Thanks for organising sorry we didn't socialise much, feckin truck took up to much time sorting and didn't want to intrude to much with our clan.

By the way who donated the BBQ for the raffle ??

Got a surprise when we went to unpack it and use it.....

Cheers Pete

Was there any sausages in there 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.

:rotfl: I have looked at all of the pics and it looks like it was a great laugh. :lol: I think if someone can travel all the way from Germany,I am sure we can travel from Scotland. :lol: We would have been there before but with having a 2.4 petrol Fronty at the times for the annual meets in the past,then it would have been expensive on fuel but now that we have a 2.2 DTI,it will be alot cheaper on fuel.
