Mrs Hardyferret

The more I read the contents of this thread the more confused I am :?

so will someone please explain to me the point of this thread :dunno:

Being female and brought up by my Grandparents and Mother who thought going out side to play was a dangerous activity I did not have the chances of many on here to get muddy or oily. I had to content myself with looking after and riding my imaginary horses.

Once I left school I did that for real and worked with Hunters, breeding stock and show horses. The money was non existent so eventually had to get a 'propper Job' and ended up working in a garage supervising the forcourts. Luckily this was in the days of hot cars and conversions. :-D Every mechanic in the place gave their vehicle some sort of treatment and I met my 1st husband who gave my 105E Ford Anglia ' a bit of a going over' fitted a V6 3 litre engine, Jag back axle, uprated front suspension.....and Wayhay I was off like a scolded cat making all the lads with their Mexicos and RS 2000 eat my dust. :evil:

Then got involved with a motor stunt team - used to have great fun driving a Fairlain 500 Black & White police car up and down the contry to shows., (needles to say by this time my over protective mother had given up and now is unsurprised by anything I do). I remained a little 'off the wall' as my friends put it but always kept my horses. the last being a horse trained to joust with a Geoff Winships Medieval Jousting Show- great out hunting would charge through anything :schocked: .

:roll: Then I met HF................................. Things have got steadily madder from that point on - lots of fishing comps off Chesil Beach, tractors, Scuba diving all round the Dorset coast (not bad for someone who is scared of being in a boat and cant swim very well), a collection of Rover cars - 80, 90, 100 etc the one with the freewheeling gearbox was terrifying. Shooting, ...it goes on till we get to this point of falling into MVs with the first one being a lightweight Landrover about 5 years ago. :-D

Looking back I wouldn't change a thing

We refer to them as the "Taliban Taxi".. ;-)

:-D I like that :-D

After do many helpfull comments from those 'in the know' it looks like I'm in for a change of transport. Not sure how that will look at shows when it turns up as support to whatever himself is driving

Will be sad to sell my little Daihatsu Sportrak as their is nothing wrong with it, it goes anywhere and its cheap to run.................................... but if he wants to spend his money, who am I to deny him the pleasure.

P.S. The offending beast is Pillarbox Red :schocked:

Thanks for that :-D DVD recorder will at the ready.

Thanks to all for the Birthday Wishes - a very good time was had by yours truly :nut:

Photographic evidence will be found posted in the very near future.............................. don't say I didn't warn you.

A bit late but it is heartfelt HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ON HMVF

:clap: :tup: :bow:

Spot on Jack :-D

Just one point that has arisen through discusions of this topic in our household -

So you use your full/real name, and are transparent with all your details. Whoopee little snotty Johny who comes on here to have a nosey round sees - the name etc, list of vehicles and more often than not pretty good info regarding where these vehicles are parked/ stored and then we all tell each other where we are going, and on what dates and times. Basically all Snotty Johny need to know :dunno:

Yours truley

Mr & Mrs Hardyferret

Oh Yes :-D I used to have one of those Reno 4 vans and used to go hunting in it twice a week. Regularly followed the Portman Hounds, and South Dorset on occasion, over all kinds of country - and was always there at the end. They where so capable and cheep to run. :-D

I certainly could not afford a 4 x 4 in those days. :cry:

I have just read through this thread from the beginning :-D LOL

Little did I know what I was starting ;-)

Keep telling Jack that but he says he's got one of these too.... don't count unless you paint it green :whistle:

The cam may not be green but the fuel that goes in the front end is ................... and so it was comes out the back :whistle:

:-D Ashley, Jack & Lawson :-D

I have had a phone call from the lady who handles our Poppy Appeal collecting tin - she was so thrilled she said that the local (Lytchett) area had had the best year ever with a total of £1803.00 and that our tin had totted up to £175.79 :schocked: not bad eh :banana:

:wave: Very Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday Rosemary

I hope you don't get to read this until late in the morning as that will mean you have had a nice lie :sleep: in and maybe breakfast in bed........................ :-D

Have a great day

from

Me & Him

 

I hoped that neither Lawson or Jack didn't really put any of that WD-40 on their Running boards as they tend to be pretty slick enough without any help from silicone!! :shake:

 

Don't worry - the slickest thing there today, beside Jack's sales patter was Jack and Lawsons hair :whistle:

Ohh This looks interesting ........................

Must just go and have a word with himself. :-D

Some one will post some photos of this wont they :dunno: Please :? Pretty Please :-D

Just back and we all had a great time. :-D Collected so much money that the string handle on the collecting tin broke !!!

Started of peacefully with us arriving with the Pig at 8.30 am, very closely followed by Ashley. We 'staked our claim to the parking bays

and waited for the arrival of himself.......Mr HMVF and Lawson.

Then the fun started..................... Lots of interest in the vehicles

And our fine team of collectors where let loose on an unsuspecting public.

Some had an impressive turn of speed........................

But how could the public not succumb to their winning smiles -

Thanks to the generous folks at Wessex Gate Retail Park. We had a great time and raised lots of money for the appeal.

I'm sure Jack will have some more photos to add

Did you mean to knock the garage down or are the breaks on the Jeep not as good as they should be :whistle:

Thanks Lawson. Look forward to seeing you - it's been a long time since Purbeck :-D

Actually that is a good point - Vic has been in training since May?!

 

Jack be positive - we don't need to train we have pure talent on our side

And some brute force of course :whistle:

Hi hf i will be there as well if there is room for me?

 

 

Ok - will be there Mrs HF - now have indicators and brake lights :-D - the boy is a genius :angel:

 

Well done guys :-D any idea what sort of time you will be there - so we can have the space ready for you ?

PS. Jack can you bring your collecting tin too please. I will have tee and coffee kit in the back of the pig :-D :cofee:

:whistle: Tynham is such a great place to visit on any day.

 

On second thoughts - Tynham is a great place to visit on any day that the ranges are open and they are not live firing :schocked:

All 50s,30s and side arms must be left by the door.

:evil: You realy know how to take the fun out of an evening don't you................

Your wish is my command - :-D

I've got to go now, havn't I :whistle: Tynham is such a great place to visit on any day.

Oh ..........

Now you are just being silly :roll:

HF's..........I intend to be there. Do we have enough room??

 

I have had a chat with the manager and security - we are welcome to park whatever there but we have to fight off the normal (I use this word loosely) customers for the best parking. So me and himself are going to be there before the store opens at 9am and take up as much room as we can so hopefully we can just do a bit of budging up when you arrive.

Also have just been told that Tynham church will be holding a remembrance day service at 3pm on Sunday. They have a full church, band, loads of Joe public, the works. If the weather is nice on Sunday we could maybe mosey on down there after lunch ?

There is only 2 services a year held at Tynham church - remembrance day and a service some time in August.
