Nice to meet Pete (GUM) there too.

Nice to meet you too Thumbs Up
Stu- Nice to meet you, just a shame that you had to pack up today Confused

It was a decent show, although not very big. Nice to put names to faces. I went with the thinking of "I don't need anything, I won't buy anything". Somehow, I managed to buy a new set of seats, a tow bar, some cider and a detachable Discovery tow bar. Looks like I'll be busy!

Are you old enough to have that? Whistle Twisted Evil


Stu - I must be fairly unique there then. To be fair I didn't see many other Pumas in the car park really. Especially not 90's. Thumbs Up ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

^^Was wondering if you meant that one when you said about the picture...
Just remembered that I took this picture of the same vehicle, but of the tyre...

I popped up there today with my daughter, kept an eye out for D2 stickered Defenders but no joy. Had a quick chat with Pete from BAS, nice bloke. Hope to visit him in the near future for a re-remap Smile

While I was there bought a couple of goodies and sold my bumper and A bar that I'd just taken off to fit a new bumper bought at the show.

Had a go on the off-road course (green run) and came away relatively unscathed. Didn't want to risk the red run after seeing some guy progressively trashing his 07 plate D3.

The weather was pants but both me and my daughter enjoyed the show anyway, saw some cracking Defenders and got a few ideas to try on my 90.

Hope those going tomorrow have better weather Thumbs Up 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

As far as I'm aware, it's classed as a fail under The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. Part 11 subsection 2. I will however, check with my VOSA trained MOT tester at work on Monday morning, just for conformation. An engine to TDi for!

I must admit to being a little disappointed, I expected somehow that it would be a bit bigger but on the other hand it was quite friendly and a "happy" little show that has potential to grow. I managed to miss the rain, that happenend on the journey down, it was just over a 2 hour trip for me so had plenty of time for the wet to move on from the showground.
It's such a shame that the catering prices have to be so steep, I know these weren't as bad as some venues but there has to be a more cost effective way of being able to feed youngsters without having to cart round food so as not to break the bank, I'm sure if there was a way organisers of the venues and catering providers could get together to be able to lower the cost to Joe Public then it would make these shows a lot more family friendly. That's just my opinion Whistle

Who had the grey 90 not far from the camping area with the D2 sticker on the top of the windscreen? Mud tyres on which were muddy too?
No one seemed to be near it.. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️
