  1. I spotted this and made a beeline for it, a very rare pice of kit, ex SAS range rover with internal roll cage;
  2. Tony from the plains team turned up so I made him a cup of tea and gave hime a slice of cake. I liked this ferret, it looked original;
  3. Just arrived back home after 5 days at overlord, what can I say? Bloody brilliant!!!!!! I can echo what someone else said, it had a feel of a mini w+p without the yob element. No loud bangs or music through the night, no chinese lanterns goings off and everyone well behaved. The new site is superb, well laid out and nice and flat. All weekend the organisers were popping over making sure everything was ok and asking if we needed anything and asking for suggestions for next year. You really got the feeling that the organisers appriciated you making the effort to attend. We also got a rather nice wine knife as a free gift when we booked in. Uniformed security were on site all weekend and were constantly wandering around keeping an eye on everything=nice touch. Toilets? without doubt, the best toilets I have ever seen at any mv show, plenty of toilets throughout the site and the toilet man was on site all weekend and the toilets in my field were cleaned 3/4 times a day!! Overlord has set the benchmark for toilets at mv show's, IMO. There was also a shower trailer and the showers were spotless all weekend and lovely and hot:-D The food outlets were reasonably priced and the food was very tasty. On sat/sun night there was a live rock band in the beer tent who were pretty good. On friday, we were outside our tent having a cup of tea when all of a sudden alot of the organisers were heading towards the emergency entrance gate, being nosey gits we started watching what was going on:-D One of the organisers was hiding behind my landy directing the other organisers over his 2 way radio, I asked him what was going on and he said nothing, it was just a drill, but the others did not know that!!! When they were all in place he announced over his 2 way radio that it was just a drill and to stand down.:-D We started chatting to him and he said he was the show safetey officer and it was better to find out if there was any problems with thier emergency drills before something happenend for real, very sensible. Some photos; The shower block All set up;
  4. Just finished baking some cakes, going down friday morning.
