Brendan, Do you have / are you taking rear door gas struts? I'm hoping to be there Sunday, but can't guarantee that I'll make it. On that basis if you are taking them, don't hold on for me, I'll take a chance. Cheers Rich semper in excretia sumus solim profundum variat |

Hi Pete, we are going down on Friday, dragging the tin tent with us. Have the odd bottle of German beer in back of the 110
Rich have several gas struts in stock so should have one on Sunday for you. Brendan |

Second breakfast is for staff only! Barbara and I may well be too busy on Saturday unless you and Steve are volunteering to join the honoured ranks of hired friends? Brendan PS Edited to add anyone wishing to join the ranks of hired friends had better sign up before Barbara goes sshopping. Otherwise second breakfast might be a bit meagre!

Went to the show for a few hours today, fortunately for me my expenditure was curtailed down to a paltry £37 (not including entry or steak and cheese baguette) due to inavailability of stock of what I was after at the show. (Defendoor and a Karlos Fandango oil drain/valve adaptor that will appease SWMBO next oil change as it shouldn't flood the drive.
)
Nice to put a few faces to names and have a chat..... Pete from BAS, thanks for the advice I'll place an order week after next.
Brendan from 4x4 Overlander, met him whilst he was bending down there was some serious builder's bum action going on and two people tried to park their bicycles. Only joking! Nice to have met you! Hope the rain holds off tomorrow. Big Russ not as big as I'd imagined.
Steve Bpman the only individual who the traders threw their coats down for so his boots didn't get muddy to look at their wares. Reckon you were the biggest spender of the day due to your coyness when asked how much you'd blown.  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

like K9F says, it was good to catch up, new and old faces.
collected my NL fridge ... very pleased with it .. same model as "go beyond" ... chilling beers in the garage as we speak. Saw Bren and Mrs Bren, Ian, Ross & the "NUSH" - forgot to get my photo taken beside her, Gavin and Annie, Dug and got some Mudrut stickers
Also met Tim from Mobilecentre ... top bloke, had a good long chat about LED light, Speakers (focal) and Dynamatting ... somethings to think about bumped into K9F .. and top find of the day was "Quiet for a Tuesday" by Tom Sheppard from APB |

Yep turned up and saw Steptoe (for those of you that don't know this is Brendans new stage name when he's at show's! even some of the kids were running up to him and asking if he was called Steptoe? What can I say, fame travels fast!!!)
Bumped into the same people as bpman (that tends to happen when you walk round together (no there was no holding hands at any point!)). Good to meet Tim at mobile centre, very friendly and open, and could easily help you spend money! and save some at the same time! (don't find that very oftern). So good to see all and meet a few new faces! Russell 2011MY 110 XS USW Black |
