the only advice i would give is get someone else to do it for you :whistle:

 

 

 

But that means spending money :whistle: :whistle:

 

luckily the wife has muscle from training down the gym

 

Ashley

 

And just to think Sue was ribbing me 9nicely) last night at the Mvt meet :pfrt:

Ashley

and you must have really dirty overalls and oily hands from working on your machine.

 

Also do not forget the "Black sooty bowler hat and red and white polka dot neckerchief" :-D

Hi Jack,

i can not see the `submit your article button` am i doing something wrong...

Ashley

Hello everybody,

 

Well I guess it has been stacked against me. Really wanted to go this year. If the school holidays didn't clash with the show I would be there now with my boy and the 432. but he didn't finish school till yesterday and as we can't spare any extra time off work to look after him, as they have so many holidays though out the year. Does anybody have the same problem???

Then yesterday the heavens open, and instead of a 432 I should have invested in a boat, at least I could have got to the house. I was all geared up to go along to W&P this weekend then somebody at work came back in from road test in the afternoon and said the main road was flooded, and I knew it didn't sound good, got home to find the water just creeping in the house. For the next 3 hours spent digging trenches to get the water away, but wasn't enough, my nice new wood flooring that I put down last week, has all got to come back up. And my friend in Tewkesbury, she couldn't get home till this morning to find over a foot inside her house. Went over there and theres nothing you can do, it all ruined downstairs, water slowly going, just got wait for the looters to wreck it now.

 

W&P maybe next year (if they move it a week)

 

Dougy

 

Bad luck dude hope all is sorting it self out now.

Ashley

Now I like the sound of that Tone, I am up for that - it was quite a big one if I remember rightly - that said, I dare say that he has it all chromed up by now.

 

Not chromed up yet..... just trying to find the last part a chrome bucket or tilley lamp for the rear tow hook :-D

Ashley

Remember one vital thing Jack............ if theres something,place of intrest etc you can`t fit in this visit theres always a return visit he folowing year.

I believe your biggest problem will what to leave out event.

JMHO

Ashley

Then you`ll definitely end in Monkey world, exposing flesh in this part of the world !!! :pfrt:

 

Ashley

The Dorset Boys will have Hardyferret on the team :-D - at the last match each time it was his 'go' the guys doing the putting up took cover behind a barricade of tables!!!! :shake:

 

No Probs that is Dave`s task (putting up) and he was pretty good at `lane dodging` last year must be the coach driver in him :whistle: :whistle:

 

Ashley

 

 

Hope all is OK, Ashley............

 

Cheers Lee Endfield and Mrs HF,

its just that me Gran is in hospital after a fall (she is 99 on Friday) and her closest relatives were away at the weekend so i had to make a visit, she is well and can`t wait to get back to her home but i can not see the hospital letting her return to live alone for some time, if ever.

It is an issue she will not accept and grills the doctor about her release from hospital daily !

Ashley

Sorry all,

had to bow out due to family issues, sorry to have let you down.

Ashley

Some great pic's there, thanks for posting.

 

I second that ,thanks abn deuce

Ashley

Ashley,

 

That would be Jean Ziger, from Luxembourg with his Demag. In fact last year he did not bring the Demag, but I am certain he did not display this year.

 

Cheers for that Richard.

One other thing struck me this year, was that in the ginger gammon bar in the evenings there were very few uniform`s in attendance during the evenings unless they all wore camo gear and the cola i was supping :whistle: :whistle: was Xtra strong

Hi,

this year though the vehicle fields had increased in size ,there seem to be quite a few of the old regulars missing from the show, or maybe because a lot people were not in thier usual places made finding them harder i.e the Famo, to name one and usually opposite him a Belgian (?) chap with a grey h/track.

just my views.

Ashley

Disappointment :cry:/ good news for some

looks like i may not be able to arrive until Sunday A.M, as the wife has agreed to work a night shift on the Saturday night (wish she would learn to navigate a calender !!! )

Take a day trip to France and this is what happens when your back is turned :cry:

Now lets see if Jack can behave on the evening run !

Ashley

Im sleeping in the caravan with Ash next year :whistle:

Come to think of it, scrap the distance trophy and go for the most people in a caravan trophy :rofl:

Tony

 

 

Jack,

has asked me to bring a tent for next year to eavesdrop on Vics stratagy and plans for the return skittles match, as he intends not to be second to no one :evil: :evil:

Ashley

Hi,

though not British..... in R. Cowdery all American wonder Vol 2 there are drawings and two (poor quality) photos of american camo`ed jeeps in a MM style. dated Oct. 1942 which shows black applied camo on either an olve drab or sand base.

Ashley

Ashley
