Event Next Kent meet A249 Northbound: Sun 29th March 1pm

[pandamonium]

Redbubble have this - search JDM. Otherwise come up with our own idea and get Vulgalour to do it in Limeflower

 

THIS IS HOW WE LOCK CRANK PULLEYS YO!1!!!1!1!1!

You do know what that means don't you?

When the battle changed and London became the target, bombers driven back from London would fly over Detling on the way out to dump any used ordnance there. I bet there are still a few 500kg bombs sitting under the Kent fields...Bombshite. Your unexploded Nazi ordnance is our concern

I don't know about Kent, but they still turn up about once a month in east Surrey so it makes sense.

 

They still turn up pretty often in the dredgers that supply aggregate from the Channel to Shoreham port too.

We get it around Thanet quite a lot.  Followed a bomb disposal vehicle with its flashing lights on that way a couple of weeks ago.

 

Knowing Thanet, I'm not sure why they keep disposing of them.  It should be on the town improvement plans to just let them go off...

[Christine]

There's a  WW2  uxb in the paddock behind my forge ..and the farmer harrows it every year ..   It's probably only a 500lb thank goodness

[Parky]

At a Military festival at Damyns Hall aerodrome a few years back I got to have a go at defusing a German incendiary. Was pretty easy, only detonated it four times removing the fuse on a bench.

 

Kudos to the guys doing it for real at the bottom of a crater during a raid with a gas main nearby. One of those jobs where failure really isn’t an option

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I know someone who has a close relative in bomb disposal. It’s really quite a remarkable thing to do. Balls of absolute steel.

This is coming up soon now, looking forward to catching up before winter really descends. Sunday is looking chilly but dry for now.

 

As normal, I'm selling various varieties of shite on ebay - anything wants anything, give me a shout: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/so-real. I'm already bringing something for Mr Vant.

 

Flat4Alfa and I haven't managed to meet yet so I can hand him a bass guitar he won in a roffle, if anyone is coming from his general direction (nearer Luton than me) and could take it at least in his direction, would be much appreciated.

 

Ta.

 

 

Oh, for anyone into their real ale, happy to bring along some local Herne Bay stuff if anyone is interested: http://www.goodyales.co.uk/shop.html

[Parky]

I'd be happy to take the item back to Thurrock, probably gets it half way closer to Fiat4Alfa and would save him from having to negotiate the crossing if that helps?

 

It can live in the boot of the car or the garage - or I can live out some Level 42 fantasies prior to collection!

[Parky]

You do know what that means don't you?

Erm yes I do.  It means a week on the couch

[pandamonium]

Only if you don't have permission...

Cheers Parky, I've exchanged PM's with Flat4, and he's happy with that, so I'll bring it with me. I'm sure he'll be fine if you do some posing with it

Ah sorry man, about the only listing I can't end really as someone has lobbed a bid on...

[inconsistant]

Might struggle to get to this, since I was away all last weekend at the NEC show of dreams, this Sunday is aparently a family day out day.

Yes, I did check and no, the A249 northbound smol meet doesn't count as a damily day out.

Have fun all.

[pandamonium]

Got my little lad this weekend - if he's up for it, should be able to come down and show off the Corolla.

[DSdriver]

Despite MrsDS trying to destroy Sainsbury's trolley park with the Saab estate this week it is repaired already and I am looking forward to the meet.

Just need to know exactly where it is, presumably over the top of the hill past Scragged Oak Road but how much further on? Is it at Mickey's Rock Cafe?

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Correct.  Mickey's.  Or whatever it's being called this week.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

[Vantman]

The weather is looking dry and sunny  but it could still be chilly at the top of the hill so bring a coat!

[DSdriver]

I have set of rear bumper covers ( the black bits) for Volvo 740 1983-89, new old stock, if anyone is interested I can bring them?

[Parky]

I think Shep Shepherd might have one of those?

[pandamonium]

I'm now out due to money having run out before pay day.

 

Been down to Kent for something else today and traffic was mental between Snodland and Maidstone.

[inconsistant]

Balls of absolute steel.

My Uncle works in a ball bearing factory,,,

[egg]

One final bump for lunchtime.

 

I'm leaving in half an hour, so see you all there for Bacon sarnie.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

See you there.

[RobT]

I'll be a bit late as not long woken up, but see you later.

[Christine]

Oh dear , got to the end of the road in the Pajero and the pads give a murmur ....got to Tunbridge Wells and braking creates a grinding noise....

 

 

I'll not risk Detling hill.. so turned around came home    .

 

That'll be new discs and pads then

 

[Vantman]

A jolly good meeting if a little chilly,nice to meet the regulars and some new faces--for me anyway. No pictures from me as I discovered my camera was in my other car!

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Was good to meet you mate!  As usual it was a cracking little meet and some very bloody interesting cars, too.

[Parky]

Things which are peaches...

 

1 - A Peach

2 - The princess in the Mario games

3 - James favourite giant fruit

4 - These two
