I just remembered at RRG 11 we had a bit of a trip out to a small-time scrappy with lots of interesting/old motors inside... I asked about if we'd do it last year but everyone disappeared to another show - me and a mate tried to locate the place we'd been the previous year but to no avail and we ended up in stroud somewhere.
Anyone fancy it? Anyone know the name of the place? I can furnish you all with some pictures that might jog memories? ^.^

you need to get up earlier - we went last year too! - it's buckland's scrapyard, should be easy to google up - I was just following whoever was in front - I assume we'll be going again this year, we'll try and have a drive round the site shouting at people before we go this time, so no-one misses it  |

We did indeed 'do' Harry Buckland's last year. I distinctly remember lying down in the back of KFW's Prairie trying to focus on the headlining and failing as I was still completely shedded from the night (and morning) before. I got up pretty sharpish once we started moving though, lest I parked the contents of my stomach over the Nissan's lovely upholstery.   |

you need to get up earlier - we went last year too! True enough: I am up for that Nick, it will keep me off the ale for a couple of hours! Too much drinking with you! Fancy setting a time of day and meeting point (Such as Brown Allegro?) so we're all singing from the same sheet when the day arrives? |
