ArtistsRifles Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thats certainly an option Dave!! Thing is - I'm all psyched up to get to use the OT after both the long wait to get it and the "interesting times" I've been through over the last few months. To get this close then find it may well not happen despite all my best efforts is a real gut-wrencher mate, it really is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ives Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 i know neil i was like that last year:cry::cry::cry: but you would be able to use it at the bunker bash and have a play then:yay::yay::yay: you can always come out on the convoys with me and the wife and daughter can go in the rear if they want better safe than sorry heres hoping you can get the details of the ot90 to the dvla and get a set of plates straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPTA team Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Neil the thing is mate as this event is being held on Military land and I have had to sell my soul to get what I want. Like last year, were ever we went we were being watched and things were being logged. The same will happen this year and for many years to come. Something else I must say regarding the ranges, the Army are trying to dig up every bit of c**p they can to shut the ranges down to the public. I for one don't want to be on the receiving end of such actions nor any of my team. Im 100& sure if you have to come down in a car there will be plenty of room in some ones vehicle for you and the girls. All the best and hope to see you soon.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Don't worry mate - if it can't be used without issues to anyone then it won't. I'll move heaven and earth to get it registered/taxed in time. If I fail then either it won't be there or, if it's too late to cancel the low-loader, it'll just sit where it's off-loaded for the weekend. If nothing else people will get a chance for a good look! Just realized I've also got to sort out the first MOT for my vehicle and need to get to a class VII testing station (Ford F-250) - think I'm going to busy next week!!!

Grasshopper Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Neil, if you end up in a DVLA office with all your registration papers, make sure that you have the phone number of place that can make number plates for you, in the event that you manage to get it registered, you can pick up your plates on the way home! When i registered my 101 years ago, they were completely confused by it being ex military, but as i had all the correct forms and associated paperwork, they registered it. i ordered my plates on the way ack to work, and they were waiting for me when i got there.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks for the tip kind sir!! Question though - IF - they give me the ticket for the plates cannot a Halfords - or similar - be used?? They make up plates while you wait - had to have two made for caravans in recent years..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Halfords can but they tend to be a bit expensive, try ringing around for a price most places make them while you wait, only takes 5 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPTA team Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dave, the mileage will go on what time we get up sort brekkies and do all the security checks. We have routes layed out which I will go through with eveyone when they are settled. As for Roy giving away free beer, its only the warm stuff. Any news on Dougie?

DaveP Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Tony I presume it will be somewhere around the same sort of mileage as last year,I think I clocked 40 miles.. ish.:-D I don't know what Dougy's plans are, you obviously aren't talking enough dirt and filth to him,he needs more working on:n00b: All being well, I'll see you Sat morning although there's plenty of time for things to go t--s up yet:cool2: DaveP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 40 miles - definitely refuelling time!! Local filling station will think he's won the jackpot when (if???) the OT gets about 100 to 150 litres pumped into it!! :shocked: :shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ives Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i think it will be more than 40miles this year as we have more time :yay::yay::yay: last year we only had one night :nono:this year we are running friday to monday with trips each day so you had better double it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
