woa2 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you had a fantasy barn where you could store 10 Military Vehicles in, what would those 10 vehicles be? Money and resources no object, but make it realistic - no Tiger tanks. Also a trailer counts as a vehicle. If you want to keep your presemt vehicle, then include this as well. To start, here are my 10 vehicles. Ford WOT2 Ford WOA2 British Wartime Jeep with a 19 set fitted British Wartime 1/2 ton trailer Sherman Firefly tank AEC Armoured command vehicle (with all the radios & interior fittings) BSA M20 (Well I'll need an out-rider) British Universal carrier (Bren Carrier) Austin or Hillman tilly M8 Armoured car (ex-British Army, of course) Just wish I had the resources and money to buy them all. I can afford 2 at present, and that's my lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean101ryan Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was in a fantasy barn somewhere in Sussex a few years back looking at a 101 for a buyer. Guy opened one of his barns and it was full of fully restored kit. Chefitain, Abbot, MK, Gainsborough Tractor (absolutely mint!), Morris Comercial plus a load of other post war British stuff. I didn't get to see his other barn but I was gobsmacked by what I did see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Degsy, Well I used to repair them in Workshops, they usually needed a lot of work. They fascinated me, in how they worked, the drive being matched to the cutting speed, etc. and we always did functional test digs with them. They can be used to dig more than trenches, gun pits can be done as well. And to drive them, they are very reminscent to a WW2 3 tonner. As for the Perentie 6x6...........that is another, I have experience of, and the Mobile Workshop version is pure magic. I took an Australian Army driving test in one......long story ;-) Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 To be honest, I'd settle for the Fantasy BARN on it's own! Perhaps one day....... I'm sure I've got enough junk to fill it twice, and which most would probably consider a waste of a perfectly good barn :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
