May I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has attended Farley Quarry today and to all those how have donated either at the Quarry or On-Line via the Website in Robs Memory.

Also, many thanks from myself for all those who attended and made my birthday treat a special day.

Ooo, it were a bit wet - especially on the journey home for BikerBarney and passengers.:wink:

Everyone seemed to have come away unscathed, bar the above and possibly an alternator issue, other than that the 13 Fronteras put on a good show.

All the Frontera sported a single black ribbon on an aerial, and we did hold a minutes silence as a mark of respect and in memory to "Turbo" - he was definately there in our thoughts.

Time for a shower and a bite to eat, then I'll wade (good word that) through a full memory card off the camera and maybe take a look at some video.

I'm a bit dissapointed with the camera today - I think it needs a service (the rain did'nt help). Anyway...

Postby FUDDY MUCKER on Sun Jan 20, 2008 8:38 pm

Just got back. All stokies safe and Sound.

First off, I would like to express my thanks to everyone who turned up I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me and Mrs Mucker.

Secondly a BIG, BIG thank you to 4x4 Chrissy, 4x4 Bobby, Manny and Lou for the wonderful suprise of a giant bithday cake with a picture of me and me truck on it.

Thirdly, this one goes to BikerBarney for starting an Adult MUD FIGHT and completely wedging my driver side door handle with MUD.

Forthly, a big thank you to Carl (red Oktober) and Anna (Carls better half) and Trog (Drew) for travelling a massive 500 + mile round trip. Us Midlanders hope to return the favour in the near future.

And last but not least to Ian (bobbinsjob) for the wonderful control of his bowels :? :? :? , as he decended down the 1 in 10 slope. Angeline did you proud today.

Just as Trugga said, it was a bit of a sad twist to the day regarding the Loss of Turbo (Rob), and a big thank you for all those that attended and participated in the One Minutes Silence and sported the black ribbon on there aerials.

The good news is, we raised £70.00 for Robs Family to put towards some form a memorial for Rob, thanks also goes to the people who have also donated to the website.

If anyone still wished to make a Donation in Robs Memory please do so here:

F.O.G DONATION CLICKY

Oh, nearly forgot, thank you for all the people who attended the Spread Eagle Pub afterwards. Nice to have a chat, a bit of banter, a reflection on the day and a wind down afterwards.

Hope everyone enjoyed the first drink, it will be the first and last time you see a STOKIE dipping his hands in is wallet to buy the first round. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Never mind, only come to £36.00. :shock: :shock: :shock: (must learn how to do Jessica's money trick next time. :wink: )

Just opened my First bottle of well earned BUD, and my chinese takeway will soon be meeting my stomach.

So I'll see you all later with some piccys.

Cheers Folks

Bikerbarneys stunt had me laffing all the way home. Never thought Angelina would get that dirty either :D Despite my fronty not wanting to go home,I made her in the end and was well proud of how well the 'ol girl tackled farley!

Im proud to be associated with you guys & FOG :)
