hotel21 · « **Reply #11 on:** 10 September 2008, 20:14:31 »

For info, I now have a real deal Tech2 that lives with me north of the border across in Fifeshire. Seeing as i have now sold my Mig, I have nothing to practice on. If anyone wants to become a doner and possibly get a few bits and bobs squared away, happy to us eit as the 'guineapig' as it were.... Hopefull of getting the Saturday in at the meet to others can benefit from upgrades etc, just need somethign to practice on!

Proz · « **Reply #12 on:** 11 September 2008, 17:31:26 »

Ahh .... the legendary and elusive Tech 2 north of the border .... nice

Big Fra · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 September 2008, 17:34:32 »

D'you think the TECH2 could do summit with the Mazda?

Like give it a V6 rumble?

I miss that.

4pots suck.

Fuel economy is the only redeeming feature.

Big Fra · « **Reply #29 on:** 03 October 2008, 01:17:44 »

Ok, due to a little hospital incident last night, Rena will not be joining me, but I will certainly attend for friday night into saturday.
Cant do sat to sun as I have a wee (12hr) overtime shift on sunday.

Back home, having been thoroughly soaked and attacked by my tent in the middle of the night.

Now I have dried off and defrosted, I am sitting on the couch with a nice pint of guinness.

Good catching up with folks and meeting H21's pup Jura.

Thanks to CBS2 and Lynne for the hospitality and cooking skills at brakfast.

Looking forward to the next one.

No piccies though, my fingers were too cold to work my phone.
