  4. HI Mark, I live in Croydon, but I'm not a member of Imps. Can you tell me when the event is & do I need to be an Imps member to attend. Cheers. Ivan
  5. Will do might take some time, as I need to read up on how to do attachments. I'll Get back to you. Thanks for your help so far.
  6. Sorry but is it titled I maybe stupid, but... Directly behind the eyelet is a cylinder (damper) I can push it in, I assume it is some form off buffer off the back as you say it has an arrangement that pushes on the handbreak mechanism if it goes to far. I assume this is the over run brakes. Hope this helps.
  7. Sorry forgot to sign-in last time, Its a standard 3/4 ton sankey trailer & no tailgate, its got the standard nato hitch ring on a shaft with a buffer behind it. Any idea's on the oil or how full.
  8. Tartan Tanks, have a chieftain, they are in Inverurie is that close. Please remember MBT tanks are not allowed on public roads in the uk without special prior arrangement. If this demo is not on private land you could find yourself & the tank owner in big trouble.
  9. And they say we have a throw it away culture ?, wear it into the ground more like. Soldiers have always moaned about british army clothing. But other than being bloody itchy some times, its very good. Some TA Stores (always got the regular army hand me downs) quite often still add the 1970's combat smocks etc, bit tatty but still in good working order. You can't move for army surplus stores now days, stock up now & in 20 year time you can sell it on for a fortune ??.
  10. As I remember it was about fighting old dragons, I don't know what the problem was I do that on a daily basis ?? . Funny seeing a British tank being commanded by a crazy American but then thats the movies for you, had a stalwart in it to. You got yourself a bit of a monster their, step up from a fox no doubt. 8)
  11. That is a lovely looking fox, can I pick up the accessories at Marcus Glenn ???. I remember Reign of Fire, Never understood why an american convoy had so much british kit ??. Have you still got a fox in the UK ?.
  12. If their is one thing I can promise you is that no one ever fired the rarden cannon other than over the front arc of the vehicle, actually some one probably did it once & I would not have wanted to be them.
  13. Max speed was always a hot issue with fox crew's, on road runs it was the gunners job to take a photo of the speedo if the driver thought he was doing particularly good. I have seen photos of a very wobbly needle at 10 MPH the driver claimed it was his second time around ??? ( it was down hill though). 75 Yes, 95 at the bottom maybe ?, but this would be 110 MPH !!!!. I think once your past the end of the speedo its accuracy starts to drop off. There is no doubt though that they are S**t of a shovel What we need is a long straight road, anyone know any abandoned runways Chris ??.
  14. Fox's arn't half as dangerous as they say, Yes they can do crazy speeds on the motorway & past 70mph the steering does start to feel light, anyone who tries to give you an accurate speed is guessing as the speedo doesn't go up that high. In my 8 years of service experience with fox, I have never seen one roll over as long as you respect them they are safe. We had one slip off the edge of a track in germany, it slipped sideways for more than 30 yards down and embankment of over 50 Degrees without rolling & could still be driven down into the valley. Safe yes, reliable well thats a different story.
  15. I would have thought 2 or 3 copies would be more in order, its not every day people get their works proffesionally published. I particular like the bit about gut instinct & taking people at face value. It took me a while and a lot of help to finally find a fox. Along the way I came across some Diamond Geezers & some Real Crooks :evil:. I think the longer this stays as a hobby & not a business the better for all.
