Just a natural... the most serious thing Andy did all weekend, rescuing Chris & Rose's baby, who seemed to rather like the experience!

I had a fantastic time, my off-road wheelchair performed well, the sun shone, everyone was really friendly and chilled out.

Thanks to everyone involved for such a cool weekend. :P

That looked a good weekend, shame I missed it. Still I'm too short on play time at the moment and theres lots to fettle on the bus without trying to break it, though sadly it keeps doing that on its own anyway. :evil:

Next time...

Somebody needs to compile these on a CD for Jenny, maybe Jenny will :)
.. as we will need them anyway for the calendar at full res.

Fettling usually takes place Friday evening, Sat evening and Sunday after playtime (get you home fixes) at these events...

Trying to think of a time when somebody didn't get home, I've been very close a couple of times, ah yes, at least two of us have failed to arrive due to broken engines and SyncroPete failed to get home from Wales, towing a trailer with a Range Rover on it without a rad fan (the syncro that is)... that failed to get home under its own power.

But due to action at an event - from memory - none!

Thats not really enough time to fix the gearbox, change a rear wing, reatach the front wing and maybe, just maybe, get closer to fitting an intereour instead of sleeping on the floor though :lol: . No, I think Crete is the next mission for my van, should just about manage to get everything nice before then - Depart July.
