Must start with a big thanks to everyone who had a hand in organising Stainby this time around. Great Job, it was a cracker.

Heres a few piccies I got on my phone.

Image

A line up, left to right. My beast, Weaves trusty rusty, Goldfinders SWB.

Image

Weave gets a lil nose up

Image

Then back down again.

Image

Goldfinder nose up.

Image

Goldfinder, as he put it Arse in the air....

Image

Ryan drops into the bottom.

Image

Weave follows.

Image

A nice lil drop off.

Image

Anyone say articulation?

Image

Weave in the bender.

Image

One foot forward, one foot back.

Image

One barks, the other bites...

AKA Kaz and Ryan.

Image

Nifty, our photographer after letting his 2.8 drink alil muddy water on Saturday (She does appear to be recovering well).

Must mention a few casualties,
Sirdoris, a front drive issue.
Wayne in Nifties old ride..... too amny to count.
Weave, lost a shock, lost a fan, got home safe.
Goldfinder, lost his fan, got home yet Graham?
Ryan, Lost his exhaust.

I didnt hear of any casualties amongst the other guys and girls there, hope eveyone got home safe and sound.

Again many thanks and see you all next time.

Update on Goldfinder.
Got home ok, looks like my superglue trick in his visco helped 8)

Shame it didnt help weave, but trusty got him home in one peice with just the passing air to cool him.

looks like a few scrappies are going to be losing some fans :lol:

Hey hey camperoonies! Got home about 6.30pm, had a bite to eat then promptly had a snooze on the couch. Im well :evil: bout the front drive problem. Will have a root round tomorrow. Maybe a big hammer will sort it. Still made it round the whole place several times on saturday before realising that I only had 2 wheel drive. Oh what a good Fronty my Fronty is :) Had a great weekend apart from that, a rather nice an relaxing couple of days away from the hussle and bussle of Wales. Was good to put a few names to faces and see other trucks wandering around. Main thing is everyone got home safe and sound. Thanks to the organisers. Il post whatever pics I have later. I only took about 6 of them. The trailer I picked up on the way home seems to be pulling well and is in far better nick then the pics led me to believe. Well chuffed with that! Sorta makes up for the 4x4 problems. Later folks.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
