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 8) (his son is an apprentice at the VX main dealer a mate of mine works at :o 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..

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

John, just for that, I ain't pulling your motor out if you get it stuck :butt:
Honestly, suggesting I have to get out of bed at 6:30 on a Sunday morning?? *shakes fist*

I'll do my best, hehe... Looks like a fun day is in order.

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:

Uhm, how about this John...
I think I'd rather be in bed with the two cars' namesakes :wink: Mind you, I can see the attraction of the mud though. I shall endeavour to drag my sorry carcass out of bed and up to Maidstone for 9am. *YOU* had best bring the tea, for suggesting such a daft idea. Thinking about it though, we should try and convoy up there, meet up in the business park right on the motorway roundabout perhaps??

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!
