Marmite!! Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It seems whoever shouts loudest gets the next load... but he did have a printed schedule, he'd have an awful lot less problems if he just stuck to it. The problem with the printed schedule is that he doesn't let people know he's coming until the last minute & they can't always be available to off load their MV's so the schedule goes out the window... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Schedule didn't work too well on Monday either did it?? :-D :-D Told the missus I should be home by 17:00 Hrs. Finally got in at 22:30 hrs. :oops: Mid-day pick up turned into a late afternoon one and delivery turned into a late evening one - but in fairness that could not be helped as they had a tyre problem on the low-loaders tractor unit so had to drive the bit from the M3 to Pirbright at <10mph...

sirhc Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Just got back and unloaded, over 12 hours later than expected, but at least it was the right day! Left quite a trail of mud on the couple of miles of lanes between here and the pickup point :whistle: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Burley Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 My Pig is still there! hope that Dave has picked it up today! Seeing as your in Brighton,wouldnt it have been easier for you to drive it back,rather than have it sitting there for all this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Burley Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I had moved the Ferret down to Hadlow on the Sunday afternoon of the show.Its got to have the engine out,so moved it early.I had the rest of the display and 101 and trailer and jeep loaded and off site by 22.30 that night.I spoke to some one who lives there this morning,and she couldnt believe that there was stuff still lying there.She said the Hop Farm is normally a magnet for the pikeys out of Yalding.I do hope the rest of you get your stuff back a o.k.

Enigma Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think it would be a good idea to get every vehicle which needs to be transported by lowloader grouped together so it could be supervised? Not easy I guess but a lot of the vehicles could be moved to a safer spot before the owners go home.? Hasn't Rex or anyone ever proposed this? Think its better than isolated vehicles all over the terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its better than isolated vehicles all over the terrain. They are all grouped together... it's the owners problem if they want to leave them laying all over the place in an open field...

Mark Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Mr Summer's who started this thread has gone a bit quiet, do you think it was a bit of publicity :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Marc is the webmaster of the event who worked his ar5e off this year. He is a good bloke and really enjoyed himself in the mud buying cheap boots and mainlining on coke (the soft-drink not the powder). Military motors were not his cup of tea, but he liked some of them and was a whizz with the cherry picker. I'll try and get him out of bed so we can do a bigger photoshoot with the thing next year - if Rex rents another one. I was surprised to see him on here - but I'd told him all about us and he must have liked the baseball cap I was wearing. Marc spends most of his time working with balloons in sunny locations like Vegas and....Belgium. He may reappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
