Billing 2008

hello,
it was a good fun show, and it was great to meet up with new faces and teams,

it was nice to see inside the bling mobile and see what comfort and style in a land rover is all about,

got home safe and well using the horn plenty of times with VW campers they have some cool horns.

cheers kieran

Think we only passed half a dozen Landy's and hundreds of VW campers...never knew as many of them still existed!!!!....must admit some of them looked pretty cool - just not my thing though!!

PS these horns are soooooooooooooooo annoying!!!!

Hi everyone

Great to meet you at Billing - shame I missed some folks but was working too so couldn't play all the time!

Any good photos that can be shared??

i agree when pressed all the time, even more so when it wont start afterwards

after i pulled off the switch simon had to reach over to the wires and touch them must of looked quite dodgy

Really good meeting you all at Billing - new and old friends alike.

Just got back (well, late-evening Monday night) so food and a good scrub down were the priority, then the forum - most unusual for me.

Won't list all of you as the list is growing longer every day, but the tremendous response makes me even determined to start the "Landy Rally Club" - more news of that anon.

One special mention though as I don't think any of us have seen him since September 2007 - Mark of Team Landrovers and Wine. Really good to see you again mate, and glad the wine tours have gone well. Nice Landy you have now. Yes the Series III was great fun, but the expedition-prepared 110 has to be a good move for the miles you cover. Besides, the coils can take more bottles than leaf springs!

Disappointed we never saw BJ (apparently he was on the Tomb Raider club stand but can't say I ever found it - where were you hiding???) and poor ol' Andybloke who despite all the text messages he sent me threatening to turn up, in the end had to work. Never mind Andy, we'll all meet soon 'cause as Lady V points has pointed out - it's only 6 WEEKS TO GO!!! Arghhhhhh!!!!

Hold on, surely it must be longer? It is, more like just under 8 weeks. Strange calendar you have there V!

Anyway enough waffle, I'm off to me nice comfy bed. Nite all.

He's in Italy - a bunch of the Tomb Raider owners went off on a mountain driving and camping trip on Thursday.

Im pretty sure we sold a nice new Patriot Rack to one of that party too. Small world!

A sinister black one of course. That'll look good atop a Tombraider.

Certainly would explain why 'the felt hat' wasn't around. Shame he doesn't still have the Google Earth thingy still operating on Lara Live, could follow progress.

Cant resist the plug... Think you mean our "Tiny Tracker" Tom!!! It does all that and more :bom: :bom: :bom:

Tom - I'm working off the same clock Bill used, when he woke you up this morning.....

Confused - I am - especially as coincidentally it really is 12.30 now yet the forum says it's 11.30!

Good to meet you V. Never did find the Protrax stand like I promised myself. Was the Cobley around? BTW, did you ever see the Pratrax stickers that some wag had made when Vince first set up Protrax? Made us titter at the time.

At least you all knew that the forum had a clock!!! Its taken me until now (18 months!!!!) to figure that out!

i was speaking to a tombraider man who was telling me about BJ's trip to the alps, and interestingly if you get LRM and look at page 209 theres a familiar face / landy and lots of mentions of the man himself, congrats BJ

Nice to put some names to faces!............And admire blings 110!!!

Stu

Likewise - about putting faces to names and admiring the Blingmobile. Much as I like to see motors caked in mud, have to admit it is rather pretty!

Who'd you talk to?

When I saw him last week (to discuss the wiring, obviously), he mentioned being mentioned in 3 different articles in that mag... The club Italy trip thing, the ex-pat Tomb Raider V8, and "um, something else"....

no idea who i spoke to, the first person i came to as i was giving toms flyers out,,

he had longish blonde hair, was young, about 20ish maybe abit more, off to uni in september
runs a tombraider 90 but wants to sell it in order to buy something cheaper to run

any help?

Come on K, can't you be more precise?

he definatly had two legs, two arms and a head

Not a cone-head like you ... and me ... and Fred.
