I might be able to make it for a short visit, as I may have work in the area. If possible I'd come in my new toy, as long as you promised not to throw rocks at the outsider.. If you squint a bit it looks like a 101 from a distance!
I can't however confirm until shortly before the event, but won't be camping or staying long, just 3 hours or so max. Is that possible or are there course booking issues that prevent it?
You, an outsider? There's a wierd idea. I reckon rocks'll only be thrown if you decide to sing...
Yeah, so does mine ;-)
The giveaway is the 'unofficial' bit I guess. So long as Graham doesn't end up out of pocket (which I sort of know won't happen), then join in anything that's free :-)
While I've been around for a while, it was more me turning up in a non-landrover product that I thought might make the other natives restless, sort of like a tribal member turning up in leather shorts and yodelling all of a sudden. An Austrian truck in the midst of a British war machine might risk getting a bayonet through the shoulderblades..
Only if you are colour blind!!
Well if I can get the thing on the road in time, and can afford the journey to Harrogate in a vehicle that might just get 16MPG on a downhill stretch, depending on wind direction, I'll stop off along the way. If the job comes up, most of the fuel will be paid for which helps!
On or around Fri, 7 Apr 2006 22:35:26 +0100, Ian Rawlings enlightened us thusly:
I might be in me Ford... depends on the results of the pre-MOT on Edward and whether I have time to get him sorted. There's definitely something awry in the front suspension; I suspect chassis bushes on the driver's side front spring.
I don't think the Orchestra of the Pink Oboe will trouble me, when I fart, dogs come running and bats crash into trees. Besides, too cold for shorts, a big SS overcoat might be better with matching Luger.
Well at least the rear lights are now legal, although there are no numberplate lights (no numberplate either!) and no reversing light, not sure if all those are required, will browse the MOT regs once I've done the finishing touches to the lights that are there and put the mess away.
Why couldn't those teutonic nits just stick to the light patterns from good old Blighty, we do things the way they should be.
Didn't matter - we had soooo much space on the stand nobody would really have known it was 'on' our stand. Mind, this didn't stop the rivet counting tossers kicking up a fuss (later, obviously, too cowardly to say anything at the time). I did tell them to f... o..
Oh go on. Just a little bit of thigh slapping. Pleeeeeease :-)
I used to have one of them (unissued). Full length, smashing quality leather, high collar (akin to The Matrix), with a sort of 'flap' which came down from the back on the inside to wrap around the feet if needed, to keep tootsies warm whilst sat in a cold car (so I was told). Some fecka nicked it during a party some 25 odd years ago. Only ever seen one other, and that was on eBay I think and went for silly-money.
Number plate light is, but reversing light isn't (unless fitted, in which case it must be working, if that makes sense). HOWEVER, you could have left the original lights if you're keeping it on original jonny-foreigner plates, or if on UK plates, can argue historic vehicle status and in order to maintain authenticity, need to keep lights as is. (Yes, I've been helping out in the traffik kort recently!)
