Mr D. :rasp:

You are going to have to speak to the Harem :shark:

I could be just like the D3 driver who pulled out to avoid a child - and fell out of bed :surprise:

I am sorry to say that the event has run into trouble again.

I do not feel it would be correct to talk about it further at this time.
I am sure it will all come out in time.
I am sure those of you who have booked are disappointed. I know I am.
I really feel for those members of Phoenix LRC and other clubs who have worked so hard since the first cancellation, to try and rescue the event, only to be placed in an untenable situation by others.

This does'nt sound good at all..................................guess the reason will come out soon to quell the doom mongers. Shame really, seemed quite a friendly 4x4 festival in the past.

Here's hoping 2012 it will be on the agenda

I'm guessing someone didn't like the idea of all that noise in "their" back garden, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happened - fully understand your position Nick.

My ticket refund has been donated back again through the http://www.abingdon4x4festival.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; home page; can't see why the air ambulance should lose out because of the actions of one or more anally retentive coprolites.

I'm just doomed not to get to an offroad show this year. :cry:

Sorry to hear the new Nick. Do you know if the reason will be made public?

I am sure the facts will out in the end, one way or the other.

You won't have twist my arm that much for me to spill the beans!
Just not something I can do in public.
Having said that, I normally do spill beans when eating in public. The evidence is on my shirt. :lol:

Sorry to say I can't make the October SAM.
We will be away on some Mickey Mouse ship cruising the west coast of USA.

Cheers
