Enigma

Wildenberg in Holland probably has them.

They are between Arnhem and Utrecht

He said dream - period!! Not two thirds expensive nightmare one third dream!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

:cry:

Provided you've a fire engine at each end to blast the salt water off/out you can't beat doing a booze cruise in a Stalwart - no ferry fare to pay!!

 

Did anyone actually do that?

Beltring last year.

A house for the owner, a companion and nice barn to sleep...

I'm walking too and not whining (yet), but the fact the I do not have my boots scare me though....

 

No boots? How come?

Dutch postwar ones look like Para jumpboots.

I got a pair size 42, uesd but ok.

How did they call it? A Blub blub.....

LOL..best post up some pictures and I hope you charged Joris a fortune :-D.....he comes from Holland, he can afford it :-D

 

Hmmm, well actually I haven't painted one yet.

I didn't overcharge Joris... :-( he is a freshly married man now so he needs it when pans go flying.....

That's cool... you may have guessed I tried to drum up some bussiness for my repro helmets.

Life is expensive and my income poor...

I see a revolution brewing.

Let kick out those guys (or wee in their drinks.) :shake:

Take into account it can get VERY hot!!!

Last year the heat knocked out a lot of people, 1 even died. Guess he wasn't prepared for 35 Celsius heat and sun.

Never participated myself, lots of serving soldiers also march.

Oi Jack

Got a helmet?

Joris has a GREAT repro :-D (para).

Maybe a nice 2nd armoured painted one?

:tup:

I can imagine primer being eaten off by the gasoline and clogging your pipes and carb.

Sorry! 1 stone equals 14 pounds, 8 stone is a hundredweight (112 pounds) and 20 hundredweights is 1 ton (2240 pounds)

25 stone is 350 pounds!

 

Thanks, now I know what weight you refer too. :wink:

It may be a Dutch conversion.

If I remember correctly a Dutch company converted them in a standardised way.

Just read the new articles.

Well done, thanks Jack. :tup:

A 1/2 ton Dodge? Pics please... :-)

Thanks for the ready excuse but I am 6 foot 3 as it is. Any taller and I would have to fold in half to get into my Valentine: I have no seat padding or overhead padding as it is. I was told by a veteran that he was the ideal size to drive one at 5 foot 4 but at just under 8 stone (he grew up in the depression hit 30's of course) he had to push the steering levers forwards each time with his foot! I can nearly do it with my gut!

 

Big Al on this forum has had a go and he is no lightweight but another friend at 5 foot 8 and admits to 25+stone got in and out but he said he couldn't breathe while he was in there so couldn't drive it or he would have passed out. I suspect that if you apply the height/weight thing I would have to sit on the radiator filler cap to drive. My mate would have to run behind. He does fine on his Turan 5 though!

 

Weight in stone doesn't mean anything to me...I've been in a Dingo and had to fold to try and look through the vision ports but still to long..

Yep me also. Can't get to the gallery without :argh:

For me the other way round.

I am too tall for my weight.

Ok I am down right skinny, can wear all the old uniforms although they are to short...

I've seen a Mini Jeep body here in Holland at a MV dealer.

Don't know how much it costs and you'd have to get a chassis, engine and axles.

Guess my nephew would like it, hell I'd like it for myself...

:-D

 

See, here's the problem, ask ten people get ten answers...

 

Guy in the pub last night almost sold me on the notion of a good example of a 110FFR and some radio kit.

 

Any particular reason why dodges are so popular hereabouts?

 

For WW2 people they have good price/quality ratio.

Not as expensive as a Jeep, not to big, reasonable fueleconomy.

In Holland we only need a normal carlicense.

Spares readily available and lots of room inside.

Nice!!! So you've put all the bits back where they belong?

 

Yep, no spare parts left. 8-)

Great vid chaps and great music............ :schocked:

 

Enigma - I have some Belgium friends so watch it :argh:

 

Hmmm, while we're at it we may as well retake that obstinate province ... :evil:
