About 1 hour 45 mins for me to meet you and about 30 minutes to get from our meeting point to JBT's.

I was planning on being at Jbt's for around 3 - 4pm ish.

Well proccy has his kids until 2pm and when I got home earlier, I found that one of my fence panels has broken and come out of its slots frown We have extremely strong winds here at the moment.

I've been outside until 12.40 am trying to sort it, but I can't, so will have to try and do it later, when the wind dies down a bit and before I meet you grr

Can we make it 2.30 pm? Just gives me an extra half an hour to get my fencing sorted before I leave.

he was really shook up. got him and the car home, it doesnt look as bad as it could have been exterior wise, he has a spare car to use as a donor, just hoping the roof is too bad. fingers crossed think kbt will help him out. i would but im totally useless.

The chaps name is Johnny who's a good friend of mine,.
Absolutely gutted for him,bloody heartbreaking the mess its made to the car.
Well done Johnny for keeping control of the car at that speed,and although its no consolation the main thing is that your okay.
Keep your chin up pal and i will see you tomorrow to assess the damage.


As above yes my gearbox failed again in dramatic style just coming off the bypass.
Not happy.

Thanks to Paul,Proccy, Theresa and all for the help towards this meet.

Had a great night out on the town on Saturday but still paying for it today,and i know Matt was laugh .

Nice seeing the distance was travelled by you all,London,Wales,B,ham,Bristol,Barnsley,and Leeds all made the trip.
Not the best of days under the circumstances but was definitely memorable.

See you all at the next meet.
