty dodge & 2 others at membury at 11pm then taking a steady drive through the night with a couple of coffee stops. berni

i can't wait to get to beltring, jimmys all packed apart from fresh food supplies. we'll be leaving home 8pm on friday :yay: berni

just spat my dinner out, that is just so funny berni

outrageous :schocked: i think i would cry if it was my baby, here is a get well wish jack & i must say your posts seemed rather more calmer than they could have been, berni

hi lawson, excellant choice of vehicle i must say, not that i'm biased of course. nor do i know the whereabouts of the dancing girls :yay:either but i'm sure jack will enlighten you. Berni

:rofl: :rofl: that made i laugh berni

hand bags :? wrong type of lady i'm afraid, thats what pockets were invented for. i do like the idea of dancing men though. only thing is, which uniform would they wear :-D ( or not wear as the case may be) berni

hi there Zoe another girl who prefers green machines to high heels & nail varnish is always a welcome addition. Berni

hi green jacket, welcome to the site, its good to have another MW owner on here. My other half Russ has got one ( i've got a GMC) the more the merrier & please feel free to post little hints & tips as I'm sure we can always learn more . Berni

we didn't get home till 11.45 last night & i am so tired. it was real good & i enjoyed it , even in the rain. will say more when i wake up proper but we had loads of compliments about what a fantastic time peole had had & also how rocking the band was on saturday night. they kept the beer tent overflowing till closing time. berni

what a lovely story, pity i haven't got any days holiday left as it would be good to sit & wait at Duxford for her to land. history in the making, Berni

you can also use the MVT to get a reduced rate on the ferry & then book into your own campsite, we stay just outside bayeux in the chateau de martragney http://www.chateau-martragny.com/anglais/index.asp there was loads of MV's stay there for the 60th & from all different parts of the country so it was good meeting new people & sharing a beer after a busy day. berni

russ & myself will be there wednesday helping with the set up, popping home & then back up to stay thursday lunch time my Jimmy reg is OFF 716, so if you see it parked up near a very tidy half track please say hi, if i am sleeping feel free to wake me up ( i can sleep loads so don't feel bad about waking me) otherwise i will be the one dancing the night away with copious amounts of alcohol in my system( hopefully). berni

:yay: :yay: the Ali G of jeeps Berni

:whistle: that didn't quite appear as pure as i meant it :whistle: i have ditched the blonde & am now a brunette degsy so i don't quailify anymore. i think Russ may have something to say on that though, mind you he might also want a bit of piece :-D Berni

as you can probably tell we all had a few tears but also a few laughs. i think everyone under the age of 20 needs to spend time with the over 60's. Berni

they also collected a dingo from our treasurer ( george rilon) from bisley. the Army were also supposed to collect a saracen from outside the Soldiers of Gloucester museum & drop it off at the TA centre. between us & Severnside we are trying to get it up & running ready to bring to shows and it needs a new home in order to get her sorted. we waited for 3 hours but sadly they got lost so will be doing the move on the way back either wednesday or thursday. i missed out on my lie in this morning & because i have to be at East Midlands Airport for a meeting on wednesday , that will be the day they choose. thats life though Berni

if you get itv/htv west there should be a piece on it tonight about our trip. we have been in our local paper,the gloucester citizen,the bristol evening post & the western daily press, i now know what it feels like to be famous, we had an itv presenter, a camera man, a reporter & photographer from each of the paper named above, all taking photos etc all day every day. they were all really sweet actually & we got chatting a fair bit ( as those who know me can testify to )none of them had been over to Normandy before & were surprised at how emotinal it made them feel. any way i will do a full report later but we will be on the news at 1.50 & also in tonights main news . Berni

we also take a water boiler but the gas variety, the pool also helps keep the beers cold :-D berni

oh enigma, you have just bought a little tear to my eye. i to had a renault van like yours untill it died a week ago friday & had to go to the scrapyard in the sky :died:, it was like an extension of my being. why do we get so attached to them :-( berni
