The Official Scrap yard challenge ride May 12th FOD

[NeilM]

Blimey, you boys are a bit quick off the mark.

I'm on holiday this week and I'm away on business for a couple of days next week, so it's going to be middle of the month before I have a pile of scrap in my garage. Still, at least I'm not in any bidding wars with you boys

 

[The History Man]

Just got back with my trusty rusty steed. I cannot believe I paid £25 for this....... (suitably ambiguous)

Messaged the seller and explained reason for my price limit and she agreed straight away.

As I paid the full amount what am I allowed to do prior to running? Make it safe?

When I got back the first thing that happened was one of the dogs peed up the front wheel. :shock: Obviously not impressed

I presume we all reveal our rides on here at the end of the month?

 

[daj]

First purchase !! Great stuff

I guess make safe is a good option

I am thinking rather than knowing what we all have before be a good surprise on the day?

 

[The History Man]

Ok presumably we bring proof of purchase/spending with us, or rely on honourable behaviour?

 

[daj]

or rely on honourable behaviour?

Picture Jack Sparrows ship crew its not far off a west midlands turn out

 

[matthew71]

honourable behaviour?

your new to this then,i am still toying with bringing my battery powered disc cutter

 

[The History Man]

Just trying to gauge the cut of your jibs. (Keeping nautical references going)

Rules are for the adherence of fools and the guidance of wise men............

 

[The History Man]

I just pumped up the tyres........

Does this look safe to you? Never seen one this bad. Will it disintegrate?

 

[daj]

hmmm from the west midlands resident tyre expert I would say they are in there prime!!

 

[Pyro Tim]

I can't make the ride, but I've seen the Bournemouth insults I can collect and post if need be
