Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've just strayed on to Buxton's Farcebook page and there is a picture of a smiling Jason Pipe in a pub holding up a Buxton No.1 race jacket. Also holding on to this race jacket is some guy in a lumberjack shirt who we must assume is either some drunk in Mr Pipe's local tavern or is the new International Man of Mystery who will be spearheading Buxton's challenge for honours in 2017. Any idea who this mystery man could be? Looking at the hands, I would suggest that he has passed the age of puberty and could be one of Mr Pipe's army of veterans. On the Buxton site, it stated, "Pipe remains at the helm". Rather worryingly, on the wall to the right of our lumberjack friend is a lifebelt and what appears to be an oar! Surely, Pipe's boat is not sinking already or perhaps he likes to surround himself with nice hello sailor stuff. If I had to put 10p on identifying our new friend, I would plump for Kenny Eyre. Any better guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I hear that things have improved since your day, matey. It's now £5 a point, all the red diesel that you can get in your van tank, a key to the executive toilet facilities and heat leaders get first choice of sheep. What's not to like? ahhh there is the problem , I won't use red diesel in my van and I was only second string so the sheep are a bit rougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 That's Mitchell Davey, Little Thumper - Not a bad 1st signing by Jason Pipe So how do you know that? Are you a close friend of Mr Pipe's? Why do you think Mitchell Davey wants to come to Buxton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Tallish guy, Scottish chequered shirt & those large hands Unfortunately or fortunately I don't know Jason Pipe Buxton is one of the nearest NL tracks for Mr Davey, as he lives in Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, the chap must have more than one shirt? If you are correct, I hope they are paying him a good mileage allowance because he is going to be racking up a few miles. If he is living in Scotland then at least he will be used to it being bloody freezing for 11 months and 2 weeks of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Only guessing, but 100% sure Well if you are 100% sure then you can't be guessing! You have spoilt Mr Pipe's little secret so you might as well spill the beans and tell us how you have acquired this piece of information. Nobody will grass you up to Pipey, so reveal all.

Little Thumper Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I see on the Farcebook thing that Mark Man in the Middle Northall won't be pitching up next year as apparently he has found some gainful employment to occupy his time. That's a great shame as I always enjoyed his banter with the Bod in the Box and his contribution certainly helped hold the thing together. I fear that he (and his capable assistant) may have got a little fed up with having to lug all those speakers about and wire them up before every meeting and it is probably time that the good people at Buxton invested a small amount of time and money into getting the permanent PA system back into working order. I gave the Bod in the Box a nice crisp 20 pound note at the last meeting to replenish his collection of Bachelors and Mantovani LPs and I would be highly disappointed if the thronging masses were deprived of this aural feast because somebody hadn't got some high fidelity speakers up and running. I know you do look in here from time to time, so wishing you all the best, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Thumper Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 That's Mitchell Davey, Little Thumper - Not a bad 1st signing by Jason Pipe I have a suspicion that you may be incorrect. I might hazard a guess at Rob Shuttleworth but no doubt someone a little more savvy than myself will tell me he is going elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Thumper Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Picture is neither of those two. Clue is that he's left handed... A left-hander who lives not too far from Buxton Give us another clue......might it just be an ex Belle Vue Colts rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Thumper Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Why? Did they have a left-hander last year? hmmm...maybe they did. Now you are teasing! Go on, ex Colts rider or not? Matt Williamson perhaps? Edited December 5, 2016 by Little Thumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I've worked it out with my cunning Facebook photo analysing skills! Very very good signing!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Thumper Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 So the new Buxton No 1 is.......................................................Chris Morton. Only joking, it is Matt Williamson. But then I had already told you that. Nice one..........hooray! I've worked it out with my cunning Facebook photo analysing skills! Very very good signing!!!!!! .............but obviously, decided to keep this information to yourself and not share it with your friends on here. Nice. I know the numbers for this week's lottery but obviously, i won't be telling TurnTwo. So there. Only guessing, but 100% sure Not a great guesser, methinks! :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 He should be one of the best riders in the league next year, so a very good signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
