FridgeFreezer Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So, I can renew my membership and sign on on the day then, just not join up? That should be fine, if you're feeling lovely bringing a ready filled in renewal form for Will would be most helpful as I think we're gonna have a bit of paperwork on the gate tomorrow.

simonr Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Just home! Thank you all for a hoopy day. Would be better with a truck to drive round - but even on foot it's a terrific site. I'll be back on wheels! Nice to see so many forum members too. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Muchos gracias to the guys for organising a great MOD site. Thanks also to those who helped un-stick my truck three times. It wasn't me driving, honest! I've got about 40 mins worth of great video, but it may be sometime before it is posted anywhere as I need to get Mr Moglite to do a bit of jiggery-pokery with the tape... Still a great day even though I didn't get to drive Edited to add: also thanks to Ash for looking after my lost CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well it was goOd to get out and get the tyres muddy again (with only minor damage). And esp good to catch up with so many friends.

MogLite Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Wow - I can almost breath easy. Its taken a bunch of work to sort the booking out of an MOD site. But judging by the reactions it was worth the effort. There seemed to be a lot of happy 4x4'ers today. I've never seen the Shires marshalls and committee work so hard (not that they are a lazy bunch - far from it). When we added up the numbers at the end of the day and found we had 116 paying trucks - the penny dropped - we had our biggest event to date Thanks to all that drove for being very well behaved, it was only really the wet sand and water that caused us issues. Lets hope we can do it again sometime soon. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Picture time! A tank in between two rusty old bits of hardware: A typical view - three stuck simultaneously (no Nige isn't stuck) Poorly mounted swivel recovery eye, luckily it was on the end of a plasma rope or it would've been a swivel windscreen removal eye Posing: It's Trev back in action! Trev in a gulley Anyone with photos from the day please e-mail them to photos@shirelrc.com for the club mag, or if you can get a CD / memory stick to me it would be much appreciated.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Really great day, nice to meet so many forumeers and friends I hadn't seen for so long. Trashed me front wing, and the amount of water on the site was unbeleivable. Damned good turn out and the weather was decent too I had a mate turn up so pics will be on the way fridge, but thought I'd pop this one up taken by Jon White of me Megasquirt Water proof testing again During the day I had water over the bonnet and lapping the base of the windscreen glass, and water coming out of the inside of the dash through heater vents and gawd knows where . Today I shall be mainly trying to clean it all up Well done to all the organisers - reaaly well sorted event Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 A few more photos courtesy of Jen: Trev flexing: Moose in the foreground, more stucks in the background: Dan, stuck: Trying to extract Jameslwt (I think it's him anyway ) Little Dave, Will, and SimonR comparing sizes: Little Nay once again going for restraint and good taste: Proof that my wheel arches do exist, and do cover the tyre: Didn't expect this, and really didn't expect him to chuck it about the place with as much commitment as he did: I'm pretty sure it had protection but we all winced when he bounced past us and got the front wheels in the air crossing a rut - but he crossed it and carried on going so full marks for effort! In fact I didn't hear any mention of him getting stuck which puts him in the top 50% of those through the gate I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I wondered where the CD went when I checked this morning! Didn't realise you'd been round dude - you should have looked in the garage Cracking day, just a quick note - I drove throught that hole Dan is stuck in I was impressed with the Freebie, road tyres and a lightish vehicle is quite a good run about for Slab. That was the only 'stuck' we had that day. Loved the ride in Eddie, had a giggle in the Dlander, not having a vehicle is quite fun when you can pinch lifts in everyone elses B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 While cleaning the Rangy I found the front air line to the lockers was not connected so after a quick check for sand up the air line I reconnected it in about 30 seconds swapped them round on the compressor and both lockers came back on line. So I could have got them working on the day if I had looked a little harder Did anyone get any Vid's of the day I take it by the feed back you all would be keen if we rebooked the site again once or twice this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
