Big Daddy Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Posted September 28, 2007 Too much enjoyment going on in Spain I reckon. By the way nemo_sushi, I will be in Fuengirola on Friday and Saturday 5th & 6th Oct. How far is Oliva from there. Maybe you could pop along. Looks a bit grim outside. NE 9mph tomorrow, usually it's pants from there. Quote
Big Daddy Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Posted September 28, 2007 Hey Jim, just seen a Barracuda for sale on here. It's down in Bournemouth. You might fit it:D:D;) (know what I mean, Mike;)) He also has a double trailer.....in yellow Quote
Big Daddy Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 Ho hum....lalala rain..no wind..boring. Just been trying to put all my buggy pics in one place now, so if anyone wants a butchers, go here: http://picasaweb.google.com/BuggyMartin Feel free to add any comments under the piccys!! Quote
air stiffler Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Know I understand why you guys buy buggies. It is all in preperation for your retirement. Looking at those pictures you will only need to buy an electric motor to power your customised wheelchair. Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Posted October 1, 2007 Speed, that's what it's all about. Did you catch those pictures of you at the Ho...going slow;). Yeah, I know there was only 5mph wind. Seriously tempted to head across the briney for the 19/21st. Van/Trailer+9 for under £100:D Quote
air stiffler Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 I think I might take up kite surfing!!! Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Posted October 4, 2007 naughty naughty............some of them look a bit cold;) Mike and Jim, any chance of coming round my house later today with your beasts to test these machines on this ramp;). I am on hol today and we need to see if they will fit. I haven't booked anything yet. Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Posted October 11, 2007 Blimey guys, had a bit of trouble finding our thread way down on page 3. Is there anyone out there. (Reminds me of a song that!) Is there any interest for the Ho! on Saturday? Looking a bit pants at the mo. Perhaps we will just have to suffice with France next weekend:D. I hear that we will get 25mph winds:D:D. Steve & Sarah's blog looks interesting and nice pics. Jealous or what! Mind you I had a good weekend in Spain, just chilling by the pool with cold beers....what a life. Must give up this daily grind sometime. Catch you over the weekend, or even Friday evening, once I have done my duties;). Quote
outinthesticks Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 Maybe everyone has gone wherever the wind went? Read S&S's Blog yesterday, its nice that its so candid. Not all roses and flowers and amazing days at the beach although obviously there were some. See you all the same time the wind re-appears. Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Posted October 12, 2007 Hey, Dan the mountainbike man, good to see you. How is the buggying? Pub tonight sounds good. How about somewhere in town at 7:30ish. I know the other alkies will be there;). Fancy George & Dragon on Castle St? Quote
lowlight Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 non existent, time to give it back. G & D sounds good, cya later Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Posted October 15, 2007 Can't go to the pub this Thursday...or Friday. Well not in England anyway:D:D:D Quote
V-Max Rider Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Still no swan neck down tube but I have now got my new turf tyres, 2 for only £30 good or what. Had good time in Liverpool, just got over the hangover from the weekend. Hope to be out on Sunday as long as the weather is good. Quote
air stiffler Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 whats with this sh!t weather then. No wind where I is and no wind with you guys either Quote
V-Max Rider Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Looks like a swan neck is going to cost me £100 or more, does any one know any one who could make one cheaper? Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 Good afternoon all. Thought you were getting one off that shop in Gloucester way! Fallen through? Don't know anywhere else cheap. Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 Well, a fine weekend was had by part of the Salisbury Crew during France Raid October 2007. Jim, Mike and myself did the ferry crossing on Thursday night and arrived back Sunday lunchtime. Light winds, but a good couple of days in the sun and on the beaches. Checked out a few, but stuck with St Cecile Plage, which is just North of Le Touquet. Offshore wind on Saturday, so long runs along deserted beach. Made it to the river, well most of us anyway! Good test of the van and trailer; ready now for further trips. Want to see the pics? Clicky here then. http://picasaweb.google.com/BuggyMartin/FranceRaidOct2007 Ciao. Quote
V-Max Rider Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Great pic's, Good to see that some of you got some Wind unlike us back home. Still need to try out the new tyres, but need some good wind for that! Still trying to find some where that sells swan necks but slowly running out of ideas. Quote
V-Max Rider Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Hello, Is there anyone out there? Are any of you flying this weekend, Looks like it should be dry. Quote
Wolf boy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 going to hudsons in a bit if anyone fancies it? Tomorrow looks **** so might as well make the most of today:) Quote
Big Daddy Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 anyone fancy a bit? Not today Wolfie, looks a bit damp;). Was going to get out but drizzle put me off. Saw Steve sliding around. Next weekend will be good. Quote
Squares Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 I remember drizzle, thats that wet stuff isn't it? don't get much of that down here, tho it has turned a bit colder...takes a bit longer in the morning to get to 20+ degress. So...a couple from Tarifa to remind you what sunshine looks like http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/8931/stejumpyf7.jpg http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/6145/stemostlyboardec0.jpg http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2347/stenosegrabcb2.jpg On to Portugal now........
