Hi all, went to the APF show on saturday, took 3 1/2 hours from Sunderland, the weather was lovely as were all the staff and folk we talked to. Watched the pole climbing, had some lunch, filled a carrier bag full of glossys, got myself a kelly kettle and had a smashing day, got back to the L200-some little S**t had riven off the amber strobe warning beacon off the roof. I reported it to the organisers who said it was the only reported crime throughout the 3 day event, bit of bad luck that. Anyway we still had a good time even though we had a canny drive back home. There is always some one who wants to spoil it for others, some selfish ignorant folk about, anyways, take care...Nick Pearson, Timberline-Roe Ltd.

Thanks Jon, the thief had stepped up using the offside side step and just rove the lamp off snapping the ciggy lighter wire, I could see the scuff marks in the dust on the roof. We had been parked right at the entrance to the car park. Obviously there were no witness,s and no cctv coverage. The type of people at the show appeared quite respectable-not like the usual drunken townie scum that attend fairsv etc-my impression of the show was one of being very well organised and very well presented-a major credit to the industry as a whole. Its cost me another £80 to replacethe lamp-which if I say so myself is a "goodn", courtesy of e bay. Moral of the story-remove the lamp when not in use. Saying that nearly every other 4 x 4 and arb van that was there had amber lights-defo a bit of bad luck...Nick.
