Well, thank you all looks like Solihull has lost :whistle: HF

NOS was yours the oil engine or the V6 HF

Has anyone owned or owns one ? what do you reckon and what to look for ? Regards HF :? :-D

Whilst sat here with razor blade poised over wrist, thinking what other monumental debates can we have. Some people put their name up, some don't. Freedom of choice, you know that democracy thing we are losing :whistle: I really do not grasp the problem of using our handle/nickname, I can see benefits as we have agreed on. I do enjoy our debates, especially with so much input, we enjoy a mass debate. Hardyferretingpigmancanambombardierridingfromdeepestdorsetdrinkingalltherumandfoundermemberofthekillthecushionandwindjackupbrigade :evil: :evil: :whistle:

Cheerful birthday thought, You are now under a decade to your half centenary :whistle: :whistle: HMVF members have had a whip round and your bottle of 'Grey away' and Sanatogen are in the club house. On page 54 of the Jan edition of Saga magazine we have subscribed you too, you will find a nice Stannah stairlift, that will fit a Jimmy. :-D Welcome to the old b*st*rds club And have a very happy birthday :beer: From Hardyferret and 'ER :schocked: :schocked:

So then, consider how one vote's, and if I hear another person who say 'What's the point in voting, I won't make a difference' ' Who care's who's in their all the same' I'll scream as it is normally these people who will be the 1st to grizzle about this and that. Question these political Muppet's when they come to your door, I do and it makes for some enlightening conversation. MOD EDIT We live in a society where right and wrong no longer have clear cut lines, only the amount of votes in a ballot box, the size of the donation counts. Cynical ? You bet :whistle: We are as stated earlier misfits, who are 'tolerated' :? :?

Mrs HF surpassed herself, and found me a bottle of Pussers Rum :schocked: along with the enamel grog mug and plate. What a star :-D :-D :-D HF ;-)

As Mrs HF put, our nicknames do protect our identities from all sorts of low life. To be honest most of us have only met a few of the other forum members, and have no idea who we are conversing with :dunno: And I can't really see what the fuss is about, :dunno: HF Hardyferret as in Daily Mirror :?

Nice to be back from our holiday, went on an archaeological dig in Turkey. Hoping to get the hol snaps and Mrs HF back in time for Chrimbo :whistle: HF :-D

Paul, Zeniths were infamous for distorting and causing all sorts of problems. You have a choice A new genuine Zenith not cheap but will do the job properly :whistle: B Weber conversion good on fuel etc but restricts a bit C continue to b*gger about with w**ked out old carb which has been REME'd :evil: :evil: But do a compression test 1st it will tell you alot Kindest regards HF :-D

Be very concerned, I'm sure we are being watched quite carefully by our elected masters. The only reason we have our deacts at the moment is A / The Police and Govt view the enforcement of removal as a logistic minefield, with no record of ownership, and the possibility of many weapons going underground in the event of a ban B/ No one has stood up and spouted off in the media to start the reqd witch hunt with some power crazy junior MP looking for the main chance. Extreme I hear people shout, trust me we're on borrowed time If we want our hobby to continue, we need to fight and stand together HMVF, MVT etc, like with the VCR bill recently, it came very close then I know there will be people saying 'HF he's a drama queen', but it won't take much and then we will have a battle. Perhaps if we paint our vehicles pink, and wear leather lederhosen, we may get some sort of grant/aid as a diversity group :-D Just another thought, though we say what a permissive society we live in, look at the other day I posted a bit of humour, which it appears had people screaming for their report buttons in nano seconds and I bet we are viewed by many with a similar intolerance who given half a chance would use their delete buttons on us and what we represent. :-( So we hvae to accept we are not a PC group in any shape or form, and I think we have done very well on the lack of flak we receive :whistle: HF fed up with petty bureaucracy and PC = piffle and cr*p

I had a load of grief from my local firearms officer, when he came to do his inspection for my renewal. He did not like my slr which hangs in mounts on the lounge wall. He had quite a go about deacts and how it could be used in crime ie a bank raid, Even though the average crim can by an off ticket weapon for buttons I feel a lot of this gun problem stems from A DRUG crime ie turf wars B portrayal of guns within media ie film tv dvd etc and more importantly computer games. I'm fed up of seeing the hero hit by 1/2 doz 7.62 nato's and carrying on, in reality your lucky to survive a torso hit from one :schocked: GET REAL I grew up listening to my Uncle who landed with John Howard, and had fought through Italy, Father served in Africa after war seconded to the South African rifles, when Africa was being handed back before the Mau Mau and reprisals were brutal and savage As a kid I was swamped with conflict stories, but real ones not fantasy to fuel a desire to carry out wanton slaughter. Sooner our so called trick cyclists wake up and realise that if little Johnny is immersed in fantasy violence daily he will consider it the norm. Some of the recent so called computer games are sickening to say the least. And so called soft drugs are anything but. Sorry if I offend the legalise cannabis, freedom of expression etc brigades, but I enjoy if hobby, and do not want to see it destroyed, and the society we have by this mindless minority. So I will get of my soap box, and see what others say HF

Anything to do with Centaur? HF

Joking aside is this a piece of military hardware, it looks like it hinges in the middle for transportation? or a mini version of the rigging thing the sailors cavort on at Royal shows etc ? HF :-D aided and abetted by Mrs HF :-(

Is the banner attached to some sort of radar, or is this at a Dutch defence show, and a traditional display on a windmill Mrs HF voiced concern that the banner was fixed to dyke breaching equiptment :shake: HF :yay: :yay: :dancinggirls: :banana:
