Yet another night in the workshop, and I feel I am now nearly there (FFS) .........nearly - bit more and done smile.gif


The 'Howling Wolfe' Round 1 does look like a winning event - huge and decent mixed entry field....



There do also seem to be a number of 'forumeers' entered, so I just was wondering from here

Whos entering / bitching at Slab, and who is planning to come and point laugh shout abuse and take pics spectate ?

Would be nice to know who to stick fingers up at laugh.gif ??


For myself..... I will have Jon White from the forum with me, ...and I know Tonk is planning to 'visit' (thats 'visit' with a Capital 'P**s Take') tongue.gif




Who entering from this forum, planning to spectate then ?

Nige
WALFY

If I'm not busy replacing my fence (bloomin' weather) or helping Jez I may toddle up in the gaylander to say hi.
darthdicky
I should be there taking pics - any chance you could bring along that CB and aerial Nige, if it's made it to your place yet?

Cheers,

Richard

I will be there with Carl Hurst bitching just need to get the winch castings machined up yet,my mates CNC's drive broke on saturday just waiting for replacement part, cutting it close,Glyn has no winches yet sad.gif
Boothy
Boothy and son will be competing hopefully, (depends on the water),

Nobody takes the p*** out of one another, its a sort of DIY thing really,

Listen for the V8 (if the Megaquirts mega) its a white/blue 88" truckcab traybacky thing, running your fuel map Nige.

Be nice to see some faces, to put to names, I hope. biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Hope you got one of those waterproof camera's, you might need it rolleyes.gif

I haven't touched the truck since i cleaned it after france, i was going to make a new dash and rewire but ended up putting up fencing for horses all weekend dry.gif
Might get out into the workshop tonight and fit some rubber arches, 6" of bogger poking out past the bodywork is not a good thing in the mud rolleyes.gif

Apparently a few light showers are due between now and then, might have to revise the sections!!!

or maybe not blink.gif blink.gif

Signing on will open at 2:00pm on Sat and scrutineering will be available thereafter, get in early folks as there are a lot of cars to get processed.

(Oh and by the way Nige, it's Howlin' Wolf - your mind's been addled over the last couple of years)

No you don't have to be there Saturday, it just helps to relieve the pressure on Sunday.

The more that arrive on Saturday, the less of a queue there will be the following morning

Old quarries, landfills and military training grounds tend not to have PostCodes as Mister Postie rarely has to visit blink.gif

Ask me nicely after the weekend and I'll send you a TomTom POI file with all the sites already on it.

GU35 9HJ is the best I can come up with. You can see the word "Slab" just south of the postcode arrow.

If anybody has got a spare push in type washer pump (standard cheapo type with 2 push on blade connectors) they can chuck in their toolbox it would be much apprechiated, just broken mine 21.30hrs just before it goes on the trailer for a 5 hour drive.

It's no doubt one a thousand things that can go wrong.

Thanks lads and lassies and look forward to seeing you tommorow.
