SE picnic in the mud/woods...sunday 6th december 2009

Tyres are in - CONFIRMED!!!!! Maxxis Buckshot Mudders 31/10.5/50/15s.... x4 - £279.99 SOLD!!! I was quoted £102 +VAT locally EACH!! Bought from JCS TYRES - NOTTINGHAM... look them up on t'internet

Collecting Sat 9am... back to sunny Sandhurst and having them mounted - oo-er! (i'll mention the flat bit at the bottom Gregster :wink:

)

Bushwacker is buying the FateO Range Runners off me for a very friendly FOG member discounted price

(his son is an apprentice at the VX main dealer a mate of mine works at

Small world!!) He's meeting me there for a wheel swopping party Sat at 11-ish. Dropping Fronty down there tonight for a sleep over incase I'm a bit late back...

He's (Bushwacker) asked about the 6th.. he's not a million miles away from 'the secret location'.... and said it looks like fun... might be one more for the clan? I'll have a chat on Saturday..

:dance:

I Got new wellies - :dance:

i got new wellies... :dance:

i got new wellies!!! Look out puddles - Here I come... :dance:

John - With a grin....

John,

Call it a hunch if you like, but I'm getting this vague impression you're pleased with yourself at the moment, hehe.. Seriously though, glad you've got some new boots on the car, hope you won't mind if I poke at em a bit on the picnic, as Lara needs new ones, and possibly Holly before much longer too.
Halfway tempted to wander up to your wheel swapping party actually, see if your mate can get discounted wheel bearing stuffs, lol..

See you on the 6th though bud,
Jim

I am now frontyless, Unless I can get myself another I may not be able to get to this one and if I do make it there in a fronty, it will not be
offroad ready.

Yep...9am start at Notcutts...gonna be a good-un!!!

6.30?????
Is there one of them in the morning as well?????
Blimey...learnt something today... :shock:

will be a lay in for you Jim.... :lol:

I will set my alarm for 6.30, so that when it goes off, I can laugh, roll over, and go back to sleep for another hour or so!!! :twisted:

Jim,
Where would you rather be on a Sunday Morning in December..... in a nice cosy warm bed with a slice of toast, a cuppa and the sunday papers!

or

Up to your armpits in mud while standing on a 1:1 slope - in a gale - with the sleet, rain and hail coming in horizontally, bleeding from the skinned knuckles aquired while trying to get that last inaccessable blXXdy shackle undone after being dragged sideways up a hill (and being photographed / videoed throughout for the post Picnic Review)

Hmmmm - need i say more.... I'll bring the plasters and a camera!

Will it be Holly or Lara? See you at 9 for a tyre fondle... Did I mention I've got new tyres :dance:

I'm sure i must have... :butt:

John

Next thought...

I'm assuming the Fog-B-Q will be back at the next picnic, yes?? Whether it still looks the same is another matter, mind. So saying, who brings what?? Else we'll end up with 3 million burgers again, hehe

3 Million Burgers... Gregster could never eat that many..... in a single sitting :lol:

Good idea about meeting up, Fleet services or the Industrial estate by J4 (or Sainsburys?) all's good for me!

PM me (it'll save gumming this thread up) :mrgreen:
