Any events/outings etc planned?

I will be in the UK for a few weeks, coming in the syncro so could be up for a pay and play or a trip out here and there, work load permitting!!!

Will be in Slough, for my sins....

Nothing in the Syncronauts diary as yet Si; we decided to give Coney Farm a break this autumn as some suggested there was little novelty left in that site.

Some may be doing some laning indepenently.....

Well why dont you grab a few others and get yourselves over to Ireland. Me and Syncropaddy here have been trying to organise a do but it got feck all interest for some unknown reason.

I wonder why?
The ferry is a bloody rip off....
for a lot.. its a blommin drive and a half.. (even more so for me..

)
I lived and werked in Dublin for 1 year..... The price of Guiness is silly..

Biggest problem is prob time... its a hard weekend for a Fri - Sun night ferry..

Mmmmm... Well if you get the ferry to Rosslare the drive is only a half an hour to get to Killinick. A lot of us Irish do a trip to the UK once a year for vanfest, volksworld or whatever. And in Wexford you'd pay €3 max for a Guinness.

Go on, you know you want to!

SyncroPete is up near Cambridge too... and still keen on a few locals getting along to the Devils Pit North of Luton...

Im in Ely too. And there are plenty of lanes around here if you fancy it.

Will be interesting to see what a syncro can do - not sure if you have the ground clearance for some of the rutts. Still, the challenge is to drive round them.....

sounds like we have a plan then.. just let me get settled at this contract.. and see what we can sort..

Oh by the way Clive, I laid the workshop floor today... just gotta get the benches built and the leccy in... then its gearbox stripping...

Post by **HarryMann** » 26 Sep 2006, 00:11

hehe, excellent. Big sheet of white paper on an even bigger worktop, lots of bits to lay out ... laying floors and getting workshops kitted out for action, you and Pete will have a lot t talk about. Tamping techniques?

Post by **toomanytoys** » 26 Sep 2006, 16:51

Yep, wanted to catch up with him at VF, didnt....

But as he is in an area I regular go, we should be able to...

I am bloomin aching today though!!!

it was only 3.5M x 10.5M!!!
dunno how I shall get a good finish on the main workshop.. 10M X 6M..

Just have to see what the plan of work is and see if I get a day or 2 off...

Good stuff - let me know....

There is a pay and play day at tixover quarry on the 21st - but thats probably a bit too far for you (Near Stamford on the A1).
It's got a huge assent that the landy's sometimes struggle on due to not having front and rear diff locks - be good to see if a syncro can do it!
