Hello from Team T 'n' T

Hello. We're Craig and Louise Tweedie from Macclesfield, Cheshire. We finally sent our form off! This is our first rally and we're not too sure what to expect, but we can't wait. We're in a 200 Tdi Disco. Lu is 30 whilst we're away so we're also avoiding a full-on family party back home! Our charity is the British Stammering Association. Looking forward to meeting you all. September here we come!

Tweedie and Lu :bom:

Welcome the tweedie bunch!!

You don't have to be mad to fit in here, but it sure helps!!

This is our fist rally like this too, so we're just jumping right on in with both feet!

hmmm 30th eh? sounds like more of an excuse for parties........

Hello and welcome,

its our first rally too, cant wait

Monstar

And I now know the magic date when Lu hits the big 30

Strange that, I feel a party coming on as well. Remind me to ask CarpeDiem what wine he recommends.

Hello, and welcome from team Land Rovers and wine!

This is our first rally as well, should be great fun, can't wait.

As for wine, being a Lady, has to be bubbly, try; Cuvee Du President 2000, a very nice Brut and it's a gold medal winner. Cheaper that Moet, and has a fair better taste!

Or, what has to be one of the best Rose I tasted in recent times, the; Visionario Rosato 2006.

Good luck, and see you in September,
Best regards, Mark

Hey, Hi there, its our 1st rally too and we are also diving in boots and all!!
:pig:
Looking forward to seeing you out there, will definitely drink a beer for you in every country we pass thru' to celebrate a happy 30th!!

Have to watch the strengths of those Belgium beers though - 8% is not uncommon.

Mind you, that said there is a beer sitting in front of me at the moment that is a whole lot stronger. Brewed by the Trappist monks at the Abbey St Remy it's called Trappistes Rochefort ... 11.3% vol. The date on it is 20.05.03, do you reckon it's about ready for comsumption? I'll try it tonight and let you know - IF I'm still alive and kicking in the morning that is.

Typical shandy drinking cockerney!

Hello

Cheers for all the drinking advice :star: I'll have a good go at following it, although Tweedie seems to think wine is for cleaning windows. Discuss.... He once ordered some Cognac in a very posh hotel and when they asked if he wanted VSOP, VS etc., he asked if they had Sainbury's own! So we're not too sophisticated on the drinking front! Bitter and Rum (T) and Tia Maria / Cherry Brandy (Lu). Should be cheap in Andorra though.

Lu :bom:

Bitter & rum ... strange combination?

Ahoy there mateys welcome abord.from the SELSEY SHARKS.

Looks like we have a fine bunch of first timers,as its my first one too

Thanks for all your welcomes! We finally have a website, although it's still under construction, but we're nearly there! It's at www.freewebs.com/tntlandyrallyteam . We've never created a website before, so we've nicked lots of ideas from everyone elses! Cheers! We hope it's ok.

Lu and T :bom: :bom:

Like the website, great pics!

All the best,
Land Rovers and wine

Hi

Website looks great - I have added a link to your site from the main landyrally site.

Cheers

Thank you.

Lu :bom:

Yay! We got our first sponsor today! Millets in Macclesfield have donated a load of camping gear for our rally efforts! It was lots fo fun choosing the gear. Lots of thanks to Nic and the team there www.millets.co.uk

On the downside we got outbid with seconds to go - twice in two days on ebay! I hate that!

Lu :bom:

Excellent News guys, what did you get??

I hate the ebay sniping thing, although i am often the culprit! hope it wasn't me this time!

Congratulations, you are miles ahead of me in planning and its all going to suddenly creep up on me. I have not started contacting potential sponsors but I think I will be getting my arse in gear this week!

Good effort!

Glad your making progress.
All the best, mark
