What did you do bank holiday weekend?
« on: 30 August 2011, 19:36 »
I went camping. Yes camping in the pouring rain, muddy as hell.

But gotta be one of the best weekends ever. Went with familly and loads of other famillies had three of my best mates, one being my GF, went to Dover. I didn't stay in a tent though, I slept in the back of a Berlingo with a mate, not long enough at all, got cramp but a few crates of Bulmers and Carlsberg sorted that out fine.  :grin:

Went to Dover, explored loads of the old war tunnels. Some have been blocked off and all the ones we went in should have been blocked off but I don't think the H&S have discovered them yet.  :grin:

Had to live with a 1l Fiesta but managing to do Dover and back plus driving everyone around and caining it up and down motorways trying to help out the two brand new girl drivers with us and as a result loosing everyone and trying to keep up on £20 I did save a hell load of fuel.

All in all an amazing weekend, didn't do anything to any cars except jump start one twice, my phone died and I didn't charge it, didn't have the internet just Dover, best mates and some cider. Oh and loads of McDonalds.  :grin:  :cool:

What you lot do?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Yesterday morning I washed and dried the car, polished all of the glass, cleaned and dressed the tyres and all of the exterior trim, it looked really nice !

When I went back out to put the car away last night a bird that I can only guess had just eaten christ knows how many blackberry’s or something dark had just evacuated the entire contents of its bowels all over my car !

Now I know many of us get this but it is so infuriating and why is it always AFTER the cars been cleaned ?

Rant over and thats what I did yesterday  :rolleyes:

Friday - sorted a mate's Sportrak out and then removed the 20' container from my unit.
Saturday - Milled about, went and bought a new bike for our eldest, who's just learned to ride unstabilised
Sunday - cut up two pickup loads of wood and delivered to mine and a friend's house - a nice family activity with chainsaws.  :grin:
Monday - site prep for the IOW 4x4 Club's driving day.  Bit of 5t excavator driving, bit of chainsaw work, bit of clattering about in the undergrowth in the SJ.

Today I have been in work, recovering.  :grin:

Not a lot, visited some family Saturday, Sunday I f@cked my neck before I even started walking to the shops  :rolleyes: and it's only starting to feel almost OK now, albeit doped on pain killers :grin: Spent yesterday in pain doing tip runs with said neck pain, it was better than stay at home and hear her b!tching and moaning - should have gone to work like I had planned would have been less painful and less stressful :rolleyes:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
