  6. http://memolition.com/2013/10/16/time-lapse-map-of-every-nuclear-explosion-ever-on-earth/ "Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea’s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear)." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U8CZAKSsNA They let off a lot more than I ever figured
  7. Cheers.......... as it is getting sent to my UK company address I have to get people to keep an eye out
  8. I was lucky once to be in the UK when a tender was on..... nice video
  9. I sent a list of amendments to DVLA, on the correct form for the ACMAT, including the correct chassis number and model number. Typically, how long does it take them to send out a corrected V5?
  10. Two things I have been advised to do regarding AQIS.... 1. AQIS has a checklist so best thing to do is to contact them before the vehicle is shipped and ask if the checklist you have is the current and applicable one. This lets you know what has to be done but also lets them know you are not an easy target. I would go so far as to use the checklist and photograph each bit. 2. A little known fact is you can be there at inspection, they give every excuse that you can't be, but you can be there at the time of inspection. Classic excuse is HSE, which means you have to wear a hard hat, boots,, blah blah [ATTACH=CONFIG]84047[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]84048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]84049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]84050[/ATTACH]
  11. I like the philosophy that you own and paid for it so it is your choice what you do with it. If you feel it honours your friend and makes you feel ok then it has to be ok. Our condolences

  15. I was looking at the official website the other night with the fancy timer. I couldn't find the prices, have they yet to be announced for 2014? What does it typically cost to bring a vehicle in? Just having some crazy thoughts for July 2014 :nut:
  16. Tried to get up there today as was a day off, but no responses to phone calls or emails. Can see the place from Google earth so I will try to pester him some more and track him down as have to come back to here in a few weeks. I was half tempted to go take pictures of the Comet at the harbor defence museum but it appears that is the most interesting thing at the museum.

  22. yep, I forgot to mention intelligence corps they were all driving for. He would call the Bedford a TCV (Troop Carrying Vehicle). One of the other guys at work at the UK head office was a driver of armoured vehicles in Borneo and Aden. He was saying how he had one blown up by a mine under him. Apparently he has some interesting photos.
