  1. Diamond T rocks... I think everyone would agree on this one :-).That was the point I was making about Land Rovers..
  2. Here here, best idea I have heard all day !!!
  3. Looks like a nice little Ferret... I seem to have problems tendering at Withams, every bid I enter is rejected as being too low!!! I think they are a little greedy...
  4. Yes, one of my Polish lads used to drive one in the army and he says that they were great trucks.
  5. It appears to have a perfect top gear overdrive to give a relaxed cruising speed. I am just trying to find which 'box works best.:-)
  6. Yes Lee it would have had considerable psychological effect methinks:-).
  7. Is anyone going to Sheffield today/tomorrow? The MVT are involved with it so there should be quite a few MV's there...
  8. I think that this is one museum that is a must see. I will be planning a trip to Switzerland in the near future.... Won't tell the other half about the museum yet though :-).
  9. IMPS were great, very helpful. They will date it for you.:-)
  10. I have not seen the 'Top Gear' programme but the results are completely at odds with what I see everyday in my garage!!! Modern Land Rover products cannot hold a candle to Toyota's vehicles. Unfortunately they are no more AEC,s Scammells or Gardner diesel engines and there was a time when the early Land Rovers were the best in the world but sadly that is just not the case anymore. I am pleased that people buy LR products because it keeps British people in jobs.. And me busy repairing them :-).
  11. I am angry that a woman in Blackpool defiled the War Memorial. I cannot believe that she has escaped a custodial sentence.This hideous creature should have been birched. I would have come to Lancashire and implemented the punishment myself. I sometimes lose confidence in the judicial process....
  12. A channel section chassis is superior for corrosion resistancy but is heavier than a box type chassis of an equivalent rigidity.I have never had a problem with a Toyota chassis,though :-)
  13. A mate of mine wants 2 Ural 4320's for drill rigs. How much is a good chassis cab,Paul?

    Paris

    Probably the most romantic city in the world. I rather like the picture of Adolf Hitler with the Eiffel Tower behind him.
  15. I do personally believe that Dieppe was a political rather than a tactical mission to appease Josef Stalin and many fine men lost their lives in what was a futile attempt to sugar the Soviet leader. I cannot honestly believe that anyone in the War department actually thought that this 'invasion' or experiment would have a successful conclusion????
  16. The B26 Marauder is one of my all time favourites. I last saw one in flight ten years ago at Kermit Weeks' place in Florida. Fantastic. The model looks just as fantastic!!!
  17. A shame. I hoped that someone might have got some of Bernadette! I was the only vehicle to have no passengers... Billy no mates! The Mrs was looking in the dress shops!!! Anybody would have been welcome for company :-(.
  18. Unfortunately they do wear out rather rapidly !!!!:-)
  19. As Gordon Gekko said, Green is good... Or was it Greed????
