Just a quick not to say thanks to the FOG group for making this weekend possible, even though I'm now a Pajero driver we were still made to feel very welcome.
Sadly was unable to do any offroading due to my RAD splitting while towing my caravan, but cheers to Huggy for taking us around and letting us have some fun.
We met a really good bunch of lads and lasses and we did not want to go home

I am now looking forward to the next meet.

I would just like to say a big Thank You to everyone who went, for putting up with Mrs H for the weekend! She said she had a great time.

Also thanks to Andy, Drift, Jim, Kel, Trugga and anyone I forgot, for looking at my truck, and your support

Finally got a sec to jump online, All I can say is WOW!! What a weekend away. It was great to meet some familiar faces again and to put some new faces to names. Myself and Gosia had a great weekend and a huge thanks must go out to everyone who helped organise and make the Annual such a success.

And a big thanks to Fatbaz for organising all the lanes and leading the group I was in on both days. Lovely scenery and countryside.

And my truck made it unscathed and one one tank of petrol Well a few more scratches
I'll upload some pics tomorrow when I get them online

Again thanks for a wicked weekend
The other half is still moaning her head hurts ( that will teach her to mix her drinks on an empty stomach ),
I feel sorry for the poor picnic table she abused
Got a few pics

A few lanes










After a lovely sunny weekend, I came back to Exeter to find this...


Will sort out some more pics and post later

I Carnot believe he just gunne it without a snorkel

[gregster]

Brain was firmly placed in glovebox...I figured the floatation properties of the tyres would work with a tadge of momentum...but alas no...

He who backs off is lost...make it or break it is the only way I understand!

Think I might have broke the site 5mph speed limit though

Must fit a snorkel or cabin breathing system for the engine though....me bad

Cool vids and pics Andy, just gag Kel before filming next time!

and glad we could get your truck sorted...

Hi All
Trust you all got back safe and sound It was really great meeting up with you all, seeing old friends and making new ones, being able to put names to faces was great ..Thank you all who made it )
A few thank you's first no particular order
Thank You to Andy for organising such a great event.. You never stop to amaze me )
Thank you to Rob and Audra ( Sorry if I have spelt your name wrong) And Ria for the BBQ and all the running about getting us all fed
Thank You to Bobby4x4 for sorting out my fuel pipe etc and Thank you to Jay for sorting out my cam belt for me and thank you to Fronty Dan for sorting my timing out for me .. I managed to get Gracie May up to 60 miles p/h on the way home yeah!
Thank You to Jason for organising the Trophies, they looked really nice

I did get lost 5 times!! on the way home, was heading up the motorway to Nottingham and then down to Rugby then trying to get out of the services carpark was a bit of a picnic and then I had it in my head I needed to go to Telford and I thought I could by- pass Wolverhampton but as it turned out I needed to go to Wolverhampton then Telford, I really must learn the routes better... It was really good to see the sign post to Welshpool I knew then where I was going ...


Sorry I didn't take any photos, but thanks to Rob Horses, he did download the photos from my camera from Chrissy and Bobbs' BBQ last year for me )
Thank you all and I can't wait for the next meeting )



Take care all
Cheers
Roo

Forgot to thank Colley for dragging me out of the mud and taking the ankle biters for a ride in his V6 - which from what they have said was better than a ride at Alton Towers

Not too much damage for me , just a foobarred towbar elecs , a missing engine guard and another one destroyed but hanging on (just).

[jason]

Box you for got one wheel cover

[BoxCleva]

That wasn't a wheel cover , that was fuel for the fire

Bl00dy hated that thing - which reminds me I need to order one of eBay

[gregster]

Almost feel guilty for encouraging you....but it looked poo and burnt well...

If we had known you were gonna rip off the belly plates we would have got you to burn them too!

[BoxCleva]

Bit gutted I lost the steel one, but the stooopid plastic one I would happily have contributed to the fire!

[gregster]

Was thinking of maybe doing some spare wheel covers with the burning fog logo airbrushed on like my tailgate...if you wanna be a guinea pig send me a cover and a fog sticker and I will knock something up...
Pink and green flames good for you Si??

And a few brain cells from the amount of beer he drunk, can't believe how early he was up lol

No worries mate it was my pleasure
As for your ankle biters it was nice to meet teenagers who have manners and do not swear every other word like the families and children i work with. They are welcome in my truck anytime
As for the v6 it may be for sale in the next couple of months after the news i had today at work

[Trugga]

You're most welcome Gem. Was great to talk cameras with another enthusiastic Canon owner. Be sure I've right clicked on a couple of your piccies.

I'm glad you ("wench" ) and stretch enjoyed the ride round - it's great to share some experiences.
