  1. Bill Fowler saw my "Mobile Army cinema" at W&P and was very keen for it to attend the 40's w/e, so it will be there, drop by and say hello
  2. Your Champ doesn't have any springs ??
  3. They are the same size and thread as the wheel studs, although the nuts used are deeper than wheelnuts, give Tony Sudds, TS Autos a call, 01322 863118 I'm sure he keeps replacement split rim studs in stock
  4. Through drive differential on axle 2 to drive front axle
  5. What do you think this 8X8 Merc is used for?
  6. A friend of mine sold the gang an ex military L/Rover that was one of the vehicles used to haul the loot away.
  7. "Must stop buying more vehicles at W&P show....its ok no ones seemed to have noticed yet", but residents are complaining about the rest in the next street though!
  8. Kemble airfield is private property! I'm sure TTM will have something to say...I've seen signs on vehicles pointing out private photographers are free to take pictures for their own use but NOT for commercial gain
  9. Have you tried Dallas Autos? specialize in Dodge bits 01635 201124 Most petrol engines of the period were designed to run on 30grade oil
  10. Mark, usually plenty of ex caravan 3 way fridges on Ebay, where I also bought an excellent 12v/battery powered shower unit
  11. The "P" suffix reg its got now would indicate it was registered in about 1976 ?
  12. Clive has lots of Ruddington auction catalogues
  13. And thats its Ruddington auction lot number, 731 painted on the number plate mount !
  14. Ebay is good, especially for US Army stuff...Ebay.com
  15. I'm sure the 514 Truck regt. Red Ball express guys would be interested, check out http://514th.co.uk
  16. Most of the films I showed at W&P in my cinema were sourced from USA, there are several companies that list hundreds of military films now on DVD, Vintage Video being one such company. British stuff is always of interest, though some is released through IWM
  17. Catweazle has a very original running TRW and a BSA, think he wants to sell the pair together with a trailer too
  18. Apparently it is a first for W&P, Pat did know what it was but wanted to know when it was built, how many, and how many survive. Pat then tackled CMV editor John Blackman about preparing an article and pics of my Mighty Mite, John reminded him it has already been done some months ago and is on his desk waiting for inclusion in a future issue
  19. My first MV was a Champ way back in 1966 ! err 42 years ago, followed by an M43 Dodge ambulance and my first Jeep in 1969, assisted the late John Cater of steam fair fame in promoting the first ever UK Military vehicle show at Shottesbrooke nr. Maidenhead in 1970? I think...
  20. So we can all chuck Robert into a big mudhole if it pisses down all next week !!
  21. That would be the year I won the heavy trial in my 6x6 Volvo
