:oops: I'm saying nowt :lol:

Seriously though, as always it's nice to meet both new and old faces and give the trucks a bit of excercise at the same time. It was a fine weekend and a big thanks are due to everyone who helped organise and run it. Well done to you all... :clap: :clap: :clap:

As always, some really good photos of the action both on the muddy part of the site and on the field, and as per normal the quality of Lawrences shots lead the way.

Trip home was done in about 2 hours with no problems until I went to reverse the van into the yard, from the rattles it seems that I picked up a good portion of the stream bed while getting the truck off the bank on Sunday and brought it home sat between the disks and the backing plates. I'm saying nowt about the mud that was found in trucks rad when I changed it for the ex 'Blue Bus Rad' from Jim (that Blue Bus just keeps on giving!)

The pair of us are looking forward to next years already and Angie says she will do 'bingo' shouting again next year too...
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
