LRO Spring Adventure 2004


May 15th - 16th 2004
Driffield


Off we went - this year to Driffield
(Land Rovers are probably banned for life from Bramham!)

The weather couldn't have been better
The company was superb, the organisation
was incredible and friendly, and the club
stands were thoughtfully placed around the
main Arena - which makes a lot of sense
(Other show organisaers please note!)

Wandering around talking to many of the old faces
on the trade stands it soon became apparent that there
was some very serious 'organised thievery' going on.

This could easily have ruined the weekend for many,
however, late Saturday Night (2am Sunday morning actually)
the police moved in, vehicle transporter in attendance,
and several vehicles, their contents and owners were
taken away. Reassuring and somewhat comforting.

First appearance of this very tidy Radio Body.
Anyone know what the bracket assembly under the
rear door is all about?

bolt on Fastback and bonnet kits...

We eventually mastered the art of the
"Field Cinema" - with 'silent' generator
a fairly high powered video projector
and the side wall of our 'zeebo!
