Coney Green Wonderfull

Post by crazydiamond »

What a brill weekend as always. Many thanks to the whole committee for organising a brilliant weekend, hope the virgins enjoyed it as much as I did. Two dead tyres and a broken gear stick must be something of a record for least breakages on a 4X4 weekend. Sorry Andy S totalled his engine on the way to CF but good to see him with a grin as wide as his ears after a turn or two. Long distance record must go to Si (Toomanytoys) so Russell lost it this time! (Lovely gold Westy) I will send all my pics vids to Jenny very soon......

Don't know yet but the oil came out very quickly, did not hear anything wrong just lost pressure. It left a thick black trail between fast lane and hard shoulder so i am expecting a big hole.

Oh! We're back, just, and very tired...

BUt must say thanks to everyone who helped out in one way or another, and that pretty well means everyone who attended and those that went the xtra mile know who they are...

Just one special mention as everyone was superb, is Andy Mc for calling by Friday to load up the barbecue on his Sika and make sure we got to Bicester without incident (but Oh! so slowly)...

Sorry about the wind and the act-of-god PC2, if I'd had me wits about me coming down the hill I would have photoed 'the mounting from behind' for posterity but as it was, we thought we'd rescue your trailer tent from the evilm Spragman's clutches before even more damage was done...

Fun weekend indeed... and avoided getting bitten by that mangy creature at the farm once again this afternoon - one day that chain will break and I'll be mincemeat - maybe a good idea to go somewhere else next time, perhaps it will expire before it gets me
:wink:

I'm knackered so this will be brief........... hehehe ...... as if!

Took loads of pics, Hacksawbob lent me his blingtastic camera and i was drooling, however this was my first trip to Coney Farm and the first time I had driven a Syncro.......... :D WOW fantastic fun, scary, exhilarating and powerfull....... respect.......... but I would never be able to afford one.
Many many thanks to Clive, Jenny, Roger, Julia for organising the weekend and Andy for sorting the Doka. Russel for the expertise and his droolablility Seriously sexy Syncro.... and the opportunity to co-pilot in it!!!..Heaven on earth.

We had the most fantastic weekend, the blindfold challenge was a giggle and an eye opener for those who took part. Andy Simpson was inspiring and with me a co-pilot even decided to try it in reverse!!
The winners were Syncro Pete's Super trendy, rather cool and funky parents, John and Vickie and their rather nice Syncro camper.... ( Clive take note for Jenny please!!)

THANK_YOU all for a great time and great company....see you all soon.x

Piccis....

Thanks to everyone who made it happen Clive and Jenny for organising a great event yet again. I really enjoyed myself, pictures are up loading to my Flicker site as I write this. I'm sure I bought a bahji and a samosa at the butchers but I cant find them anywhere! I got a few decent pics in there If any one want A4 sized enlargements of any of them I can print these out at home now on my super duper new canon printer. £4.00 each to cover P+P ink and paper.

heres some of my favourites, I think there are over 100!
see them here
