I know for a fact google eath has been used to aquire telehandelers and mini diggers it has also been used to look for lead on buildings and diesel storage tanks on building sites. Lets just say the person/ persons who supplyed this info are helping the police with their inquiries.

Started wiring the inside up tonight all is coming together well even the trips work in the isolater box. just cleaning the Prince of darkness dip switch and decided it was far to chilly and the wood stove in the garage had gone out:embarrassed:. So near to a road run now really need to get the paper work sorted:nut:

Post edited. Sorry but living so close to Holy Head ferry terminal 99'9 precent of the time it's vans with irish plates that are seen in the area when stuff goes missing. We have a very nice local scrap man who is of Irish origin and and even he has problems with said irish traveller. Did i mention my brother in law is irish to?

:idea:you could always keep looking and just give us an up to date tally of how many you find and in what condition without the pictures

Ok had to refresh about 25 + times before it came round:sleep:

Is it the thing that flips from footman james to allied forces when you refresh? thata all i get if i'm looking at the right bit:blush:

those propshafts are running as steep as the full size:shocked: You know you have to crawl under it and grease them every 30 miles:-D You also need to put a red hot exhaust silencer just under it so you can burn yourself on it.

It would have been a nice thead but unfortunatly there are people out there who will use this info for their own gain. Don't feel bad i'm not cross or upset just like my stuff where it is:thumbsup:

My scammell is also clearly visable on gogle earth and street view and as the house is in the middle of nowhere and there are also many other pieces of old iron in the back yard that can be "lifted" the less that know the better. being in the middle of knowhere it's hard to find on google earth (i think) as the ba$*&d thieving irish travelers have liberated the contents of the diesel tank once already (ok it was mainly dirt and water:cool2: and save me a job) i would rather you didn't.:stop::tup::

Looks like you've been having a whale of a time what with being pushed up that hill at dorset and bursting the tyres on that trailer.....just how big was the curb you hit:cool2: you know you've gotr it fastened on the wrong end don't you? you'll end up with a stiff neck like that:D

You'd have thought with all the fun he's been having he'd would have posed the odd piccy or vidio to give us statics some insparation. Perhaps he dosen't want to play with us now his truck moves:embarrassed: Come on Andy lets go sit in the cab and make engine noises:pfrt:

Huge milestone today:D Fitted the headlights and wired them up. Might not seem like much but i had forgot how good it looks with its face on:wow: And no danger of any Andy andy related light bending either (But there is a slight chance the front wheels might chomp them off on full articulation and full lock:red: We we have to check that out me thinks) Was so impressed i had to stand in front of it tonight and stare at the super bright halogen newness. Its even got side lights in the headlamps now:cool: how posh it that? And all for £20. they arn't quite the same as the military bowls but seem to fit with a little shuffeling( to get them in the center of the housing rubbers....they are a tiny bit smaller i think unless the military ones are the same) P.s not good to stare into a pair of halogen lights then try and walk accross a dark yard and over wire fence especially when the cat and dog have got a bag on cos they haven't been fed.....compleat arse over tit moment:nut:

Did you manage to get to said show was it any good:-)

Here you go page 25 of the mot licence exemptions ect. thread:-)

Antar Mike said that was the way to go in another thread a while ago. I'll try and find it Somthing to do with exemptions ect. he knows the score:D

There isn't a horn big enough to overcome the loudness of the exhaust so i'm just fitting a tiddler. Anyway the larger the horn the smaller the pe$is or so they tell me:cool2: still wireing up the lights now the landy has been beaten into submission. jobs left to do are electrics, mirrors, adjust the brakes, fit a return on the injectors cos is just leaks on the floor at the mo,change the oil in the back axle. will sort out the rear timber work as and when so will be running light for a while. at present i have no log book ect but the scammell is on the dvla data base as a blue scammell recovery truck ( i found the reg number on an old tax disc) It is on a Q plate with a build date of 1983 i think:nut: Pretty sure no chassis number is recorded whats the best way to go about this sort of thing? I want to tax it as historic and it will have to be changed to locomotive. Should i give them a ring about sorting out the current reg number or is it best to start from scratch? Should i ask for a log book then try and sort out the age thing and clasification? What forms do i need to sort it all out? arrrgh i hate this sort of thing:cry:

Yep thats the one many thanks:D

anyone know where i can get a toilet chain air horn valve from in this country? nothing on ebay at the mo. always wanted one any cheap supplyers?

also had this with my landy last week, renewal was £260 up from £160 last year so i phoned sure term who quoted £220 then foot man james who quoted £170 then got back to my innsurance who came down to £170 also. Why not qupte me £170 the first time instead of £260?? Anyway went with footman james cos they offerd free breakdown recovery, Fully comp cover and with unlimited milage, Also really helpfull and quick to pick up the phone:D

Been a while since i posted anything up but i have been trying:blush: I now have rear lights fitted and front indicators, butler side lights and a flashing beacon! The land rover halogen replacement headlamps fit nicely into the military housings. not fitted yet but should be nice and bright and they even have little side lights built in:-) Anyway progress is on hold again cos the landy is in a thousand bits and the welder is in full swing on the bulkhead:iamsmiling:

I started reading this loke to myself when her indoors asked what it was so i started again. I would recomend you read it outloud to someone before reading it to yourself for hysterical laughter. there is no foul language:trustme: but so well written:D don't want to waste bandwith so feel free to remove after a short while:thumbsup: Anniversary - Tazer Stun Gun Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul)while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best ... I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD .. . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE ....!!! I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return! P.s... My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it! If you think education is difficult, try being stupid !!! ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT TH

I also have another joke about a tazar if you like but it is rather long:blush:

sorry can't help with the lights but they are yellow the same as :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

The tyres also make a great noise when you lob it into a corner a bit to fast and roll the bar grips onto their edges, Feels like the wheels are going to fall off with all the viberation:D They go like stink for a landy even with the ambulance body. We never got to off road it cos it was a bit to wide and a very nice example.
