Saracen tyres are 11.00 x 20 for Mks 1, 2 & 3 and 12.00 x 20 on the Mks 5 & 6. If you have runflats on already then you will have the inserts, but they aren't really run flat inserts, they are just to stop the tube from rubbing on the tyre and pinching when assembled. Chris

Vor, I haven't seen any runflat tyres for sale, but they were not always used. You may be able to find the Michellin XL tyres a bit easier. Try the ex-mod truck dealers. Also make sure your Fox is listed on my Fox website! http://www.cvrw.co.uk Chris

Berni, Yes theres still plenty of free food and drink on offer, and some unusual stuff to eat too! I saw the old military vehicle area, this year it was full of animals. I don't know if the weather put people off, but it was a good show despite the rain as there's so much other stuff to do. Chris

Berni, I hadn't been to Stoneleigh before, but aparently they moved all the vehicles last year into the spot furthest away from the main entrance, which is where we were this year. There were only around 50 vehicles, mostly quite packed together. There was loads of free space, which was annoying as we were told the show was fully booked. We only managed to get a pass because someone we knew wasn't able to take a vehicle. I did not see any moles.... Chris

We got a bit wet... Chris [attachment deleted by admin]

Those of you who own more than one vehicle will know what an achievement it is to have them all attend at least one show a year. We have 4 vehicles, having just sold one, and all of them have been to at least one show this year! The Fox has been under restoration for the last four years, and after not making it to two shows this year finally made it to a quiet and wet Stoneleigh. Chris [attachment deleted by admin]

Looks like a T55 to me...

You could just right click on it and save it?!

It's just a set of bevel gears, I don't have a great photo, only this one... http://www.sirhc.co.uk/gallery/album/Ferret/Ferret%20Restoration%20(145).JPG[/img]

Paul, I wouldn't waste my time with paint stripper if I were you. When I did a bare metal respray on my Ferret I used a Needle Scaler and an angle grinder with a wire cup brush to finish off. The wings and bins etc were sandblasted and then powder coated. I put a coat of red oxide on first, then went over it with Nato green. I have since been told that a coat of gloss green over the red oxide would have been better to keep the corrosion at bay, but mine hasn't a speck of rust and I did it 5 years ago. The whole job only took a couple of days. http://www.sirhc.co.uk/gallery/album/Ferret/Ferret%20Restoration%20(125).JPG[/img] http://www.sirhc.co.uk/gallery/album/Ferret/Ferret%20Restoration%20(132).JPG[/img] http://www.sirhc.co.uk/gallery/album/Ferret/Ferret%20Restoration%20(134).JPG[/img] Chris

Works fine for me! Give them a call, 01476 861361. Chris

Try Withams... http://www.witham-sv.com They always have loads of them at shows. Chris

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&item=150021478867&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Someone must have £450 and somewhere to put it? I'd buy it if I did... Chris

Yes it was... once. Now it's covered in oil! Chris

Jack... I have one of those tents, in my Spartan, at the Hop Farm 200 miles away. I might be able to have a look once I get it back, otherwise give Anchor a call and see if they can help. http://www.anchorsupplies.com Chris

How's that? Chris

Here is a link to a video of the CVRTs driving around on the Saturday. It's 9mb so you might want to right click on it and select 'save target as..' http://www.sirhc.co.uk/cvrt_belt_sat.wmv Chris

I only made it on the website once and I was in the arena every day :cry: Chris

If I can get the Spartan there again next year then no problemo! Still not got it back yet though, bit annoyed as it's been there 3 weeks now and I have no idea when it is coming back. Chris

I am never visible in the arena photos because I am always hiding in the driving seat, maybe I should paint my helmet pink next year?! Chris

I'd love to see the NV pics, stick them up on here. Thanks again for the wood! Chris

Who was the girl with pink hair? I kept seeing her everywhere! Chris

Mark, The 432 had 3/4 of a tank in it when we got it, so we just keep topping it up. I have no idea how much petrol or diesel is in the fuel, but it burns it all and goes very well! I would just pour it in and see how it runs. Chris

Mark, Buy some 220 liter plastic drums and store it in them, somewhere safe and out of the way. When we bought the 432 we were offered as much fuel as we could take from a recovery company. I found a local company who sold plastic drums for £10, hired a van and filled up 4 of them. I still have 2 left in a friends field... Chris
