Techenders - 21st to 23rd April - Who's coming?

Safely back home with my new cooker (thanks @SkutterBob) & new Gas bottle (thanks @Dicky)

I've even got myself a suntan (thanks global warming).

There were so many people I didn't even get to say hi to everyone.

Nice one for organising @Baysearcher

Hope we can get @zed & @rickyroo1 etc to the next one in September


Great to see everyone

 

Got home about 4. Another top weekend and it was great seeing everyone again. See you next April.

 

King of the Couriers!

How did it handle on the long journey back, with the new anti roll bar?

 

Yes nate dropped about another inch its slit smoother no banging

 

Really well, thanks for all the expertise, couldn't have done it without you.

I can go around roundabouts at much higher speed and don't get dragged under trucks as they pass - dead pleased.

 

@theBusmonkey

Thanks for all your help this weekend, Disappointing morning for both of us I'm sure but could have been a lot worse. I'm going to get some new blades and have that silkafix off in no time. I've already ordered a new tube and connectors

Hope you enjoy/enjoyed the bottle but I have a inkling @mrsbusmonkey will be the one to enjoy it.

Look forward to the next TE in September. Cheers Doug

 

We managed to get home at midnight last night after a leaving TE to go to a meal in Mansfield, flat battery as we tried to leave Mansfield! Nightmare. Myself and Claire had a really nice time even though we didn't get to stay for long, learnt a lot and met a few of you lovely lot! Thank you all for being welcoming and helpful! And also thank you to the kids for keeping our dogs occupied

 

Home safely about 20:30, we took the scenic route to west London including a stop just down the road from eddy's for cream teas.thanks to all for the lovely weekend meeting great people and playing with buses, hope we can make the next one.

Great event. Great weather with lots of really nice folks- some of whom I actually recognised.

Managed to fit a cab door lock barrel and blank off my EGR valve ...EXTREME mechanic action!

 

Just to say had a great Friday and Saturday at Techenders,( had to leave Saturday evening due to family matter) thanks to those who offered advice and help (dicky, flakey,etc,etc) Was my 1st but not last.
A great weekend !

 

Wondered where you'd gone. Hope everythings ok.

 

The wife's father had, had a fall and Sandra ( wife) has 2 aunties which she is keeping an eye on too , so came home to help out plus we have kids aswell.
All is good thanks .

 

That's going straight on the calendar - not missing two in a row.

 

Decided to save some petrol on the return journey PeaSoup looked very sheepish being pulled up on to the flat bed!

Thanks to all who helped and advised today - @1973daisey , @paulcalf, @theBusmonkey to name a few - and especially to @davidoft for being an absolute star, and for even waiting to make sure I got picked up ok

And thanks to Joe who waited for me and gave me a lift home - sorry you were back so late, and thank you for saving me from having to make polite conversation with the flat bed driver!

Other than the return journey another fantastic weekend. Lovely people, good food and drink and plenty of interesting conversation. Looking forward to September!

 

May?? Come on, you can do better than may!

Back home safe and sound after an excellent weekend, thanks everyone, what a cracking bunch of people. I'd thought that getting my spotlights fixed was going to be the highlight of my weekend (thanks guys for sorting the wiring for me) but I'm afraid that accomplishment was eclipsed when Matt gave me a pool ball gear top.
I am now able to ask random strangers if they want to look at my knob. If they're unsure I can add that it's shiny and red and they can have a feel of it if they want.
