Richards video stuff

 

Looks good Richard, two points to raise though on the positioning.

 

1. Your face is too clear in the rear view mirror (don't want to see you poking your nose, and smile a bit more! See point two).

2. Your speedo is too clear (and so is your face).

Can I request email addresses and mobile phone numbers for all the drivers please?

 

Some have passed their info already, I plan on having a list of everyone's details to share should someone get totally lost.

 

I have menu's to email for food on various days.

 

Thanks

No I'm sure it'll be fine... it will ... it will.. it will

 

Beside any more than an inch of snow and I can use my front number plate as a plough

Nice one Ozz.

 

As if it was fate...... When I put my Zero into the garage this afternoon I kicked a container sticking out between 2 storage trolleys.

 

 

Yep you guessed it ..... it was my old snow chains!!!!

Right then tool kits for the trip what is everybody taking. I don't see the point in everybody bringing a set of spanners or 3/8th drive socket set so that we have 11 sets, maybe everybody wants to take all there own tools what's the opinion, or just a breakdown card. So is it an idea that we can coordinate a list of tools to take and divvy it up between us may cut down a bit on weight and allow a bit more storage for other things .

[Guest iank]

I've got a small tool kit that live behind the drivers seat:

 

Common spanners

3/8 socket with common sockets

Pliers,

tape,

knife etc

 

Useless green gunge and pump for puntures

 

Apart from that its a breakdown card.

[Guest iank]

Who's bringing one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151170044363

 

I thought you were

 

P.S. I like the sub-heading "winter is on the way "
