Ok boys and girls, just looking at the events for the weekend and we are planning for Busfest Games on saturday lunchtime at 12
We have competed in this before with the kids and its just a good laugh, egg and spoon race, human wheelbarrows, space hopper races etc. You can check out some pictures of my kids competing in an old media album here

I think last time it was teams of 4 so im hoping we can get at least a couple teams together (with or without kids) as you can see in the pics we do have some T6F tshirts/polo shirts so hopefully we have enough for people competing (got several random kids sizes)

Just look at all that fun !!

I think I can see a slight strategic advantage being taken in the last pic of the egg and spoon race.

We now have some new merch bits and bobs that i will be handing at a busfest, everyone in our camping area will be getting bits but anyone who is day visiting feel free to come by the T6F club camping area and say hello
Anyone that can find me gets a free air freshener/sticker/parking ticket clip (sorry mugs are not free)

I washed my bus and waxed it with my Makita whirly buff and then as I was putting my tools away it started to rain. Typical, we’ve had no rain for about two weeks, but as soon as I do a small detail it lashes down

Fingers crossed the weather is dry for the weekend, nothing worse than camping in the rain.

I got mine bare as I’ve got batteries and charger, I also added the 150mm and 125mm backing pads.

I use something similar to this for spot polishing -

I'm team blue too...

So have 18v batteries and chargers.....

I'll look for the bare unit.

Using the Ryobi 18v buffer ATM.

Rain did you say?
We had roughly 2,000 drops here so just enough to highlight the futility of washing your van two days before going to the Transporter beauty pageant....

Hopefully they'll buff out!

Always blue, not those silly yellow kids toys that some guys use.

I could be persuaded to go red, but I've got so much blue that I'd need to win the lottery to change it all over.

 

[Dellmassive]

Yeh.. I'm Team Red with my mechanics kit.

And Team Blue for work kit.

I was Team Yellow 15 years ago......but soon grew out of it. Now they just a glorified version of a B&Q, Black and Decker.


Edit:

Went down Team Blue/Yellow also, if your old enough to remember the original Ryobi stuff.
