    Diamond T's are a heavenly truck, but if you have the original hercules engine it may hurt the pocket a bit in fuel consumption Jack. If money was no object and I had a giant shed I'd get one. But things are not like that...unfortunately :(:x :cry:

    Hi all,

    Well thats quite odd you should say that alien ftm because the vehicles history said it served with the 14/20th Kings Hussars, the 17/ 21st Lancers sticker was just stuck on there when it was being restored to make it 'look good, in the history it doesn't say anything about serving with the 15/19H, but yes it certainly is an early example because the plate inside says it was on contract 4267 which was ordered in 1951 I believe, she went into army service on the 4th of March 1954 and stayed in Hong Kong until 1972. But then again, it served with the royal horse guards for a while and could have possibly been to the Gulf in 1991. 1978 hmm.. have to check the History.

    P.s Steve sure you can meet up with us at wimpole.

    Hello,

    Probably too far for Richard but Clophill village fete is on the 17th June, they said they wanted more people to come and they want to make the show bigger and better, so perhaps we could do a TEAM run there? Over the last few years I can remember it not being that brilliant, but who knows, it could have expanded and got better. I'll contact the guy if you're willing to go.

    To drive - or not to drive, that is the question!!

    Hi Neil,

    I would probably drive much further than my usual 40 miles radius if I was staying at the show over the weekend, if it's just a steam rally or small MV show i'll stick to my usual 40 miles, I've only just bought a custom trike and I'm not sure how far i'll travel on that. Haven't done any shows with that so can't wait for the show season to come. I've had a few problems with it over the past few weeks so I think I need to learn to trust it and be sure it won't break down before I will do any long-distance runs.

    P.S Please do not kill me for mentioning something that is not military.

    Hello,

    Yes they could have done the same as in Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, just took another vehicle and disguised it, it only looks good when it is done properly though. I think they done a good job on saving private ryan but the most obvious thing you spot is the 'tigers' track shape. In B of B the Stug was actually a 432, I didn't spot it at first but when I took a closer look I saw that the gun mantlet was slightly different and of course the tracks.
