Did anyone catch the chap with the leaking fuel tank...

Yea, that was the hulk buggy. His fuel tank breather pipe decided to act as a siphon

Well after 6 and 1/2 hours I'm home (could have done it in 6 but had to make an emergency repair at my dad's - stupid pulley cover sheared yet another bracket).  Face feels all wind burnt and stuff

Thanks to all for a brilliant weekend - sorry Jazzy for the challenge Jazzy thread.  Next time you bring the wine, I'll bring the "lite" cheese.... 

For those who decided not to go because of the bad weather you missed a great weekend.

I must have covered about 650 miles this weekend - it was great...

Had an eventful ride home
6 miles past Kettering huge cloud of smoke as one of my professionally crimped oil hoses blew off dousing the exhaust, engine and back off buggy.
Switched off and got on the grass verge and ended up travelling home on a truck
Will get it fixed this week.

Good that it happened before IBW but a massive clean up to do

Bonus was where I broke down there was a colony of red kites putting on an aerobatic display for me, at one point 5 of them were showing off just for me.

Great weekend anyway, thanks Allen for the cruise, thanks Jazzy for the hospitality tent and thanks Micky for doing the washing up although you did miss mine.

Brilliant weekend had by us, and thanks to everyone that came along to make it so much fun. Yes, there was overnight rain that would have even made Noah shiver, but we managed sunburn from Sundays sun, so all was good. Trip home was eventful with fog so thick around Exeter we could only just see the bonnet of the car. Great to see some old faces, absolutely fantastic to make some new friends.

Big thanks to Mark and his awesome Curry, and big apologies from Liz to MickyB from spraying it all around his kitchen 

362 days to go until we do it again   

Forgot the thanks to the good samaritans who pulled over to check I was OK while waiting for recovery on the A14, you know who you atre, cheers 

Anyone found any photos/videos from the good people of Stratford yet?

Bugger Dave! that makes my dodgy brake light switch look very minor indeed! Hopefully an easy fix back at home though.

Many thanks to all for the great weekend! Brilliant (and eventful) cruise on Saturday - thanks Allan and Vanessa. even sorting out the special parking at the pub! It was great waking up Stratford. Ok weather was a little questionable in the evening but during the day soon made up for it.

Great to see everyone 

Good to hear everybody had a great time, though the weather wasn't entirely on your side,
the sun did eventually come out

How utterly amazing, they are beautiful and it was a wonderful sight I should think

Absolutely, never seen one before. Got to look on the bright side when things go wrong, at least it happened after the show and well before IBW
Got another pipe made up so I could blank the holes of and clean the engine, oil had even managed to spray onto the rollcage, it was everywhere. At least it was fairly new oil so not all black and gucky.  All clean now and trying to get someone I know to call round and make the pipes properly for me

All clean now and trying to get someone I know to call round and make the pipes properly for me

Good idea, get it done properly and things wont go wrong again   

Kites are utterly lovely, in recent years, due to management and relocation, they have spread all over, easy to spot when in flight
too due to the fork shape long outer tail feathers 

Thanks everyone for a great weekend at Stoneleigh, here are some pictures from the cruise around Stratford, weather held off so nobody got wet 

great pictures.
It was a great show, weather iffy, but fun all the same.

Here is to the next gathering in a field somewhere.

Ditto    must say the old girl ran rather well, did lose the spacehopper once and recaptured it down the hard shoulder, it must have looked like that insurance advert on the telly ,great to meet old and new. See you all soon hopefully.

Thanks for the seats on the cruise buddy, great to see you, although I think I need an ear drum replacement on my right ear....!!!!
