panhard65 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Right just about to head off. If this is a good idea or not I am not sure I will decide when / if I get there. johngarty, oldcars, Dick Cheeseburger and 6 others 9
rantingYoof Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I'll be heading over at about 1ish...hoping that most of you haven't impulsively hopped on a giant yellow bus to go stare at trains (although perfectly understandable if you have)! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
beko1987 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Due to the mud, please can any day visitors park outside the gate along the lane on the grass and walk in. Our bus and some grain lorries are still using this road so please park leaving the tarmac clear.I'm camping tonight, any chance of getting my tent on wheels to the field or should I just park on the hard standing at the top and sleep up there?

johngarty Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I'm home for tonight, and just about to go to bed, but the videos I took have uploaded to youtube! The bus arrived! There are pictures but I've not copied them off my phone, I'm off to bed in readiness for tomorrow. I'll be bringing my wellies though, if there's any more rain it will be even more muddy, hopefully I can get down to the campsite tomorrow (if there's room, it's bloody tight in there now! Probably even more so now Show 'Edit by' line!) Great vids, please keep up the updates The bus looks very much as still in service. Was it 'borrowed' from the company for the weekend?

Inspector Morose Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I seem to have bought my bus to the wrong party. Interesting chod though. davidfowler2000, johngarty, RichardK and 2 others 5

oldcars Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks to ian I was dragged out. Going to have to take a run up out.....When i saw the mud photo i thought the weight of your car and van you had no chance. Fingers crossed it drys up a bit.
Dave_Q Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I R finally on route after delays related to the fact that having children means you often have to look after children. ETA approx 7pm, will I miss the roffle and/or quiz?
Richard Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I can't see us getting back from the railway before 7 so you shouldn't miss anything. Dave_Q 1

JohnDeere Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Good to meet most of you today, in my flying visit. Enjoyed the 150 mile round trip in the Visa - the massively juddering clutch meant I managed to minimise the numbers of roundabouts in MK that I had to stop at. skattrd and willswitchengage 2
mitsisigma01 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I'll be in the Mitsubishi of much blueness.Is that the one of much dampness as well , me and alex tried to cover the gaping hole of the sunroof ,Have a goodun .Cheers anonymous user and purplebargeken 2
meshking Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 If it is I'll have to get my arse into gear and get a copy since my son and I are in it!
skattrd Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I must say, in the above pic, Mr_CMS does look like some kind of mentalist, which of course, we all know is true. It was good to see old faces and new, and my trip to Bucks and back in the Umm was uneventful. It has remarkably good road manners and I've just calculated the mpg, which was again a fraction under 30mpg. Thanks Chris_Cyl for hosting SF_16, don't get too drunk chaps and have safe journeys home .... Fingers crossed for Bucketeer in the Samara roffle davidfowler2000, 320touring, cms206 and 2 others 5
purplebargeken Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Just a brief thank you to Chris for being brave enough to host all of this. A very big thank you to the lads who covered up the Mitsu when I had a major episode of the stoopids and left the sunroof open and stored rain in the car for later. My left elbow was very cool and contented on the journey back and my jeans appeared to have soaked up most of the rain from the drivers seat.I've just popped a note on the Sales, swaps, freebies, logistics, & cetera thread as I only managed to leave the two Jerry cans for The Moog and nowt else. Many thanks to a very nice AS'er who brought me from the railway back to the site as his passenger. I am so sorry but I cannot recall your name (very rude of me, sorry) but you drove a green Citroen Xsara 1.6 auto with LPG. Name? Nah, car? Hell yes. What an ace car too, my first Xsara! Much impressed. Sorry to all that I had to depart earlier than I wanted, I had forgotten to take my meds with me on The Very Fast Bus of Yellowness and as a result I am now fecking knackered and short of breath like it is going out of fashion. Bloody great to meet ya all (some I knew, others not). The Scottish contingent are happily nuts for travelling down in the bus (obv in a good way). Thanks to Chris for providing the venue and enabling SF to actually be. Good to meet you Bub. Yes, you can have first dibs on the Mitsubishi, you can even have a go when you pop down to collect te trailer The Mitsu was ace, no hassles whatsoever, I nipped along at more MPH than you might imagine and left a few cars looking rather slow and doddery A good day but I'm off now to become more unconscious. Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks Thanks again KruJoe 1
barefoot Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I must say, in the above pic, Mr_CMS does look like some kind of mentalist....More like Jack Nicholson in The Shining!

quicksilver Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Safely back at home now after deciding to make a run for it when the weather turned. Today was awesome and it was great to meet so many shiters. Sorry I dashed off so quickly without saying a proper farewell but I'll need to come back sometime tomorrow to collect what's left of my stuff.

panhard65 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I must be getting soft in my old age but took one look at the state of the field and turned round and came home. I did have a nice run in the 204 today though without getting soaked and covered in mud
