A bit far for me but wouldn`t have minded coming down as part of the road trip.
Bring your camera Tim and take some pictures of the gang, being careful to miss out Mr Bandit :P

If I`m not sobering up from the night before (which is likely) and not junior footballing I may join the convoy down there.

Er, what time is this likely to be occuring dude's? I'll happily mow your lawn Bandit, although, the last time I cut my lawn, I just set fire to it with a flame thrower, I kid you not!

Of course mate, don't worry, I gathered/hoped that would be the case!

Well done Tim!

Now you realise you must on pain of death bring it to Chris Salter's BX challenge at the CCC National Rally in the Summer?? We're trying to muster as many BX MK1s as possible!

Ker-ching! Correct James!

:-k:-k:-k:-k We'll leave the lawn shall we Doc? Besides, my mower isn't a 17 litres V24 Diesel so you'd prob get bored with a 3.5HP Briggs and Stratton...unless you rig up a Garrett to it..?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's a long way to come Billy but you're welcome....and not to worry, I'll make sure I take the picture so as to avoid appearances...it might scare our female members away :(

Bandits is cool for 1pm (well, anytime really) pub serves food all day so no particular rush.

Bluddy 'ell, the neighbours won't need to guess which house is hosting...they'll be 6 bloomin...sorry...a Buffonery of BXs on the estate!

Will send a PM Capri...
