Who's got a big bbq they can bring, mine never made it home last year unless someone else has it

And don't forget ste's top tip, fetch a bucket to fill with water for a beer cooler!

Mine went to the tip a couple of months back. If we all chip in a few quid we can just buy a cheap one

I have one of these you can use if you want to. Although I may not be camping I can still bring it along for you to use.
You will have to assess if if is big enough for all your meat though. Sizes are on the link.

i've got a bbq its quite a bit smaller than the old one but it was less than a fiver!
i've also got the genny going, but it don't like old transformer type battery chargers, it wil run new power supplys or chargers like ste's ctek, and has a built in 10 amp battery charger might be best putting it close to the race control tent but we can take it in turns on that, i'll get 20l of petrol too for the mower and gennny i've also got a weed wacker to do the edges again, a gayzeebea and a box of firewood

coooool. Maybe if someone else brings a small BBQ as well we'll be okay? Ive got some charcoal and ligher blocks that I'll bring.

I might be able to sort some fire wood too. Also have a gazebo (no sides tho) and a couple of LED lanterns






sshhhhh.....


and If I get time Im going to try and make a longer jump thats more suitable for revo's and the likes..... :D




Last night was spent stripping the revo down (see the facebook event page for piccys) - poor thing was in a state! Plan was to replace the damaged skid plat and front bumper, then do some jump experimentation. BUT, I found more broken parts - the rear diff housing had a massive crack in it, a mounting lug broken off, and a pivot pin mount smashed off. Driveshafts didn't look too clever either. Ordered the parts, putting it back together could be a challenge!!!

Maybe a second rake? And a strimmer?

Earplugs if you wanna sleep are a good idea!

Good news-revo is back together :)

i've got a strimmer aka weed wacker that i'll be bringing with me and a rake. take the diffs out of the mgt, the front diff has been shunted back about 5mm, bending the chassie, snapping 2 of the diff case bolts, and putting an impressive dog leg in the remaining 2 hopefully this explains the snapped cv joints

has anyone posted on oople about the steam fair?

Hopefully I should have a new set of wheels and tyres for the revo in time! Modelsport let me down - In stock meant one pair in stock. Wheelspin models have hopefully come to the rescue! order placed yesterday!


and a fairly big jump to play with.... :D

Looks like I have a passout for the weekend. :)

Not sure I can camp though, I will bring a rake and If you need my BBQ let me know and I'll bring it and you can use it. I'll bring a gazeebo too.

Weather looks good for Sat, bit iffy for Sun?

I've got a rake I can bring too.

Who has all the race stuff - it will need a charge.
Also, with more interest this year I thik the Club's transponders will need a charge for the sunday too. If I don't camp I can charge them over night if need be.
