Thanks for organising such a great day Mike,had a lot of fun,also sorted out my door.
Stopped on the way home in a garage to jet wash the Deli,two economy washes,one for each side,then drove away quickly leaving about half a ton of mud on their forecourt,won't call there again for a while

Thanks to all who organised the meet.
Although we had to leave at lunchtime due to family dinner we had a great time on the rough (apart from completely knackering my tow bar step, now removed!!) didn't have time to wash the beast so still covered in cack. I think a few non-Deli owners were quite surprised how well our buses did.
Had so much fun have spent the last hour or so looking at SJs on ebay!
Roll on the next time!!

Good time was had by all and I done both :?
Hit a garage jet wash and left REALLY quickly and when I got home also had a barrow of mud off the drive.....But worth it

Great day out Red. Thanks for organising it.
My Deli seemed to stay remarkably clean. I don't think i was trying hard enough although my knackered licence plate might say otherwise. Anyway, who decided to put it in such a biffable place?
Well i lasted all day with out any breakdowns or mechanicals until i got to Easton in Gordano services. Stuffed my face with a burger and fries and went to start the Deli and... nothing!
The earth had popped off the battery terminal after going over a teeny weeny speed bump going into the services so would'nt start!
Bit wierd after all the bumping and bouncing about during the day.
Anyway, great day, really enjoyed it... Same time next month...??? |

Hi Mike
Absolutly great day! Only minor damage to my towbar electrics outlet ...Must put it on top of the towbar rigger for next time and also reshape my bashplate underneath the Deli as it really earned its keep today.
Drewdrop was right ..stupid placing for a number plate when off roading mine got a wee bit damaged too.
Thanks to all for a great day and excellant company

This is a good company for license plates for anyone that might need one (drewrpope )
I found them to be among the cheapest around as they don't charge for extras. I had 3D lettering, a border, a flag and the slogan "Happy as a Paj in mud" on mine all at no extra charge _________________

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves :D
I haven't been able to get on line to check these posts lately(Broadband supplier probs )
I will try to contact Gemma (magazine assistant Ed) and see if she can give us a sneak preview of the pics. I just hope there are not lots of me getting stuck (she did ask if i could provide some good pics, so i did my best to oblige )
BTW the bash plate mod is all home made, welded on some steel chequer plate _________________
