  1. Thats interesting Ted, so it is a K3. I had assumed it to be a K4 probably like many others would have.
  2. The posts are quite old now, I know of the Karrier initially in the thread but wonder whats happened to the one posted in December 2016 by GeirM?

  4. Agreed, it will be a K4. A ladder escape unit.
  5. An already very heavy machine, I wonder how much extra weight the armour plating added!
  6. The Riker thread has just been talking about machines used during the Boer war!
  7. Absolutely superb. I really do like the look of this truck. Would like to see it in the flesh at Evesham.
  8. In 1902 it was cavalry and foot. Machine guns were in use by then, British and Austrailians using the Maxim and the Boers using the Colt 95. Iirc it was nicknamed the potato digger but I could be wrong.
  9. Absolutely brilliant! Very much a well done to you guys. The detail is superb.
  10. That really does look a good source of spares. Even the smallest items are invaluable to a restoration project. How did the tractor dealer come about it?
  11. It does look very good, I agree being locked down near your vehicle is ideal!
  12. So in short, if you know of an interesting project on the continent get a move on and get it snapped up!
  13. It looks really good, such a good use of your time whilst on Furlough!
  14. Well Al that does sound like some progress in tacking it down. Did the chap give you any leads to the owners who have had her since he did?
  15. Now that does look good, well done on a very good job.
  16. Its a lovely truck, I presume it must simply be the price holding buyers off?
  17. You can say that again, that is a fine sight and some superb workmanship.
  18. That forum thread is really interesting. There is a nice Commer Q4 towards the end.

    This is quite a thing on Youtube, finding abandoned places and filming them. I recall seeing one and the place was packed with vehicles of all eras, filmed of course without permission. The interesting point was that I recognised a couple of the vehicles so knew whos property it was and it certainly wasnt abandoned!
