Eastnor Castle
Hi All, whos going to Eastnor castle on the 10 and 11 this month? :D
what's up?
the "other side" have their event then...
http://www.landroverworld.co.uk/content/show06.htm
i understand the GWOA has a stand there normally
Yes, the club will have a stand at the show. I'll get some more deatails and post them.
I wonder, does that mean club organisers get free entry? 8)
GWOA members who wish to attend will be reimbursed the entrance fee, but we will need the entrance receipt.
This goes for either day tickets or weekend camping tickets.
If you want to camp the weekend please let us know.
Do you know what vehicles are going to be displayed, I have spoken to the organisors and they have confirmed they will allow 7.
I hope BRIXMIS 1 & 3 will be there!
i believe howard green has sent out a number of tickets, he may know how many and who are going to turn up and what vehicles are likely to be on the stand
Have fun lads , it will be hot , hot, hot,
Think of me and black country laners wild camping by a lake in mid Wales .
then laning in the sun .
Twodogs
Hello guys,how far is that from romford essex?

Mid Wales, you'll only be a few miles away, pop down for a brew & flap jacks. :lol: :D
sounds good to me.might convince my mate shakir and mark vulture to join me.(Not seen Bill Moss for months, so it should be a great dayseeing him there too)ITS AT TIMES LIKE THIS I WISH MY G WAS IN THE UK AND NOT NORTH CYPRUS!!
OK Chaps I finaly got the nod and the BRIXMIS G is now a permanent part of my collection, the agreement is that I have to display it a certain number of times a year and at the IWMs request take it to certain fund raising events, there is still a lot of detail work to be done to get it 100% ready for the big debut show at Duxford on the 18th,
Having just completed a hair raising F3 event in France ( see channel 4. 7-30 Sat morning next) I am going to burn the midnight oil for the next few nights. If poss I will give the GWOA the privelage of the first public showng but I think it only fair to say that if it,s not ready then Duxford will have to take priority, let me thank now the people that have made the completion of this project possible. Number one the list is twodogs with out whom this would have been abandoned on some of the dark cold nights, 2 is a guy called Dave Picton ex BRIXMIS who despite his attempts to be Mr nasty is a great guy and one of the band of brothers wether he likes it or not, and of course Bob Eggar one day I will reveal all about him.
History will be made at Eastnor, the first time a British Army Cold War Mission vehicle has been displayed in public and its a G Wagen.
I think this crowns your collection, perhaps the G with the most history out of them all! I just hope I can make it to either of those shows, pity each is 100miles from here...
[quote pity each is 100miles from here...
Should have bought a diesel :D
Lol true, but I couldn't sacrifice the acceleration for economy (unless it was the 320CDI, acceleration AND economy)
The sites very quirt ... everybody must be prepping there G for the weekend .
dont forget plenty of water and floppy daft hats are the syle of the day .
have fun
Cliff
yes, and here's the proof of richards rescue vehicle, as soon as he heard a landrover was stuck, he new what he needed.
notice the people in the back ground wondering wether Richard had made the right choice
but richard had no success so then Howard our chairman decided he would have a go with something a bit better. :lol: :lol:
however all to no avail, so richard had to bring something with a little more grunt, in the guise of a G400cdi.
YOU AINT SMILING RICHARD< YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD KEEP SMILING. :P :P :P :P
for those who didnt attend there is a competition if you can guess who had new tyres fitted at the show, a hint ?, had trouble in france last month. the prize
HIS OLD TYRES :wink:
The pictures posted reflect the level of interest shown. not an event I would support again.
The second year of this event and it was more poorly organised than last.
Despite it being advertised as a all makes event it is no doubt LR biased
Big thanks to Chris and Fred for organising the food and tea, great to see mates and have a chat.
Give a man a new camera, and he thinks he’s David Bailey. :wink: :lol:
Great weekend, sun, bbq’s, beer, G Wagens and cold showers. What more could you ask for.
A good display of 8 G’s, 460’s, 461 & 463’s, long and short WB.
As always good to see everyone, and a huge thanks to Chris and Fred for looking after us all so well.
If you take away all the mud, it looks very similar to one posted in another place on the back of a truck recently..beautiful colour!
Must be Roly (Mark) then! What's the tread depth on the old tires :p
I'm smiling now..... very funny :lol: :lol:
a big disapointment in turn out, nothing changes there then, same old faces but still a good natter with all who attended. Have a feeling the GWOA will be no more as of next year at this rate.

Sad to her this. :oops: Missing you all guys! :cry:
hey jesus, click on this link and see my website, its in its early stages but click on the movie page, this is what i was trying to send to you
I have some new-found respekt for you, now that I saw "Made on a Mac" on your site. Really looks like a pro-website, and thee best thing is the availability of G-Wizz online!
Also for hosting videos in future, you might want to consider putting them on video.google.com or videovat.com or youtube.com, as they host it for you, taking care of the bandwidth, and you can embed it (I think) into your page so it appears local.
Ian ,
thats a very classy site :D
Cliff
site is not yet finished, the pdf down load of the next g wizz letter is not finished either, this will be done soon and in the post to members over the next few weeks, hope to have more video's of events etc we have done including the recent eastnor show.
