  1. If you read my earlier post you can see that I spoke to the current W&P team at length at Malvern in March. I came away much happier.

    Of course I could have been lead up the garden path, BUT that was'nt the impression I received, they seemed fair and honest, yes they agreed they wanted to do away with "scammers".........

    Putting that phrase in context means the white transit with "UN" stuck on the side with parcel tape. Before we all get heated and say the UN does have white transits and do use parcel tape, I think most of us on here know full well what they mean.

     

    At least 1 UN van had paid for the show (not a MVT member) and didn't have markings made from tape.

    So is that a scam?

     

    Not more than a Mahindra on a WW2 display, or a civilian Jeep in military colour.

  2. Three runs out today and all seemed ok. No sign of leaks around the head, no sizzling from inside the head, and the radiator level remained unchanged. The head was torqued down twice, with the nuts hardly moving the last time. It's back away in the garage again now, but things are looking hopeful for still attending the Crank Up on Sunday.

     

    Hopefully it won't give any more problems.

  3. Many thanks for this information modello. It is really interesting.

     

    The sad news though is I just had to sell my vehicle. - I've been out of work for over 8 years, have had all applications for state assistance rejected and still had household bills to pay. So last weekend the very bitter decision had to be made to part with my vehicle. Now feeling absolutely gutted :(:(

     

    Sorry to hear that mate.

    You're overdue for some good luck.

  4. Why didn't Shermans use side screens like some of the German tanks did.

    With the ever present panzerfaust and -schrek danger it would have given adequate protection.

    Or were the tracks on the side basically the same thing but with added protection against anti tank grenades?

     

    See here for German examples;

  5. The prize goes to Starfire! it's a play on words using the FN and and an old TV series called "The Fall Guy"

     

    I've been using this handle for years on various forums. First time I've ever been asked about it.

     

    I think I'll like it here!
