  4. there seems to be a current trend of keeping prices secret why do people advertise vehicles without the price we have had the old POA now they just do not include the price often i have been interested but thought if they cannot put a price i cannot be bothered getting involved in a long conversation just to find out how much it is:-|

  6. brilliant a really good show if that format ie a dedicated military vehicle show can be brought to this end of essex even east anglia it will be a winner fed up with going to kent, fed up with the m25 , fed up with the whatever zone, situated nearer to harwich port, temple at war is trying but a proper show of that calibre in this area can only be great for the mv enthusiast :wow:
