Shitefest 2013 including Autoshite OVROAD Mongfest 13-15 September

[gdhaydock]

Setting off very shortly, see you all later on ....

[trigger]

Still gutted to be missing this so make sure we're updated with lots of photos of the weekends antics!

[philibusmo]

I will be setting off shortly. Just finishing packing and will be off to get a crate of beers before heading off. I should see you all at about 4, assuming there's no Frontera based issues. If it does break I will get it back home with the AA and try again with another of my fleet.

MrsR has pronounced, and I'm afraid it's negative.  I don't want to be this far from home without her, or at least without leaving her in supportive hands, so I'll be with you in spirit only.  A virtual version of me, if you like.  Even the offer of a lovely* pub lunch wasn't enough temptation.  Sorry chaps; have a great day!

[CreepingJesus]

Will be down tomorrow, just for the day. 'Twas I who mentioned the BFO tent, but I won't be bringing it anyway, 'cos it's fooked.

Silly question- any stone circles, standing stones etc., nearby? Needed for photography project!

[hairnet]

This cold I have has knocked me on my arse a bit, I nearly died hauling this lot out of the shed, but that's not going to stop me attending tomorrow.  However, it will stop me baking that cake I threatened because reasons.

 

In the haul I've got parts for BMW 518, Citroen BX, Austin, Daimler, VW Polo, Fiat, Hillman and a number of random small Lucas components and other bits and pieces that are hopefully of use to people.  There's about four or five boxes of stuff, I'm hoping to go back with considerably less.

[dollywobbler]

Right. Time to leave!

ARSE BISCUITS! Discovery has just failed rather spectacularly. Got all of three miles into the journey when there was a big bang, a rather horrible clatter and then one of the wheels (nearside front I think, possibly rear) locked up. Reversed a bit and it started rolling again, so I've just limped back home at 20mph. Will now have to load the Golf and miss out on OVROADNUSS. Not happy.

[gdhaydock]

I've arrived.

 

And it's starting raining - oh joy

Got a passenger seat / gate openers seat available.

 

Possibly even a drivers seat if insurance is good

[KruJoe]

Oof bad luck DiscoWobbler. Glad you can make it int' golf though, and everyone else who's coming - safe journey. Better late than never.

Also - boo to those who can't.

 

Update: Zippy (GDH) has arrived and has put down his roots, he'll be there to greet this evening's arrivals. I'm gonna try to kip for a bit.

 

GAME ON!

[hairnet]

[vulgalour]

At least Discowobbler's incident happen 3 miles from home and not 3 miles from Malham.  I am concerned that the Princess is going to break now because she's being worryingly well behaved... that and the Law of Sod.

[cms206]

I've just done a housemove... Currently cleaning the new place. I fear my mate Mik won't be attending as his Micra is being very un Japanese and cutting out every time it's stationary. Think Dave and I will be down tomorrow morning anyway. For those who are Scotch or fancy being brave, camping stove, rolls, totty scones and lorne sausage will also be attending...

[hairnet]

have ye any square sausage.....??

 

not had any for years

[cms206]

not had any for years

About... Errr... 24 slice!

[vulgalour]

Princess is loaded up and ready to go, almost everything went in the boot.  The weather is currently giving her a free wash, but I hope it doesn't think she needs washing again tomorrow.

[KruJoe]

Hey Hairnet, I tried to call you back, sorry we won't see you tonight, what time do you expect to be here tomorrow?

 

Latest from Phil - he's now made it past Brum in the Fronterror, with a fully operational* clutch.

He's minus sleeping bag, but we've found a volunteer to help keep him warm...

 

Signage issues have been resolved with smiles all 'round, pictures will follow.

[Mr Livered]

Have a totally smashing time shiters!

[CreepingJesus]

What time are you and Mr Fowler heading down, squire? Might join you. But then again, I fancy taking the A7 down to The Border for a change.

Yay good news Chris. I tried to call you to find out your plans earlier.

We'll leave the field for breakfast about 8.20 if anyone else can get here for then. Edd? Your breakfast is booked!

[CreepingJesus]

No chance of me making it to Bothwell for 6 now, so crack on, and I'll see you down there.

[SambaS]

In that case expect me in time for brakefast

[skattrd]

I appear to have awoken somewhat earlier than intended, it must be the excitement of a field full of shitters ... I'll finish my coffee then hit the road.
