Event Shitefest 2016 24th - 26th June --- Lost Property

[chaseracer]

I'm still wondering what the people waiting at bus stops must have thought when they saw this approaching.

 

Mostly, they ran away...!

folding chair likely ours-we have cover but no chair..

[chaseracer]

^ Chris: bring anything that belongs to Scotland next time you come to Cannock auctions; there will be an ASMM 'north of the border' raid fairly soon.

[bub2006]

I want to go north too!

[ruffgeezer]

Ooooh, the jump leads are mine! We used them on the Jcb. My rear ashtray may be there somewhere too, we used it on the Friday so as not to throw ends on the field.

 

Neither are urgent to return, so if you find a use for them, crack on! The leads came from inside the meriva when we bought it so have no sentimental value. Failing that I'm happy to meet Mrs cylinder somewhere to collect

 

I found an ashtray on the ground, I think that went in Bub's box of tat.

You SHALL go to the baw(bag), Cinderelly...!!

I appear to have five folding chairs so you are welcome to take some as an interim measure.

I'll be on a rota shortly so make sure you make contact before planning so we can make sure I'm off.

I've had enough of stuff getting put in my car on Saturday but am pleased to see I haven't found an ashtray in my box of crap.

Dave, Well done on passing out. Presume route learning starts now.  What routes will you be covering ?

There are wires down to Milton Keynes!

You do your route learning with your driving instructor. The lines I cover are Gourock, Wemyss Bay, Largs, Ardrossan Harbour, Ayr, Neilston, Newton and the Cathcart Circle. As well as Shields and Corkerhill depots. I've already done a Newton on my own as well as empty coaching stock from Corkerhill to Shields.

Not got that on my route card unfortunately. See above. Incidentally...how hard would it be to get Chinnor - Princes Risburgh added to my route card so I can come down again and have a shot? Lol.

Fair play.  It's the best feeling to get it over with and be your own man.  (I've been on for 15 years).

A few memories of Shitefest16

[GoGently]

Uploading of photos nearly as slow as my car

[davidfowler2000]

While I've come across it, I'm pretty sure this photo sums up a good part of the weekend...

[wuvvum]

Here's a picture of my bargain £3-from-the-C&PRR-shop Hornby Dublo restaurant car, hooked up to a shonky Airfix Class 31 (fitting I thought as C&PRR has a full-size Class 31 they're currently doing up, and we got a tour of the (bloody cramped) engine room).

Here's a picture of my car at work yesterday

 

 

 

It lasted until about 11.45 when the facilities manager came over to my desk and asked me to remove the sticker with the offensive word on it, humourless prick. Its a bit cleaner now too after it rained heavily (not as heavily as post roffle Saturday though) which is a shame!

 

Im glad everyone enjoyed the videos, sorry the roffle couldn't be streamed lives the signal was poor anyway, and the storm knocked it right out. It was filmed though, will or Joe's go Pro or summat, DW held it.

 

Moog, your home brew is fucking lovely too, myself, Mrs DW, Mrs JohnK and others got it gone!

[JohnK]

 

I got very strange looks razzing this into work today in a shirt and tie. I even managed a precarious handbrake turn around the car park to signal my arrival, just in case the car didn't stand out enough in that sea of white X1's and black 3-series.

[The Moog]

Glad you all liked it. Will do a special shite ale for next year.

 

Cant believe you left the hook some shite sign o for so long!

[17-Coffees]

I watched a few of the yootoob videos of cars trying to leave the field, and I've gotta say, the Lexus sounds fantastic. I know it's not cricket, but there'd have been a part of me wanting to plant my right foot on the way out, just to hear it roar...

 

It was tempting, but I had a feeling that if i did that I'd have to change my address to "The Lexus stuck in a field" afterwords...  

 

That said, I took a bad video of it a few months ago going up the rev's a little big while on the move.

 

-

On an interesting note, I managed to make it all the way back to Aberdeen on one tank of fuel! That included a few high speed sections doing the speed limit the whole time as well as traffic. Treated her to a full tank of Sainsburys super unleaded .

 

I also got the car cleaned today by a mate who does detailing and such. He diddent seem too impressed when I handed him the car, front end with a massacre of bugs on the front and mud down the sides, back and tyres. And the inside clarted in mud and grass.

Jaypee/Neil, is the BM back home yet? Utter bollocks way to end the weekend, and sorry I had to rush off like that, proper ear bashing from Amy as I said I was on my way home whislt we were gingerly driving down the lane, then 2 hours later I still wasnt!

 

Will - The veg is gr9 too, I'll pony up with you PDQ with that, and Six, if you want the 20l gone from the field I'll come grab it, or help you pour it into any of your veg friendly cars. I managed to put a pin hole in one of the bottles though, and emptied the car on sunday night to a rear footwell full of veg, what a waste! Vacced it out with the shite aquamaster which is now a bit fucked, and need to work out how to get the oily smeg out of the rear carpet too, but that can wait.

[beko1987]

This also appeared on my youtube, which seems to have worked despite telling me it didnt

We landed home about 11.30pm sunday night- 328running well and leak much reduced.
