Well I made it home safe and sound after leaving Fusion just outside Leicester.

What a great weekend. Big thanks to everyone who helped to organise and run the weekend a big thankyou for everyone who turned up in the cars to play!

Its a brilliant place to take you car, lots of different routes to take. Plenty of mud to play around in and some of the climbs are quite challenging, all in all one of the best places to have a good time without damaging your car.

Now I just need to get some sleep, will post some pictures of my Fronty later if I wake up!!!

as we came down towards the M69 his engine was running hot
( think everyones was running hot) but after we had pulled over to discuss diections as went to leave the parking area his oil light came on. And since I was running hot and couldn't turn my enigne off I had no choice but to leave him there.

and thats all I know till Fusion turns up to fill the blanks in !

Im home :D

Olive is a bit sick tho :roll: :roll:

She decided to dump most of her oil on the way home, was having to put a liter in every 50 miles or so :roll:

Then on the M69 near Coventry the idler pully decided to sieze and in a puff of smoke the belt snapped. :roll:

So yes I was stretchered home :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks to Cj and Debs for organising such a great weekend. It was great to see all the usual suspects and to meet some new faces.

The site is fantastic, something for everyone. You didnt need to thrash your truck if you didnt want to. But a lot did :lol: :lol:

I think the running total for strechered vehicles now stand at six :shock: :shock:

Pics to follow :wink:
