Totally unacceptable Roger, the Panda has to come too, as well as a huge slice of Julia's banana cake, though the carrot cake may well substitute

That cake was goooood.

What can I say......it must have been the friendliest Syncro weekend so far. Fantastic, the committee did us proud. Those trials DH and I think Euan sorted were awsum (is that how you spell it?) I bottled out on No1 on saturday, but it was brilliant on sundaay (Thanks Clive for Donaald Doka)
Roger, what can I say, Phil sends a really big thanks for the short loan of the Panda hes hooked now.
Pole dancing, mud more mud and great people what more could you ask for.

Surely I must win the award for greatest damage.......although I stripped the door and popped a fair bit of it back out during my lunchbreak today - didn't smash the window, but I reckon I'll leave the rest of it cos it's a bit close for the hammer, and you can open it again now, you don't need anything else really....

HUGEST of thanks to Sam - you truly are the most time generous man I've ever met.....just always remember to use the right side of the hacksaw blade...

Also Thank you to -
Thomas for the replacement gearstick and the GSF run
BBB Andy for the detour to Aidan's en route and spending an hour trying to locate all the necessary parts to fix my gearbox seal
Aidan for the one hour telephone 'garage walk through' complete with hand gestures and turning round trying to explain to Andy where everything was
SyncroAndy for telling me my steering rack bushes were fine
Euan for spending an hour on his works phone trying to locate a gearbox seal and a vendor who was open, and for being Scottish
HacksawBob for not having a hacksaw, and Clive for having one
McGill for the pole dancing competition van
Julie for the pole dancing
Claire for having cold hands
Everyone who once again showed me that I didn't need to be down, however broken my van appeared to be, because actually, I have some totally top mates...

Thanks to everyone who made it happen.....

And Tonka - pull your trousers up hon! And send me a copy of that photo you took where you and Bob made me sit still for about 15 minutes.....

Can I add a thanks to all too!!

I had a great Saturday night, it was so hard to have to pull myself away on Sunday morning, first from the fire at about 3:30am and then from the event about 11am. I did get a bit of studying done

I want a Panda 4x4

Post by **Martin** » 03 Apr 2006, 21:46

yes the price of 4X4 pandas has rocketed since the weekend.

Thanks to all for a great weekend

And no thanks to Marcus I am still alive after he tried to kill us both on Saturday morning

But now my heart is slowly getting back to the way it use to beat

At least I now know that none of us suffer any heart problems

Cheeers again to all for a great time old and new faces

Oh yes I want one of them 4x4 panda's as well

was joking Russel, that is very valuable Coney Farm best mineral rich sand and clay, take it up my lotty, wash and scrape it off, grow vegetables in it, maybe try carrots this year! Gold dust - not to be washed down drains

Acquired a 'Chonda' petrol jetwash a while ago, once I get the friggin thing to start up reliably, I'll be happy as a pig in "pooh"

Anyone good at translating Chinglish instruction manuals? quite inscrutable it is, very economical with meaningful words of wisdom.

Till then, that lovely red stuff is staying glued to my radius arms... and there's lots of it, all mixed up with sheep "pooh"

great weekend, not much more to say that hasn't been said above. Crying shame I was too busy moving out the way to capture Marcus getting it sooooo so wrong on my phone.

Good challenging terrain, very little damage (cept a bent roof, n I can't see that so it doesn't count), good company, can't grumble

Have a few videos but nowhere to upload them just yet. .
