Stoneleigh is very clearly a must go event now and well done to Shaggy for going to them on his own for so long.  Nice to see his efforts have paid off and now such a great turn out.   


Most/everyone knows where to go now when they get to Stoneleigh, but I still expect to see Shaggy running off to round up stray buggys when he hears their familiar burble in the distance.

Such a great event. Meeting all the gurus who helped me finish my buggy via this superb forum was the highlight for me. Putting faces to names and making new friends - AND all with this same nutty love for buggies. What better way to spend a weekend. Cracking Jazzy BBQ, wicked banter, too many beers (sore head Monday), loads of great buggies to drool over and get ideas from. Roll on IBW - can't wait :D

We wanted too but it was cash only, no ATM's on site and wasn't till later on we discovered cashback from the farm shop, so it was a bit late. Did you? or the spin in the westfield? I done that last time I was down and that was a good laugh

I didn't stray beyond the buggys and main halls.

I thought the spin in the Westfield was only for youngsters - like you - but perhaps I should pay the money and have the laugh too.

I assume your new yellow window brace was a big success. Did the long journey to and from Stoneleigh give you any more ideas for what needs fixing/tweaking to survive long treks ?

The brace was excellent. It looks very ghetto but there's no wobbling even at the dizzy speeds of 70mph. I might try and make it a bit more professional but retain the abilty to remove it. As most of the time I am just poodling around town or less than 50mph. So save it for the maaad adventures
No real changes needed just a check to tighten it all up I suppose. Just need to pack more with less space for IBW.

How was your journey? Anything caught your eye on all the bugs on display.

And you are as young as ya feel!  8)

Ah yes I recall Fyn was showing an interest in where the constant smell of burning rubber was coming from - but he's a nipper like Arran.

I found that Dylis had a go and loved it but she's always edging Carl to apply more throttle so her 'judgement' isn't what I'd call average.
