keep the pics coming(an old modeller from years ago)...........

really looking good mate .......................

engine might be flooded .................

really nice today here , been on beach most of day...............

local runway filled in with jeeps, harleys etc , had it confirmed by one of the gi s that did it.......................

Rumour had it years ago the Gi 'S stationed local during the war asked a local lad they had befrended what he would like as they were shipping out " a jeep "was the reply, many years later at a rally an old guy with a jeep turned up, i asked him about it , and he told me it was left for him by the yanks when they went .Makes you wonder!!!........

we drove through the show ground to the designated area , there is no way you could push a pram mate or for that matter sit down . i would not take my children ..........

indeed................

ok cheers mate......

im not saying dont go , just let people know how muddy it was and the welcome you get......

Well today we set off for chipping , been looking forward to it all week . Got there to be met with mud nearly 2 foot deep in places ,(that explains the numerous classic cars ,bikes and trucks we saw going the other way!!even our friend with a tank said he would not bring it out onto this!!)To get into the military vehicle area we had to go through the middle of the deep stuff. This is fine if you want your truck filthy , but as someone who appreciates what they have and has spent many years and much money getting it how they want , i asked the guy "organising"(**** up and brewerey spring to mind ) If he could move a freelander slightly we could all get onto the area , with out more ploughing up. This was met with its only mud !well it might be but i dont go to rallies to off road , i would buy a shagged land rover for that purpose !! Despite asking again he refused .(only had to move it about 6 feet) How can the show scene expect a good turn out from us lads , if your met with that attitude . Go by all means if you like mud !! Dont go if you appreciate your vehicle , the time you have spent on it , the money you have invested in it.......:coffee:

that would be really great Andrew cheers mate , ..........

after some track rod ends if anyone knows where i can get some (thnk they have grease nipples on if i remember right)also brake master cylinder (IN PIC)......
