It has been a great weekend .... and that is the understatement of the year.

I would like to thank Nosebolt for putting this all together and superlatives fail me so let's stick with the above.

Special thanks to Warthog for his 5* breakfasts and Nosey (again) for the Costa Rocket fuel and all the other Birties: BD, CB, Dan & James, V8 and others
who readily offered advice on my first outing with Blue.

Truck behaved admirably and far exceeded my expectations & capabilities on the M5 and in the dirt.

Good to see other Birties pop in for the day on Saturday and the Sunday crew: Lord Flash + way better half & Mocaj amongst others.

Looking forward to Pics, video's etc....

Just got home and I'm fooled, a big thanks to NB for organising Breakout, it was well worth it and I'd love to see this site a fixed event in Birtys as there's loads more to do there.

I'll be busy uploading photos later, could someone create a Gallery folder for Harptree ?

Dutch · « **Reply #8 on:** April 01, 2012, 08:33:06 PM »

Tank,

Bruce still struggeling with the aftermath of V8CJ7 vs. NB........V8 won.

Chris got whipped by a branch in his eye, was pretty bad with surgery and all.

Hope he's well.

The short part of the weekend I took part in was excellent right upto the part where a tree tried to take my eye out. I won't bore you all with the details now but just say that the long term prognosis is sounding reasonably good. Still in hospital at the mo but they might let me out tomorrow. Had a two and a half hour op this morning to save the eye!

I'll give a proper update when I can.

Just like to say one last thing and that's a massive thank you to Kev although I don't think I'll ever be able to thank him enough for what he's done for me and Krishan this weekend.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2012, 09:53:31 PM »

That's good news Chris, thank fuck!

And thanks for seat dood, sorry ya didnt get the beer I owe ya

Bruce & Chris, really hope you both have a very spedy & full recovery guys

Nice one Birtys

back from A&E, bit scary for a while when the called in a plastic surgeon, but turns out that except for the walking round a field bit I was doing every thing right.

turns out I have split a muscle length ways and its filled up with blood like a ballon, no broken bones (but I knew that) so orders are to rest it elevated with a 5 min walk around the house every couple of hours, but no driving or work for at least a week.

and Chris, hope you as lucky as I've been and you get well soon m8

have created a breakout gallery and will get some photos and vids done over the next few days

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 02, 2012, 06:20:32 AM »

I think they called the Plastic Surgeon because they through the car had run over your head!!!!! lol glad your back safe and well bud, think you deserve a good rest, it couldn't have been easy being in pain all weekend.

Bloody Hell guys, glad your both ok. It could have been very different for the both of you.

Sounds like 2 very different incidents but both with potential serious implications. Get well soon.

Pics look great of the weekend, I need to get a toy again now Bishop has stolen mine.

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2012, 10:38:20 AM »

Hope all wounds heal up ok
Sound like i missed a good one
Planning on making Clyro tho

Old iron may get you there but a ZJ will get you back
