WHEELS OF WAR PAST AND PRESENT Hi we are organising a military vehicle show here in Crewe, the venue is Crewe's Heritage centre ( mainly trains) but the venue is available and does'nt require tractors to tow you on or off!!!. I am looking for more local vehicles, but if you fancy one last outing before winter storage you're more than welcome (KEEPING THE RUNNING COST'S IN MIND.) to attend, wheeled or tracked and bearing in mind any Rolls Royce powered vehicles are more than welcome. For more info contact me thru the forum or on 01270 257813 or stevegrosvenor@talktalk.net Cheers Fasttrax

Hi Thanks for that, yes we only fill the left hand tank as we've had problems with the right before, we've cheched the points etc the only unusual thing we found was one of the retaining screws on the contacts was loose, the gaps checked out ok though.On the plug front how readily available are these items and how much can i expect to pay for a new set!!!!! Cheers FASTTRAX

HI ALL Im having a little trouble with my pig, it starts and ticks over nicely,we've drained the dodgy tank after running it on the right hand tank ( IT STOPPED TEN MINS IN)and finding a white residue around the fuel filter,and we think someof it has fouled the fuel line from this tank. When put under pressure ie: normal driving, it sounds rather like a farmyard tractor, it will reach possibly 35 mph, is this normal a normal road speed? It sounds like it has a misfire, we are about to check the carb for the residue.Has ony one got any other ideas other than the obvious. Cheers Fasttrax

Hi Yep you just gotta make the most of a bad job it adds to the atmosphere ( along with the odd beer!!!!!), i look forward to these sort of weekends what ever the weather! Fasttrax

Hi been quite for a time but have somme pics to throw on and a question to be answered. Does being a member of The Mvt cover you with public liability insurance for attending shows etc? The pictures show hopefully our complete range of vehicles, the Pig is at the back doubling up as our kitchen/admin area at our latest show Arclid Transport Festival. Cheers Fasttrax

This squadron was actually part of 1ADTR Bunde now 1LSR Gutersloh as im reliably informed.

Hi I'd say around mid 70's possibly 1976, then again i could well be way out!!!

re pig picies Last outings in 2008 and First outing this year 22/02/09

Cheers Clive with this we can try now to replicate and faricate new seats for the forthcoming season, i will endeavour to post pics as and when i get them. Cheers Fasttrax

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON TO ONE AND ALL, NEW YEAR AND NEW INCENTIVE!!!!!! no just more work, has any one out there in PIG LAND any decent pictures of the rear bench seats as fitted in a mk1. PS our first outing will be on 22/02/09 at South Cheshire Militaire, check out southcheshiremiliare.co.uk for more details cheers FASTTRAX

" bet you've heard this a million times" took the pig out of garage left it to warm up (no it didnt get knicked) secured the garage and proceeded to the start point for the day, cut out restarted with backfire, solution nip to the nearest petrol station (in car) fill the tank and carry on. Then cut out on a round about, having forgotten which way the petrol tanks lever should be pointing!!!!!!!!!!!! You can have a good laugh but i bet im not the only one it's happened to, a discreet answer as to which way the lever should point will help with future mind malfunctions, Cheers fasttrax

Hi We are trying to trace the history of the Pig prior to being struck off census, ie; which unit and were it as stationed etc. It was struck off on 02/01/1970 at Ruddington, any info will be appreciated. Cheers Fasttrax

hI CAN YOU REMEMBER WHEN AND WHERE THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN CHEERS

Hi any idea where i can trace more photo's and does any one do replica divisional markings! cheers

We find away but we're trying to find the right fabric, and we're fabricating the seats frames ourselves hopefully.

Thanks it will look better when we get the seats and the interior refurbed tastfully of course, and we've got the chor of refitting the winch sometime and giving it a good greasing for the winter. Fasttrax

HI cheers for that, dont know my mate delt with the previous owner, i think the picture was taken some years ago may be as far back as 2003, but not to sure, any info is appreciated. Fasttrax
