News from the show-ground today

Lots of vehicles arrived today, apparently there is around 100 in place already. Hubby and my dad have been busy helping get things sorted. Everything has gone smoothly (apart from The cubed one trying to start his petrol genny using diesel :wow:)

All ready for the first day open to public tomorrow. I'm nearly all packed and organised for zooming up there after work! After I have sorted a jubilee party for 40 nursery children in the afternoon that is!! Currently painting my nails red, white and blue!!!!!!!!!!

For those who are coming, hope to bump into at some point :-)

Huge congratulations from the cubes :kiss::kiss::kiss:

Well after a long journey home from work due to road closures and overturned lorries (hopefully the driver is ok) the cubed one has packed and just pulled away and is heading for the show ground!!! My dad (rosiesdad) is following behind. So I'm all alone here now :cry:, I still have to work till the end of the week.

hmmm time to open a bottle of charddy I recon!!!!!!!!! :-D

The cubed one is up there now helping to set out props etc, it's soooo hot and stuffy here now I recon a storm is brewing, hopefully it will blow over us and land the other side of the hill which often happens!!!

Not sure if I'm going to make it up there between now and Friday, have children's after school clubs and staff meetings to attend!!! Why does work always get in the way of fun?!

Is it too late to write in? Just got a reprieve from work so can make it now if possible?

Of course it's not, if poss e mail Trevor (visit http://www.solentoverlord.co.uk) or pm me your details and details of vehicles and I will pass them on to him when I see him in the week.

So no good trying to impress Rosie with the Lamborgini then? :-D

Haha! Lamborghini are lovely cars, this is an axel envy in joke with myself and G506!!!! He has a Chevy and we of course have the far superior 3 axled GMC!!!!!!!

Its nearly here peeps!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to write lists of what to bring!! Lets keep fingers crossed that the weather stays dry for us.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones :-)

The last one.

I'm trying to look sophisticated!!!!!!

Has anyone ever tried towing a Ben Hur trailer (with it's original lunette ring) with a NATO hook as fitted to Land Rovers, etc?

 

I'm sure I've heard there is a slight difference, and I've never needed to try it, but I may need to tow a Ben Hur soon just for one short journey.

You need a mans truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
