Marmite!!

Told you so :whistle:

You can use red diesel, if it's a diesel of course

 

No you can't if you use it on the road for Non-Agricultral use.. http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/2006/06/08/91743/red-or-dead-your-red-diesel-questions-answered.html

Talking of which, there are (fingers crossed) some Falklands era reenactors coming along with a nice display, anything amongst your members that could be used by them as a static backdrop? hopefully as vehicles get booked in we will be able to borrow one or two correct period Landys, it is after all the 25th of the Falklands, something which I have hardly seen mentioned anywhere. Not popular or glamorous enough I guess....

Not many vehicles out there for Falklands Campaign displays..

From EMLRA Forum

There were no army landrovers on the Falklands during the actual campaign. The first landrovers only appeared after the islands were retaken. During the war itself the transport was mostly the tracked BV202s and a few Bedford trucks and Eager Beavers for logistics. There was some strange order that restricted the number of wheeled vehicles due to space shortages on the ships, but everyone could take as many BV202s as they liked.

Here's a few more photos..

From the EMLRA Forum

could all those who are interested in the updating of the VED "Historic Vehicle" taxation band please visit this link and sign the petition:

 

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ClassicRoadTax/

 

The proposal is to bring the tax band forward by ten years to 1982, do it now :up

We have covered this already last year and it was dismissed for the above reasons.....sorry :-D

 

Good.. anyway we are chatting now, aren't we :dunno:

I notice there are quite a few of us on here this evening and i thought, hmm , we need a chat room!! :whistle:

 

Trouble with chat rooms is that a lot of useful info gets lost.. if we were all on a chat room what would be posted on here :dunno:

Here you go John - the orginal ad:

As one of our Fellow members lives at the epicenter & is affected by this hurricane I thought it was only right to put this appeal on here, JT (FV601) this is for you mate ;-) :-D :-D :-D

ESSEX HURRICANE APPEAL

A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and earthquake measuring 5.8 on the

Richter Scale hit Essex in the early hours of Friday with its epicentre in Basildon.

 

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".

 

The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage.

 

Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol

were damaged beyond repair

 

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were

woken well before their giros arrived. Essex FM reported that hundreds of

residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to

terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Basildon.

 

One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was

such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying.

 

My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was

Still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning."

 

Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

 

The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny

Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.Rescue workers are still

Searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal

belongings,including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at

Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

 

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those

unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most

sought after - items most needed include:

Fila or Burberry baseball caps

Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)

Shell suits (female)

White sport socks

Rockport boots

Any other items usually sold in Primark.

 

Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.Required

foodstuffs include: Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice cream, Cans of

Colt 45 or Special Brew. 22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation

forms. £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9. £5

buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

 

**Breaking news**

 

Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry alco-pop.

'Where are you bleeding from?' they asked," ROMFORD" said the girl, "woss that gotta do wiv you?

 

Please don't forward this to anyone living in Essex - oh, sod it, they

won't Be able to read it, anyway.
