They say the reason for things seeming to slow down in an emergency is that your memory goes into HD recording mode, in case the actions that you take could save you at some future time. Glad you're OK, one lucky guy:)

Anyone heading to LZ12 along the M11 / A14 route? I should be towing my tin tent up the A14 on Friday morning, but aim to be at Cambridge by about 10:00. Anyone want to hook up? I will be on CB channel 16 (4x4, geddit??)

If you have a fairly hefty jump lead you could run a temporary jumper from the battery to anywhere on the gear / transfer box and try it. That should confirm if you do need a better earth connection, although you can never have too many!

I've got the 90 in my avatar, the four seats in the back are side facing, and I've been told they make you feel nauseous after a while. Front passenger seat is normal though, @pontyslapper occupied it in LZ10, and seems to have survived. Be glad to cart them around!

AAhhh, a volunteer?

LZ12 checklist: 90, fuelled, oiled, rarin to go - Check Gazebo for bar extension - Check Raffle prizes - Check Special drinking hat - check Cakes - Check Wife ................er, I'm sure I have one somewhere..... Actually, her mother has managed to break her femur. She's managed 95 years...

That job's already taken, but when I fall over it's all yours:p

Well, there goes my chance to be a hero:oops:

Do you have a CB in the 110? If we can agree on a channel that could be a good fall - back. If all else fails I'd be happy to pa you my phone number for an emergency, although I'm not a local.

:D:D:D

Do you think it's worth seeing me burst into (manly) tears if you don't? I'm sure there will be plenty of seats available for map-readers, I'll have four seats available, three side facing though. Sounds as though @icbandit #Icbandit (not sure which sign to use) might have a spare seat as well...

Easy - sleep in Saturday morning, laning drinks food and a laugh till about 11 PM, lie in on Sunday!

When we moved from Malvern to Suffolk people kept saying "Ooh, it's very flat there innit?" Well, it's not, but I thought I would keep the name. Ho - hum.

Very good transport caff just off J1 of the A14, wwe'll be tucking into bacon and egg rolls there on our way down:D

Yes, you'll find it hidden behind the Portaloo sign. Ignore the smell, that's just the camouflage:D:p Glad you're coming along, and I'm sure your missus would have enjoyed it, there's quite a few other non-landy owning wimmins coming, Mrs. FL for one. See you there!

That's what I did, and it gives you time to check / replace bearings, seals etc. The hardest part was removing the disco flange (3 bolt) to 4 bolt. Mine was rusted on, and eventually had to be cut off with an angle grinder. Apparently most are easier than that.

There's people coming from much further away, and if you play your cards right you might get to join the Kent convoy! Seriously though, I would agree about it being too far if it was just a laning day, but there's a lot more to it, a great weekend, my third time

I was with NFU until I fitted a disco rear axle. I thought the disk brakes would only add to the safety, but they bumped the price up to a stupid level, saying they didn't want to deal with modified vehicles. I have just renewed with Annetts & Orchard, £172 for me and Mrs FL, fully comp, all...

Just noticed you're in Portugal! What a place for corks!

When I knew I was going to strip a 200 I collected corks, and used these to plug various holes (oo err missus) Clean them well though, as they could shed crumbs.
