cb radio's

cb radio

has any one got them fitted for the thing at the end of the month

A few of us.

Oh yes  

that's good at least we can talk to each other
over the weekend

As we went to SMD's in two cars we used the CBs then, my passenger wasn't much company as he slept all of the way there and most of the way home at least I could talk to Michelle and occaisonally Luke   (by the way my passenger is only 21 months old)

He must have felt safe with your driving skills. Does Michelle nod off when you're driving her?

We use walkie talkies when we're in separate cars. At least all this is road legal.

We will have CB in Nigel. Missy isnt coming this year as she needs a bit of TLC and didnt want to risk her. The project cabriolet is so nearly done it hurts but sadly not done enough to be ready for the things at the end of the month so Nigel is doing the tour for the first time ever!!!

OMG does he have a CB if not we could all be talking about you, all 300 minis.

Michelle rarely lets me driver her far enough for her to fall asleep

This will be Gem's 4th LGT - quite the old hand now.  Jock won't be there as he is having some major TLC done as well Michelle will be doing the LGT on her motorbike for the 2nd time tho'

I spoke to you guys at SMOD and Mich said that she was biking it this year, that must be exciting. Missy did the tour for the last 5 years so I think she deserves a rest.

I'll be passenger most days as I dont like to drive Nige that much so you can talk about/to me as much as you like on the CB!!

Ok will do  

Dennis is CB-equipped, although it looks like I'll have to carry on borrowing Lotty's aerial as I haven't got off me bottom and sorted out a new one yet...

ive got a cb as well  

where did you get your cb's from and do you need a cb licence to use them ???? we may use walkie talkies this year

Another one with a cb here. Also use walikie tailkies for the drive down with two cars, mind you I haven't decided whether to bring my mini or motorbike yet!

Forgot to say, never bothered with a licence. I'm sure you don't need one anymore (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
mine came from a place in south Wales, CCC in Caerphilly, they are on the net.

Quoted from tashawick

i got mine from maplins and you don't need a licence anymore so i understand

CB Licensing was scrapped a couple of years ago - the appropriate authority worked out there were about 20k licensed users left, so didn't see the point in continuing the licenses. Perhaps they conveniently forgot about the estimated 100k users without licenses  

thanks guys will have a look on the net  

i got mine from thunderpole.co.uk. £100 i think it cost, though you can get a package with all the bits you need for that money. never had a licence for it either

I got mine from Thunderpole as well  

i got mine from county garage in barnstaple cos i got it at trade price

We got ours from CCC in caerphilly too who fitted them for us too I think the whole package (receiver + aerial + fitting) was about £80 per car. We asked about the legallity of them and were told that you don't need a licence and that they are allowed to be used on the road.

We used walkie talkies for the first couple of lgt's which are great if you are on a tight budget. Though the running commentry on the CB's is priceless and we would be lost without OBNAV

On your head be it

Thanks Penny for the offer of a CB loan.

Just need to sort the outfits, and maybe give lovely Clementine a wash now.

your welcome Rosieposie listening  to OB rabbiting oops i mean talking sense and pass on her gems of wisdom  is the highlight of the weekend  

Oi! I'm just gonna listen now and not talk - I shall just quietly sulk now

oh dont do that we shall think our sets arent working  

Hmm - could be arranged

No we need Obnav as long as it doesn't say were just by the tree... the big green one well be ok

No I've decided I'm gonna sulk could be difficult tho' I keep laughing

Can not imagine you sulking you'll just be issuing clips around the ear all week end

I'm female I can do more than one thing at a time you know  

dont sulk just keep laughing  

has anyone got a meter that helps you tune in cb all connected but still not quite right

Quoted from O-B

I'm female I can do more than one thing at a time you know  

There's only one time a man can do two things at once.

When and what is that Rita? Do tell!

R.

Sleep and f**t   

Quoted from O-B

Sleep and f**t

Quoted from O-B

Sleep and f**t

Oh yes so I did - mind you I've been on my own for a while now - how easily we forget

Quoted from mabel

VERY true  

I want to know if women moan as an excuses to spend money or do they spend money as an excuses to moan. life is only as complicated as you make it and I get so dizzy.

It's the first one,until I change my mind and then it's the second one...womans prerogative  

Quoted from Terry

I try not to moan and I certainly don't shop. It's the whisky making you dizzy Terry.
