Im pretty set to go! Going to start collecting stuff in the spare room this week

 

[Rhys Beal]

Was a nice day today so decided to set up the gazebo thing that I have and I found a tent in the shed so set that up too! Never erected either so was quite surprised at the results

The gazebo makes the tent look tiny. It stands over 10ft tall and over 16ft long

 

[dmallett]

Thats our lounge area.

Camping chairs are a must also people!!

 

[Rhys Beal]

That thing is ideal to spend the evenings in for everyone if the weather turns out bad, also all cooking and stuff can be done under cover

 

[dmallett]

That reminds me! gas bottle...

 

[andywa]

Ended up working late so couldn't get to my mates Going to pull it apart on the drive tomorrow afternoon if i get home in time, my neighbour who is a Ford Tech said it's definitely the wheel bearing, Dan said to speak to you about changing that? But i might just put that hub on of yours if the bearing in that is ok...

 

[DannyR]

Yea just change the whole hub. I think I gave Dan a bearing too so you had all options!

 

[DannyR]

Bring it to mine of you want me to check? Or I can have a drive up to yours?

 

[LewisTaylor]

You know i'd take you up on that offer but I'm working tomorrow and I'm unsure what time i'll get back So will be a late evening till dark job lol

 

[DannyR]

Oh I see, I wouldn't of thought wheel bearings to be honest but those hubs have had some stress I imagine.

I think it's the standard play that side has due to the drive shaft.

FaceTime me when you have a look

Hopefully you should have received payment mate. Let me know if there are any problems.

 

[DannyR]

That's everyone for stickers now apart from Chris, looks like he doesn't come on too much.

Any with his number just send him a text please? Then I can get them ordered

 

[Breamy]

car is all ready now! fitted new brakes today!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Full service to mine today and removed the rear seats so everything fits now

 

[Breamy]

good stuff! just gotta find somewhere to put compulsory items, first aid kit, triangle etc

 

[Rhys Beal]

I am going to get a massive bungee net thing from tool station for £9.99. Scott has one and is great so should keep all my items in check.

Also as I have now removed my seats, I will put a couple of hooks where the seatbelt mounts were to then give me 4 points to ratchet strap everything down

 

[Breamy]

I have a cargo net but not confident with it holding things down on track as you are meant to carry it at all times!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Oh I didn't realise that! How much will fit in the glove box do you think?

 

[dmallett]

Ill try fit mine under the seats lol

 

[andywa]

Got my sleeping bag out of the loft and gave it a good clean as it was manky. I was going to set the tent up at my folks house just to check it over but decided against it after the gales. Pretty much all sorted now.

 

[dmallett]

We have tried out tent yet! its in Chelmsford atm at my mates dads house.

Been trying out places for the go pro today also

 

[andywa]

^did you get any footage or was it just trying to find a decent mounting point?

Any one know of anything that will hold a camera in place to take video in the car?

 

[dmallett]

Im going to get bit of metal bar, put it behind the rear seats and some how mount it to the car.

We didnt get any footage as we didnt have an sd card

 

[DannyR]

Cable tie to wing mirror

 

[dmallett]

I dont own it, so I will be looking after it!

After having a play with it today it really is a brilliant piece of kit, its on my Christmas list, only half a year to wait lol.

May have to do this as well. Loads of glowi g reports about these.

 

[andywa]

Just a heads up but Tesco are doing a load of camping for dirt cheap. Gas canisters are £1.96 which isn't bad.

 

[DannyR]

We're just gonna spend money and get 6 instant BBQs!
