  1. Anybody on here going to the Victory show at Cosby (Leicester) this weekend it is a WW2 event with it's own airfield for WW2 war birds to fly into and land if previous shows are anything to go by this will be a stormer Commander
  2. The real bummer about this is I am away to Normandy for summer hols this weekend bugger bugger bugger lol Commander
  3. Finally got our hands on the WW2 105 Howitzer we have been waiting for it is a Rock Island model the thing we are missing is a manual for same and some advice on what to load for blank firing and yes I have a amendment on my licence to own and fire one just the knowledge and experience to learn safely how it is done Commander
  4. Well on the whole I thought it was pretty good, ok Kitcheners was a bit rough for camping but I've camped on a lot worse, toilets and showers on Kitcheners was a bit grim at times for the amount of people there, yes it was a slog to get around at times in the sun I must admit it passed through my mind to waylay one of those invalid scooter things, the biggest gripe we had was not with the organisers but on Tuesday morning when we got there was with a group that had marked off a large area and had 2 vehicles, on we set up our tents and then were told this is reserved for our group who are coming and we were asked to move which we did only to see only 2 more vehicles arrive and over half the area that was roped off left empty, the encampment next to us was set up when we arrived on Tuesday and Friday night people started to come and fill it up, next year we will be there over 500 miles for the round trip but it's worth it Commander
  5. I was there at 06.30 and the only thing I saw was that the showers were not working the toilets were and about 1 hour later nothing was working because there was no water Commander
  6. A lot depends on the country you are bringing it in from Commander
  7. I agree it is annoying to drive 250 miles to find vast areas roped off and only to get claimed later in the week or find that it is only half occupied maybe the organisers could come up with a system where by if it is not claimed or occupied to its potential they do not get to rope off again just a thought Commander
  8. There is an old WW2 USAAF airfield at Lessay in the next village to ours in Normandy and you could hire a 4 seater plane with a pilot and do the D Day beaches if I remember rightly it wasn't that expensive either Commander
  9. Has anybody seen the Carrier on Milweb for sale for £75.000.oo. is it just me or does anyone else think this is crazy money Commander
  10. I bought quite a large consignment from jerry a few years ago and it came over airmail very prompt with no problems commander
  11. Call in anytime for a looksee we have got loads of big boys toys Commander
  12. The Jet Provost making it's arrival back on the roof of the garage yesterday Saturday at Motor Clinic Longton after the new roof was finished enjoy Commander
  13. The cost of buying a diesel engine and having it fitted to a GMC would just be uneconomic unless you intended doing a massive amount of driving to recoup your investment I know diesel is cheaper to buy but you are only saving less than 10 pence a litre Commander
  14. Our 6X6 used to average about the 12 to 14 to the gallon mark averaging about the 40 to 45 mph and also have loads of space it was easier to drive than the GMC and a lot easier to manouvere around as well but I am biased in favour of Dodges also a Dodge will run on contaminated fuel i.e. diesel/petrol which have been drained out of cars that have been miss fueled upto a 15% mix at max which makes very cheap motoring a GMC does not run well on contam at all Ohh and I like your style with the Hotels Commander
  15. I am off to Normandy on the 29th of May in my Dodge Command Car and dropping down into Brittany first from Cherborg via Mont St Michel then looping around and coming up to the beaches for the 6th June not as far as you are contemplating I suppose but we have over 200 miles to drive in the U.K. to just to a ferry port good luck on your trip it it was me doing your trip I would go for a Dodge 6X6 Commander
  16. I have just got my firearms licence back from Staffordshire police and they have just passed my application to be added "4" live firing artillery pieces to be acquired it feels just like Xmas all I need now is to find some Commander
  17. And I have a Norton 16H which he would love to swop Commander
  18. First crack the nut off on the pipe that goes into the carb one turn should be enough then prime the pump and see if fuel comes out, if not next check the flexi connector to check this take the pipe out of the filter put your finger over the end then prime the pump you should get a suction on your finger if not you have a leak on the system if it has got suction reconnect the take the other pipe off the filter and prime again see if you heve suction if not the gasket on the filter is cream crackered Commander
  19. I'm glad someone on here got the Polsten I sent him an email and didn't even receive a reply Commander
  20. You will need to change the bracket if you buy the kit other than that just make your own it isn't that hard when you buy your alternator pick one that is a popular model i.e. from a popular car in the scrap yard that way you will have a plentiful supply of cheap replacements if you are still looking for a 12 volt starter motor I a spare commander
  21. You have still to buy a 12 volt distributer which are not cheap and a coil and leeds commander
  22. With al these exclusive events your attending can I make an appointment for an audiance Commander
  23. If you are putting a lot of weight in the trailer you really need to buy my M series jeep trailer they have an over run hydraulic braking system fitted as standard commander
  24. The ABWO site is 100% British and to be quite honest you would feel a bit out of place when going out on the runs in civvies and doing the race to the bridge it is a requirment for all the front runners are kitted out correctly you'll enjoy it I guarantee Commander
  25. I can recomend the ABWO site stayed there a number of times Commander
