sparrow legs Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 dont go there! 7 of us meet up and when in convoy to the event, i was given a head start with my 30k box, after a while the 50k boys (fendt 920, mf 6480 and jd 6910) shot past giving me lip on the cb, then after a while the 40k 8410 and the other mf 6480 went past by the time we got the the start i had caught them up due to traffic. mine looked well i thought given its age, there was a jd 3050 on a j plate looked rought compared to mine. all of our group had cb's in and had a right laugh and had flags promoting our club, we have raised a fair bit for charity today so that makes it worth while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
