I am just thinking that if I had thousands of pounds worth in my collection and then overnight, they essentially become worthless I would want to sell them as quick as I could, this doesn't seem to be happening.

Just a thought really but if the VCR bill goes through and it is seen as a huge threat to the deact industry then why aren't we seeing the price of them plumit, I would of expect to see a price crash.

Will have info after tomorrows meeting. Do you live in Dorset?

So can we expect to see more British MV out and about?

Welcome aboard, make yourself at home and look forward to seeing some pics of your jeep!

Hi Danzo. Nice to have you aboard and thanks for the heads up on legal issues, very kind of you :wink: Some great sites that Danzo moderates on and please find the time to check them out. Cheers mate. Jack.

Gun Crime Bill As you are probably aware the goverment is intending to ban the sale, import or manufacture of Replica and Deactivated guns, rather than deal with the core reasons for the problems, and enforcing existing laws. This will affect all collectors, businesses, re-enactors and living historians, so if you are thinking of buying a deac' for your collection do it NOW as ownership will still be legal, and If you are concerned about this write NOW to your MP and sign the petition at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/cb112233

We see mainly US vehicles at shows and get togethers... But who made all the British vehicles and where were they produced? Or did we no longer bother after the Lend Lease deal?

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks for the input Ken. I don't think any of realise how many groups and how many hobbies this will effect but I know that we are running out of time.

Hi Ross. Glad you could make it mate. Now, was your good lady expecting something a bit more traditional as a wedding car :shock: Cheers. jack.

Good to have you here Ken and please do make yourself at home Nice way of finding out about HMVF! :shock:

Hi Degsy. Yes you did :wink: ................just thought that it is a subject that a lot of people would be interested in. Plus the fact that I wanted to give you something to do :shock: Best wishes. Jack.

Decided to make this a sticky as it is such a huge subject and would be a great resource for members wanting to understand and mark sense of all of those markings and symbols. Some questions regarding markings/stencils; 1. Did all vehicles have standard markings. 2. I have seen some with markings on the petrol tank, bonnet and loads more without, is this a personal preference? 3. Again, I have seen on the tail gate 'left hand drive, no hand signals' but not on many vehicles. 4. What do the numbers mean that run on both sides of the bonnet. 5. What are the numbers on the bumper? 6. I have also seen people 'name' their vehicles, was this practiced during the WW2..... 7. How were British vehicles marked. 8 .Do we still mark our modern vehicles in the same manner. 9. What do the yellow disk mean on the front of vehicles..... Jack.

Hi Ross. Welcome aboard! That sounds like a special day out especially driving through the city centre seeing as it was pretty well blitzed. This site could of done with going live earlier in the year as we would all have time to work the shows out.........sorry about that :oops: I will let those who I know, know about it but please do take some pictures and post them up on here. What do you drive? Cheers. Jack.

Why is it that as soon as I buy a Deuce..............petrol hits and an all time high :cry: :twisted:

Thanks for that. Is it of WW2 vintage?

Nice history. Put a topic up in the US vehicles about your restoration and I will turn it into a sticky. Cheers. jack.

Morning mate. Where did the Mack come from?

:shock: :wink:

Thanks Tone, make yourself at home and again thanks for your help
