Buggy Filth

Anyone guilty of kiting no matter what!? We had some decent wind and in desperate need of a fix so went out in spite of the field being a tad muddy. All was going well until I went full pelt through what looked like a bit of surface water. Turned out to be a mahoosive muddle (mud puddle!) which was about a foot deeper than it looked!!! Look at the state of the buggy...Popeye would be horrified. I'll be polishing this afternoon :duh:

Paul, that is hilarious! Great post. Can we assume your wife came home to find you sitting on the couch still in those clothes and boots watching sports on the tele eating crisps? :evil:

Steve she was picking me up. You should have seen her face when she turned up to find me standing there in just my boxers in 4 degrees. Not a pretty sight!

Sandflea could be your twin. Thought I was looking at him.
