Divster Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Come on then, who's going. I will be. (posted the cheque today Neil), sold my lovely three year old Kwak 750 crotch rocket to finance it. Still to sort: New front diff (picking one up and fitting it this weekend) Drivers window not winding up or down Passenger door jammed shut One wheel rim to belt back into shape and put the simex back on Dislocation cones to repair/ replace Brakes to bleed New winch rope to source and fit Anyone got any recommendations for cheap B&B accom. I don't think that there's camping this time Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwt1981 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yes Carolyn McKay, Barford Cottage, Churt Farnham Surrey, excellent value and nice people, just up the road from me. Should be in the phone book probably under A McKay. About 3 miles away and a good pub too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robhybrid Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have paid and am in the process of trying to twist my mates arm into being my co driver. Cant find my magasine with map of where slab is, so has anyone got the co ordinates -najw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_s Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I live in Bordon, but unfortunately I don't think i'll have room for people to stay. I'll be marshalling the event... Neil will have to confirm but I've got a feeling there is camping and a planned bonfire, as it's Guy Fawkes night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divster Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 don't forget a firework.... Knowing my luck I'm not so sure that carting a load of pyro's around in the back of my truck all the way down south is such a good idea. I'd probably end up turning it into a convertable half way down the M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeryDisco Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 YEY bonfire I bonfire's. Les, would you like me to cook for you? I'll be taking the kit down for me and Rob so you're most welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
