Broken Firebar

17th October 2009 08:04 PM

I just like them all, and am quite happy playing with other peoples toys while my own are in dock as it were.

It was good to get Mrs BF and the little firebars involved. Sarah and myself have done a lot of road miles over the years (pre children) and she never seems to get a look in at the rallys anymore, because we are always well crewed up.

A very pleasant weekend.

Perhaps she will get her hands dirty next year roading a little black Fowler about!

All Joking apart mate it's always nice to know that the engine is in good hands when one is busy:)

Even if the brass needs a good seeing to the week after!;)

I was happy both at GDSF & Joe Nemeth's looking after a 3 inch freelance while its owner went off with his camera, while my own 2 inch is locked up some 200 miles away.

BC was a very pleasant weekend, just as you and your colleagues made this years GDSF much more enjoyable than or first visit last year.

Mrs Lampwortroy likes to get her hands dirty too. Just show her ANY engine and give her a rag and gets cracking - then demands a ride or a steer as compensation!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUSY!!! you say!!!! You never stopped!
It is good to know that so many locals in BC seem to think that you do it all for them. It is good to be appreciated by the folks attending the event.

Roy, when are you down again this year as you mentioned Scotland tour first. What are your planned rally dates down South, are you bringing your engine?

By the way I have realigned my water pump.
