Well that was a fun packed weekend, Donny last might and off we set at 7 bells to the Auto Jumble before Brekki.
Always a few things to look at down there.
Arty shot alert......
Breaking news, Big D finds wallet!!!!!!
And after buying a few bits we set off to meet everyone at the Redbeck, thoroughly enjoyed driving mi Camaro after a few months out, great cruise over. Met up with Ian in his Chev on the way and Were met bay Johnny Mick and Deano as we pulled up.
Eveything seemed pretty normal as we sat having a laugh and tucking into a few sausages...
The rumble was clear, we all heard it, Dranny had done it the coupe powered in, we turned and looked out the window, yup sounding strong mate.
So after a few mins i finished my breakfast and went for a pee. An old geezer came out a cubicle as i was washing my hands, "you wi them car lads outside then?" Yes says I "one of em's just gone through the fence intut field" oh shite! My reflection looked back at me in the mirror, we both knew what had happened as Dranny hadnt come in for Breakfast, the rest of the boys got up as i told them and we shot out. Ahhh bolox there it was, he definately parked up a fair bit away!!!
Steering shot, oil gone, panels bent! The throttle stuck open it transpired and he just pointed it at what looked like the weakest part of fence.
How the fuck he managed to pilot it between thoes two posts i will never know. The tree unfortunaltely lost!
Panel beating the Barnsley way!
We found a way into the field and Chris luckily was in his Dodge Ram so went in and draged the poor old coupe out.

So we fixed the fence in a fasion, the tree was foooked!!
So back on terra firma, tool boxes were out as were jacks, Deano and Big D went back to Wakefield for oil and filter, the filter had burst and that steering linkage looked like a Uri Geller item!
But no probs we can sort that too.,, spanners out and Joe and Dranny took the front apron off to get to the bar, and chris re bent it using tools available, this being a clothing bank!
We took the offending flaps out the scoop that caused the throttle to stick and Joe repaird the cable linkage.
Foliage was everywhere, Dranny being Dranny made sure it stayed thete, gotta love him :-)
Chris, are we taking this boat tail thing a bit too literally?
Spanners still spinnin....
Luckily only drannys elbo was hurt, but Chris could fix that too, lovely bedside mannor that lad.....
Running and driving again, its so never amazes me what we can sort as a club when shit happens.
And so Big D had a word in my ear. There was one thing left. ahh yes......
Paul "Dranny" Dransfield, come on down, you sir have just won the shitter of the month!!!
Infact that was so "epic" its a lifetime achievemnt award, stick it on ya shelf!!!! :-)
Finally by 11.30 we have a line up photo!!!
But hang on wheres big Roy gone? Oh yeah hes scrattin for pennies!! :-)
A right pair o helmets!!! "Its not the Stig, but it is the Stig's gay cousins from Dewsbury"
And on that Bombshell........Goodnight!!!
What a weekend!!!
