fffff---firepit, will be in the truck for sure, does anybody want a pair of 220 mm.diam. spotlights,by the way, these are nearly 9" tall so they are large, I bought them recently after damaging one of my previous lamps but found they are too big to fit in-between my bull bar.
I still need a smaller pair of lamps 185mm max, thats 7" in old money boys!! and would be willing to swop/px if anybody has a spare set lying around.
I am sure there are many of you out there that would prefer the 9" model.
Will have the lamps with me at Coney,let me know if anyone is interested. :ok

We'll be there too. I been out replaced clutch slave cylinder and glued the MAF back together offer being sold sold the wrong one.

I haven't had time to fit roof bar supports and roof bars so I will be without a Hi lift and waffles. I don't want to carry them inside the van with the family in there. I have recovery rope and spade so I hope that's okay.

We can't leave Surrey until about 6pm so we will be arriving late. Again I hope that's okay? If not we can stop off somewhere on route.

Looking forward to it! :ok

Ref the firewood, doesn't Neil normally bring a saw?

Just as you're all loading up ... anyone want to pop a military towbar (4 bolt version) and a rear cab hoop for the project. Galvanising happening next week, 8kg below weight atm - and that's everything that can be unbolted underneath a diesel syncro.

AND AND rear off side wheel spat

Oh yeah, pickup drives nice now that I've serviced the brakes, replaced a broken rear spring and fitted poly steering rack bushes.
