Now we are enjoying the fire.

Those were fun. Think I got the hang of 'em.

Particularly impressed by the minty Renault 11 - For Our Eyes Only.

11/10; would go again. 

[LightBulbFun]

so how many times can I complain about not being able to make it before it starts becoming excessive? LOL

 

but im very happy to see everyone there looks to be having a good time  (Just wish I could be a part of it!)

Gah, fire! Can we plan the next weekender for when I haven't got the kids and can get drunk and sleep in the car like the  good old days? 

Dunno what time we'll be along in the morning, I've told the kids as early as they can get their shit together we can leave. Think my dad and stepmum may pop by too... Do i need/is anything wanted for tomorrow that I might be able to bring that was needed today? 

I'd like to book the Renault 11 for a driving lesson tomorrow too when it gets a bit quieter later in the day... So no drunk driving tonight @kirton

[hairnet]

thanks to the crazy buckingham posse for the hospitaltality :D

nice to see all you mad people and @dollywobbler crew :)

ferry to catch tomorrow so thats it from me

when the next one :)

@RobT - how to fix reno? export from london obvs :P

 

[beko1987]

Oh, and the 2 random people were mutha_beko and my stepdad. They've moved to within 3 miles of the FoD, so I thought it best to get them acquainted! 

They like you all very much, my stepdad was loving the Renault, told him he should have had a shot in it. Don't think their coming back tomorrow though, he wants to sort the garage out and have a go at getting the petrol rotavator he hasn't used for nigh on 12 years started (again, told him he should have put it in the car!)

It would appear so.  Just glad to see it's been fixed!

After speaking to beko this evening I am going to have a wander down tomorro morning and hopefully catch up with friends. 3 steeds to choose from 

1) mini countryman ( too new though and too reliable) 

2) peugeot 406 which is damn comfy and economical 

3) reliant trike but not sure on fuel consumption on a long drive. Also no fuel gauge or working odometer but it's the most fun. 

Any recommendations welcome. Place bets now!

To early to tell but the signs are good. I had bought the carb kit and gaskets were replaced, the choke mechanism made more secure. It cut out on the first test run, but we had sent IanBMW to follow it with a tow rope and Land Rover so it did restart. Further test drives along with the 4 mile chip shop run were successful.

Also is there a chippy relatively local? Thank you

They are not open on Sundays.

Fast food at services then on way home! Depends what vehicle I use though on whether I take m1 hone.

My intention is to be dropping by probably around 1400 all being well.  Won't be able to stay long but even a brief appearance to actually say hello to someone aside from the occasional pharmacist will be really nice.

Still not 100% sure which car I'll bring but most likely will be the Jag.  I think until I've got the hub properly sorted (or at least proven over more than four miles) it makes sense to keep TPA on local duties and on a reduced speed limit, and I'd rather not end up with half the population of Buckinghamshire stuck in a queue behind me.

Next time one of these rolls around I really should bring the van and just stay over, it's been forever since I did anything like that.

I have yet to find a digital camera which will render the colour of the R11 in all its magnificence.

[brownnova]

Disappointed not be able to join in this time! 
 

Next time!! 

[Heidel_Kakao]

I made it to work safely guys ?. I wish I could have stayed longer but duty calls. Apologies again for briefly unleashing my inner hooligan in the "M3", I am a child.

[dozeydustman]

Just about to leave the sunny south coast. ETA 9:30
