Neither is my merc. Bailed it out again this afternoon!

Our 200TE is still letting in water somewhere in spite of having welding done.

Pretty sure mine is the heater blower intake on the bulkhead. Not sure anything can be done short of taking the whole lot out.

Showing up at some time on Saturday in a small pickup with a trailer; in the back of the pickup will be many Vauxhall brochures to take FOC

FoD has started with a wood delivery by X type Jaguar for the fire basket. 

[Crackers]

Wanted to bring the P6 along for this one.

Never mind...

I should really do something about the windscreen wipers.

skiving buggas off on a friday

Sorry, would like to come, but some things need attention at work. Have fun folks.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

A close friend of mine died suddenly on Tuesday morning. I'll be spending much of FoD Saturday with her parents, who might want help dealing with her Estate.

Won't be attending FoD, sorry. Feeling quite raw.

Sorry to hear that Tadhg. Look after yourself 🙂

Is this a regular thing?

Are you guys all camping somewhere together? 

Can you come in a modern car, I have modern diagnostic shenanigans I can bring to diagnose stuff with, whats it all about 😃

I don't trust the Activa enough to take it anywhere far until I've put new brakes and spheres on it 😬

[Spurious]

I may be along in the afternoon. 

The Audi is still on the ramp in the garage, it's going to run over until the morning at this rate, when it's going to be put back together. The tie rod end put up a fight and needed 'encouragement' to get off. 

 

[Six-cylinder]

Evening all. 

 

[wuvvum]

Is that Saabnut's Enema?

[Fumbler]

Bummed that I couldn't go this time. Hopefully next time I won't need to be going up and down the country over the weekend.

Is @Talbota permanent fixture at the field? Like a gnome or something?

Illustrated History of Dennis Buses and Trucks, Nick Baldwin, 1987 (few pages missing at the end) for me please.

But you'll never know whodunit if the last few pages are missing! 

[kirton]

Big sorrow to miss this yet again, I've got to practice my tlc delivery skills.

Maybe I'll be able to bring the Starlet next year, if I can find someone in this country willing to insure it...

Camping is very welcome in our field

Modern car is just fine

Yeah thats going to be fun

I think I have a window between 8PM and 9:45PM to get home without massive football hooligan crowds
