Sorry folks, can't make it tomorrow

I hope you all have a great day anyway....have fun

[steve_earwig]

Oh blimey, tomorrow's the day! Hope the weather's ok and you have a splendid one chaps

Bluddy incinerator weather here

[Captain Jack]

That's a shame Jasper. You could have mended all of our cars

Where's Welly these days?

[Doggy]

Yes, a real shame jasper can't make it.

Just a polite reminder, since Dai's away, he has entrusted me with the sacred duty of flogging the 406oc stickers at Gaydon - (in fact, I've already sold one to some geezer with a moonstone blue estate).

Anyway, raid yer piggy banks, they're on special offer tomorrow!

* As Disco has volunteered to deliver the proceeds to Mr Rees, he will be on hand, (possibly in dinner jacket & shades), to 'encourage' custom *

I'll bring along my £103.13 petrol receipt from the last fill if anybody's not seen one before...

you are talking to man who used to own a 4 and a half litre v8, thats not even a half tank in that old beasty

2 or 3 years back, my boss bought a 40ft american motorhome - size of a coach, and I was told it was the same chassis as the american fire trucks
anyway it had a 8.5 litre engine, and I had to drive it back from kent
We went in toddington services and put £50 in and the gauge never moved
I remember the LPG tank was 300 litres, but can't remember the capacity of the fuel tank but it was considerably bigger
I do remember if it was filled with gas, diesel, and water it added over a ton in weight

I've got:

BBQ ... charcoal ... bratwurst

Bagsy!


Got to clean the motor in the morning, stop at the bank on the way, and do 100 miles or so... so a 45 mins drive?

Girlies? Don't think there'll be any mate, so don't be getting your hopes up for any saucy pics. Chances are the only t*ts you'll be able to see in any pics will be ours!

Best get a move on then!
While the dogmobile returns respectable fuel consumption figures, the same unfortunately, does not always apply to the pilot.

Good to hear from you, puggy - real sorry to hear you won't be there tomorrow.
Won't be the same, but if there's any letchery required, we'll give it our best shot.....

[Bailes1992]

Think I could sleep last night?

[ToddM]

Not very likely, mate! Hey guys don't forget to take pics alright? Maybe I could join you all next time!

[plod]

Just got back in

Very enjoyable day, and nice to put names to faces

Even my lad really enjoyed himself

Doggy - thanks for the pootle in the doggymobile

[Captain Jack]

I am back too. Lovely day and a good turn out. Not even hungry for dinner after 3 hot dogs and a burger...
