  1. Would love to have seen the faces of the gang cleaning up this morning, chucking all the rubbish on the remains of the bonfire when they chucked a box full of unused fireworks onto the burning embers. :rofl: :rofl: :help: :crazy: :shok: :shok:

    saw it happen, just on my way to the gents when they went off, everyone scatted like scared rabbits going in every direction apart from one old guy whos army training must have kicked in, cos he just dived straight down on the ground until all had stopped, then he popped his head up to see if the coast was clear, then got himself up and brushed himself down whilst everyone gave him a big cheer, well done that man, bring back conscription I say, it may have just saved his life :good:

  2. hi agent-zed, I use the toolstation ones most of the time at work, on new house builds, find them ok, I use them in my mitre saw also in my circular saw and get quite a lot of use out of them, that is until I go through a few nails but for the price not too bothered, cheap enough to replace, end of the day it all depends on what your cutting, hth ivan

  3. hi all, can't add much more to what has already been said, just that andrea and myself had a fantastic weekend, relaxed, quiet and chilled out, a good time had by all by the sounds of it, also andrea managed to get sun burnt, don't know how, she was in bed sleeping most of the time, really enjoyed the treasure hunt, and just generally chatting with people, definitely up for it next year, also car ran like a dream, best part of 280 miles without a hitch, about 10 miles of that was andrea driving round and round and round and round the show ground, says she might even drive it to the next local meet, thanks again ivan+andrea also says andrea---- only 2 hours to get home this time instead 15!!!!

  4. hi all, camping at hollowell is it Friday and Saturday night? also andrea fancied doing a slow cooked beef stew for Saturday night with crusty bread, what do people think? have noticed that phil has mentioned a bbq on Saturday night, if that's already sorted then we can leave the stew, aiso have any members got remote controlled cars? or other vehicles, could get races going, I have a nitro buggy I thought I would take, not used it in a while though, might need to tinker with it, :drinks: Ivan

  5. hi all, Monday afternoon and just got home, had a fantastic weekend starting on Thursday evening and finishing today(3 different campsites) agree with all other posts about donington, probably biggest and best turn out of cars and members over the whole weekend, lots of campers on both nights and as for the food on Saturday night was a club effort with others contributing with what they could, not just andrea and myself doing it all (we can't do garlic breads), we see it as being a way that the club members can all have a get together in one group and put names to faces,have a chat, and a good laugh, a big thanks to mo and bob for dessert two big trifles in a tent was quite an achievement, THANK YOU, good to hear shaun got home ok with no issues, and to top it all off we have done about 180 miles this weekend bobbing about here and there (I know it's not much compared with some members) without a single problem, again that's thanks to a fantastic helpful club(who sorted my mechanical problems out) of which i'm proud to be a member of, thank you all, now looking forward to the national meet, cheers ivan and andrea (and yes she does like the odd bottle of red now and then)

  6. hi all, we're going to donington on Friday, just wondered if anyone else is and are you all meeting up somewhere and travelling in convoy to the show, we are starting Friday from matlock (camping there Thursday night) I think we can get in after 12 and not before, cheers ivan

  7. thanks Stephen, thanks nick, yes fetch your pots if you have room, i'm sure they will come in handy, if anyone wants to contribute they could provide pasta breads and cheese, we've got the Bolognese sorted, just let us know who wants to get what so that we don't end up with lots of one thing and little of something else, don't know how many we're catering for so we will estimate around 30, cheers ivan
