Tried for a little while now to renew MVT membership but there is a problem in the "short term" no card or paypal payments now as one who has just been dragged into the paypal era this is a little annoying and does not say much for Sentinel "our membership handling system" it also seems strange that their preferred payment direct debit is still available on line is this direct debit by stealth

Just before Christmas i opened the side door of my sprinter van and there was puddles of water on the rear seat covers this area has no headlining My command car in the insulated garage was covered in condensation this was easily rectified with its fleecy lined winter car cover maybe off topic but a few years ago i had a bungalow insulated cavity walls loft space etc cost a few quid but the house suddenly started to become damp wall paper falling off mould around the skirting boards shoes going mouldy in the wardrobe but worst of all an inch of water in my gun cabinet could not sell it quick enough the problem with the WOT as with my sprinter is no headlining i will have to line the sprinter roof would a WOT or GMC etc left the factory with a bare painted metal roof my local MOT garage was an old metal barn before they moved in they had the inside professionally sprayed with foam to solve this problem i wonder if i can aerosol spray foam my sprinter roof just an idea?

My problem was distance, without giving away who restored it, I am around 440 miles from their premises, they had come highly recommended, but haven't lived up to expectations. I was sent a few pictures even though I asked for detailed updates, pictures weren't great. I had complained not long after receiving it home as there are paint runs all over the Jeep, and new welds just left and very poor, however since then more serious issues have arisen like a supposed engine rebuild which i was charged close to £4000 for hasn't happened, and panels I'd supplied to be fitted, haven't been fitted and cheaper alternatives thrown on. I'm on here to ask for people's opinions incase some people might think I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill as some people don't bother about detail on a Jeep. I think the issue is my original tub has a few battle scars, restorer was adamant he wanted to fit a repro tub, but I stuck to my guns and he badly restored my tub, clearly with the view that since I'm happy with the original battle scars I won't care if the rest of the Jeep looks like crap. It can all be put right, but after spending what I have I feel I shouldn't spend any more money to put right someone's shoddy work.

We are going off topic here any way I have had to renew my class 1 every year since i was 65 the 3 year thing is for a normal car licence at reaching 70 as said 10 years use it or lose it
-
I was 73 in July have a class 1 or C+E whatever you want to call it now and there is a really simple answer to the initial question the situation was unless it has changed was if you allowed your licence to lapse you had 10 years to take up a renewal after that period it was a simple start again which i think is pretty fair

I have had these before nice bit of kit but with the naval background do not have a lot of following and therefore value bit like those nice galvanized ammo boxes

But not controlled if purchased as a blank.
I have just spent an hour talking to my RFD, who's shop is now click and collect.as nothing was booked, the call was directed to his mobile at home. what has blanks or Chinese fireworks got to do with it powders and primers are controlled and you need the respective licence to possess so you cannot legally have all the component parts you do not have all the legal components and this would also be impossible because of the specified calibres
-
Of four basic components powder and primers are controlled, brass and lead are not that is their problem.

Surely a dukw is exempt on the over 40 years old or pre 1960 rules ,I think this will be a long thread ,can of worms springs to mind starting with side reflectors ,rear under run , side bars steer tyres rear fog etc etc .

These covenants were initially targeting the likes of ice cream traders or sea food stalls keeping their vans at home it is not really a council issue . It is something developers in their wisdom apply but yours as a hobby is not commercial or hire and reward and should not apply been there before with my mk3 militant recovery on the drive

My wife was born in Stepney, I was brought up in Islington between us we watched it 6 times

Do not believe everything you are told when it says Actons lock the picture is Broadway Market, the pie and mash shop is over on the right and i have never seen Hertford spelt Heartford

Yes that was a brief description i missed out Kings Cross ,York way previously York road with redundant York road station. alongside Goodsway up into the now famous Camden Lock Market there is a sharp right turn into Regents Park the 1874 explosion makes great reading dead fish were landing in the West End the keel of the tug was found 300 yds away embedded in a house and the bang was heard 20 miles away and local were concerned animals from the zoo were killed or had escaped !

So what is a nice lightweight worth { not a Dutch diesel } with no petrol to put in it?

I played along the Islington section of this canal as a child, and many years later travelled it by narrowboat.it has changed so much its hard to recognise now i think it is part of the Grand Union / Regents canal ,we see Stepney green station on Mile end road, Gardiners corner at Aldgate glimpses of Victoria park and Broadway Market in Hackney moving into Islington, Eagle wharf basin and the Islington tunnel running from the Angel to Caledonian road 960 yards long up through Camden lock into Regents park alongside London zoo where there is a gate to access the zoo from the towpath this is also the site of a barge load of munitions exploding Oct 1874 this was also a route to the Enfield factories this is all off the top of my head so do not quote me there my be inaccuracies

Got up to read Mail on line really cheered me up "Driving will be come a privilege for the wealthy "he is banning sales of petrol, diesel and hybrids in 9 years time. Who in their right mind is going to buy a new petrol car a year or so before the ban with the uncertainty of a future petrol supply

Well i am not going to covert my command car to gas electric hydrogen or wood alcohol, it will remain as it left the factory. I am applying for planning permission to extend the dining room and living area fitting bi-fold doors . I will be draining all the fluids in the command car it will look great in the corner .The grand kids can play on it and the boot/trunk will make a great drop down bar.
