What a lovely looking vehicle.....:-) Everyone should have one.... Regards Lloyd

New Thread Alert......Ultimate Dodge Accessory !!!....:-) Regards Lloyd

Hey NOS..with all the latest "intel" my Jeep doesnt seem so wrong after all does it....;-) Regards LLoyd

International made the M series mate..M425 and M426..nice looking Trucks...i toyed with the one recently for sale in Belgium....but then finding the "big bit" on the back may prove to be elusive.... http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=47949&cat=4 Look nice on an Air Corps display eh Bodge ? Regards Lloyd

Just in case you guys wanna emulate...;-) http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Drink-Coca-Cola-Bottle-Opener-STARR-X_W0QQitemZ190339881206QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c512418f6 The 22 indicates this one was made in 1922...so DEFINATLEY the right era......:-) Regards Lloyd

Thats my girl.....nice detail pictures....the photo actually IS "CONNIE" thats my mum Connie taken in 1944 outside her house in Milton Ernest,Beds....hence the jeeps name. Regards LLoyd

Yeah..what he said..:-)...NOS please feel free to post up pics of my 42 Willys that you have taken....like you say at least the "accesory" is period... Regards LLoyd

Ah yes a nice event that NOS at Snetterton i had 2 of my Jeeps there the 8th AF Service Command Jeep was mine also.......CONNIE is a typical representation of a US Armored Recon Jeep and cluttered up as period pics show and bear out with KRat boxes..coffee pot ..bustle rack etc etc all useful in field things......just be thankful it didnt have the 60mm mortar in the back LOL ..like it usually does. I agree there are some very overcluttered jeeps out there c/w kitchen sink but hopefully mine was just right... Right i am off to find Bodge and give him a slap Regards Lloyd

What about E/506th markings..:-)...NOS where did you take the pics of "CONNIE" at which event ? Regards Lloyd

OK so now you guys have finished slagging my 42 Willys MB.....thats a genuine STARR X brand 1927 dated coca cola bottle opener...when i restored this one of my 2 jeeps it had 2 holes there in the tub..i had NO idea of what to put there or what was there i saw an original pic of a coke bottle opener mounted on the dash of an 8th USAAF jeep and i thought no way.....so i won one on EBay (these openers were not dated after 1935 ) offered the bottle opener up to the original tub holes and they lined up perfectly. I amn not saying thats what was there originally but i am sure some enterprising GI "may" have mounted one there......certainly useful and Bodge you missed out the obligatory baseball bat and mitt and E/506th markings.....:-) Regards Lloyd

Bags i touch it first wednesday evening when i get to Beltring....;-) i agree Ade that part of Essex is really SUFFOLK anyways....:-) Regards Lloyd

Adrian isnt Gavin and Daryl and Gordons an M4A2 ? with the diesels in it Regards Lloyd

This thread makes me feel quite nostalgic..i used to own a WC52 which was a WC55 in previous life chassis number 81529098.....the 98th one off of the production line...Ex Norway and still had all the early features and re enforcing plates on the chassis......:-( Sold to a very good friend of mine from Worcester so she is still around..:-) regards Lloyd

Hopefully see you all there from Thursday onwards......i got a lot of stuff to buy including some more MB spares and a flysheet for my small wall from some dodgy bloke from Dorset ? Any up to the minute weather reports from COMZ ? Regards Lloyd

Hey Doc it will they aint hard to restore and parts are still available fairly easily. regards Lloyd

Here ya go Doc a couple more of mine Regards Lloyd

Hey Doc welcome to our side of the pond..... Regards Lloyd (another M20 owner)

Hope so mate i will have your drift and "coin of the realm" for you sir...also i can collect my 2 stud spare wheel carrier from you if i win the EBay auction...:-)Cheers mateLloyd

Taking my M20 armored car (hopefully) and the better "arf" is taking her Jeep and Bantam Trailer....in the 2nd Armored area topside of Americas field..you pass us on the way out...:-) Going down wednesday afternoon Hope it dont rain this year Regards Lloyd

Hi egdod...go to the Suffolk MVT homepage and download the entry form..we are off and running AGAIN...:-) Regards Lloyd

See ya there Bag man..i may even be able to pick up my 7 ton "skip"..:-) Regards Lloyd

Christ my M-20 armored car can FLOAT...:-) Have booked sunshine for august... Regards Lloyd

Lloyd, I don't suppose it would be possible to pop up and have a look at your two jeeps as we're off to look at some jeeps for sale next week and it would be useful to have a closer look at a jeep before we go? Jon feel free to ring me 01440 703133....DONT GO AND BUY A WRONGUN !!!! just remember ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD in the Jeep world. Regards Lloyd

I will be there on sunday too..if i cant get the bloody M20 running sharp......:-( then i will be there with the better "arf" in her 1942 Willys.... Looking forward to it Regards Lloyd
