Hi everyone

We're going to the Billing show. cheers

Is anybody else going?

I was told all the additional camping at Grange farm had sold out when I tried to book earier in the week - but they seem to have found some extra space - yippee!! So we are now booked in. Smile

The off-road course sounds good - has anybody been before? We've been on courses at Peterborough, Malvern, Driffield and Eastnor Castle, but not to Billing. :?:

BJ and I will be on the Team Tombraider stand, just around the corner from the Arena for quite a bit of the time.

If anyone wants stensils made up, £2 (either to us, or via justgiving.com) for DIESEL / PETROL, WATER ONLY, Team Name and number plate stensils, you can collect them there. kieran liked 'em, and it's for charity! MAY have spare DIESEL and WATER ONLY ones with me, but for personalised ones I need to know in advance to get them cut, so PM me.

Welcome aboard...

Speak to Tom and get a bright orange Landy Rally jumper from him. Then everyone will see you from miles around!!!

Look forward to meeting you.

Announcement about Billing coming very soon, making sure we can all meet up and not miss each other.

Personally, I reckon every trader, camper and visitor should wear a bright orange T-shirt/sweatshirt, and the Landy Rally teams should wear ... nothing at all! Nude/starkers/au natural. Might be scary, but think of the publicity! Not to mention the spin-off payments the girlies would receive from the Sunday Sport for the 'exclusive photo shoots'!!!

A fertive mind or stark raving mad - you decide. bounce

Wooo Hooo... That sort of idea could only come from Tom. However, now its in the open... Would it be wrong to charge Jo Public an entrance fee to see what all the commotion was about??? Im thinking funds for Tommy's Baby charity would rocket....
cheers

Is there a 'Landy Ladies' section in one of the mags?! Shocked

I think I'll stick with the orange sweatshirt idea... sunny

Look forward to meeting you all.

Thanks
Clare

Not yet, but if it could raise money for charity, I'll put it on a website!

You've seen the Calendar Girls, how about "The Landy Girls" charity calendar?
I have a very good camera Wink

I will volunteer my services FOC if only to make sure pervy Tom doesn't get a front row seat lol!

Subject: Re: Billing L R show Mon Jul 09, 2007 8:52 am

Re calender, already underway! we had a chat with Tom a while back about it (Tom do you remember?)
We have been making some enquires as to the last date it needs to be done, ideally after the rally so we can use the rally pictures!

Not so sure about nudity, sounds fun, but painful if the wrong bit's need repairs on the landy, all sorts of things could get caught, and where to you keep your spanners? lol!

Welcome to the mad house clare, are you gonna post on the team and vehicles pages so we know who you are, what your driving, charity etc?

Hi Claire

Welcome to the madhouse :flower:

There are more blokes than girls, so I think they should do the calendar! Tom stuck in the snow in his Astra would be perfect for December! santa

Mmmmm, your post could easily link in with my post in General Chat about erect nips!

Think you should reconsider which sex will be doing December! Wink

Subject: Re: Billing L R show Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:56 pm

Well, it would seam that i'm not ment to get to any of the shows this year, sadly i've not been able to get either day off, too many weddings this weekend apparently, and no onw willing to do a shift swap Crying or Very sad

Hope you all enjoy billing, and any volunteers, i need a small box, or tin, small ammo tin maybe be of use, but needs to be a specific size, of which i can't remember, but i will get tomorrow!

Ah well, i guess at least i'll be earning money instead of spending it!

:arrow:

Subject: Re: Billing L R show Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:04 pm

ebay is good for ammo tins but it can take some hunting for good ones.

look forward to meeting you in September.
Hope work is okay
Clare & Will

Subject: Re: Billing L R show Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:52 am

Yeah thanks for that, is hard to find a box the right size,

Talking of which, dimentions required are 460mm x 250mm x 150mm

(also don't want to pay anymore than about £15)

Hi Steve, I think I may hve a box to suit.

Subject: Re: Billing L R show Tue Jul 24, 2007 3:26 am

Got back from Billing late last night (Monday). WHAT A WEIRD WEEKEND! Torrential rain Thursday and Friday turned the site into a complete mud-bath. This in turn meant that my tour of traders for the Landy Rally teams on Friday was farcical, and with the ground conditions turning forever worse, it was not much better on Sat and Sun. It got to the stage Sunday that even trying to walk from A to B was a nightmare with all the mud.

Still, it was good to meet the new teams, several of which turned up along with the ‘old faces’ – I feel as if I’ve know people like BJ, Andybloke, Lu, Tweedie, etc. for years already (this does not seem to read right – it’s a good thing I assure you), not to mention the folk from Venture Overland and Custom Vinyl, yet it has only been since about February this year! So much has gone on over these past few months, and we still have Landy Rally to come. Better build up my energy levels methinks!

Anyway, the teams I did manage to meet seemed to enjoy themselves, and either through myself or independently, managed to spend a small fortune on bits and pieces for their steeds. Don’t forget, if you after a particular piece of kit, ask me first and via the discount scheme I have established with a host of 4x4 traders, I can either introduce you via email or point you in the right direction and you can do your own thing. On large, expensive items like winches, roofracks, suspension systems, tyres and so forth, I could even phone the proprietor of the company in question and ask them personally what they can do for you. As I say, don’t hesitate to ask me first about this … or anything!

Hey Lucky Trucker, excellent, what dimensions do you have?? thanks.

Tom, i'm after a hiclone, paddocks and Scopion sell them, not sure of any others, what do you think? any contacts?
