Turbocharger Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Does anyone have Les Brock's number?

Adrian Turner Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 What a great day, top draw punch's. Nice to meet up with some old friends and meet some new one's. Tango mate, top driving Les... well what can i say, top block... thank's for lunch But what made the day for me was everbody was respecting the red&white Tape You don't get that at some others Well done to RJL/Lewis, did you find some hidden one's Thanks to Tony and team for a great day B) P/s put me down next year, and i'll try not to be late.... sorry everone...

Turbocharger Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 But what made the day for me was everbody was respecting the red&white Tape I don't think I can claim that's fully true, since there were several moments when I ducked under the tape. In my defence, I had a Milemarker, no lockers and a couple of hundred miles between the two vehicles in my team... I've got to drive to work in it on Monday, I'm not going to risk a wing/CV for the sake of some red tape. Pah, disqualify me (from last place) if you will, I had a great day and that was my aim. A cracking event with a really good format (competing on Saturday and drinking afterwards) and it gives the chance for a convoy of 80 mud tyres droning through villages, making enough noise to bring people to their front doors to watch us pass... Thanks to Will "Mr Commitment" Warne for bitchin', James for setting out and Tony & Val for the world's largest spread at the BBQ. Any photos? MiniTurbo took all our pics and he can't get them off his camera for a week or so. He has an excellent snap of the position Will left us in when Rob appeared and he could go and play properly...

Mark90 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 What a cracking weekend, I am still and at our 2nd place and still trying to figure out if it was because of or in spite of teaming up with Bish Top event, top punches, top company, but mostly importantly top grub, thanks and well done Val. Thanks to those who organised/set out/marshaled/etc wouldn't have happened without you lot. While I'm thanking people (just like the Oscars ain't it?) Thanks to Andy for bitching for me and to Steve for keeping Nicky entertained for the day Got back, unloaded the truck, nipped down the jet wash to give it a rinse off and then got home in time for Mo to arrive here on a flat bed, he's now headed off with a quality pre-used track rod (after Chris broke his other one ) so hopefully should make it home at a reasonable hour. Now who's got some good photo's? Especially of the highest placed Land Rover team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Now who's got some good photo's? Especially of the highest placed Land Rover team? You still let a couple of Suzukis beat you Have to say, I've not seen zooks really used in anger before, and I was very impressed. Capable little vehicles...

bishbosh Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 As already said, a great day. Well done andf thanks to all who set up, marshalled and bar -b- que'd. Shame Jim got to the chocolate cake before me though . A little bit shocked by the result, but the grin is still there . Mark's flash of inspiration on how to attack a couple of virgin punches was what made the difference, although he did do his best to put me on my roof afterwards - I needed the full weight of an exmoor beast and a squaddie (sorry Andy ) to keep me shiny side up on the way out of one of them! Big thanks to Will and Andy who biatched marvelously. Will will be remembered for his "oh you'll be all right" line repeated all day long, and Andy for his " you couldn't get it better than that" before Mark put it into a tree and his "you should have stopped sooner" to me after I reversed into one!

simonr Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We had a fab time. Even better for Graham taking my 90 on a trailer and instead of having to drive there & back, I just sat sipping diet coke in his comfy air conditioned disco II - fab. Nice to see everyone. Sorry one or two of you couldn't stay for the party - you missed seeing a different side of one or two people (quite a funny side! - "Count Duckula" to name but one!) Thanks for the Compressor Les.B - it's now been hybridised with a couple of other compressors and is running nicely!. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ditto - we had a great time, thanks to veryone who put the event on and suppied the food at the end. Bust a half shaft on the first punch but Si managed to get us around a few more and made the day. It bust right by the wheel end as well, only took ten mins to repair and didnt have to use your magnet Si but next time perhaps. Last week was a bit of a rush for us but then I guess that applies for everyone. Looking forward to the next one. Si I would check the knot on the rear winch before you use it again, it was done it a bit of a hurry and almost upside down at the time.

will_warne Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Thanks again Tony, Val and all the mashals for a great weekend. I hope everyone got back safely. Anyone heard anything from Mo? For those who didn't hear, Chris, Mark and I stopped when we saw Mo in a layby struggling with a bent trackrod. After the offending item was removed Chris then proceeded to straighten snap it. I bet Mo was glad we stopped We then left once we knew the AA were on the way. I'd like to say well done to Turbo for getting stuck in on some of the punches but you do need a faster winch and a little extra commitment wouldn't hurt I'd also like to say well done to Rob for actually making it down at all, then doing some driving and lasting quite late into the evening after being up for 30+ hours The Marshals did a supeb job with the punches. there were some interesting ones but the level was about right for everyone who was competing. Best of all, no one seemed to come off with any serious damage. I just wished I was driving The party last night was superb. Val, the cooking was wonderful! I also picked up a new jigsaw in the raffle, perfect for doing bodywork 'alterations'. Once the alcohol started to flow it was great fun; Les inparticular was on fine form Tony, I hope you haven't spent all day tidying up after all of us , its very good of you to put us all up! Roll on next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yes, it was a great weekend. Thanks from me to Val, Tony, the marshalls, and anyone else that had anything to do with organising it. I'm really glad I came in the end - it reminds me just how much fun it is when we get together. I'm really sorry about the duck. There were some close moments in the winch challenge, and a bit of body damage. I bashed myself on the right knee with a shackle and there's a huge bruise on it now. Horse fly bites everywhere too - wish I had used that girly stuff you had Tony. Roll on next year! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well Les (Where's my wallet) Henson here are a couple of pics of our adventure I'll post up the Full results tomorrow finished tidying/wheel changing/car cleaning at 2130 this eve Val and I had a great time thanks for coming one and all massive thanks for the raffle prize donations: X-Eng Gwynn Lewis and all the competitors Roll on BDB07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSN Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just to add my thanks as well to all of the afore mentioned people for a great weekend. Had a great time and hopefully didn't slow Tony down too much during the day. Thankfully the water pump carried on squeaking all the way home as well so have hopefully fully broken the run of RAC call outs! Good to meet a few more people from here in the flesh and to catch up with a few familiar faces. Will hopefully see a lot of you at the next event.

geoffbeaumont Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Guys, Les asked me to take a look at the forum gallery and see if it was possible to create an area where we could all post photo's on a particular subject like the BDB06. Anyway, after spending a while scratching my head trying to figure out how to set an album up so anyone could post to it I discovered that albums only belong to one user but you can create categories and post directly to them instead...but you have to post within the gallery instead of from My Controls. You can also set up a category that you post albums to instead of single photos. I've created an Events category (takes albums), and a subcategory of BDB06 for the birthday bash (takes single photos). You need to make sure you've drilled right down into the category you want else you end up posting to its parent. Clear as mud? That's what I thought, too... To make it easier, click here: category specially for the BDB06 Then click 'New Image' on the top right and upload your image as normal. I've uploaded a few of mine, but I didn't get many decent ones - it was too dark for my camera under the trees, so anything moving is blurred. Strangely I got several decent ones of Turbocharger...
