Welcome to the gradually thawing out HMVF... Parking is either in the landrover section (follow the trail of broken spanners) or the Norwegian section (follow the dodge tracks or look for the snowchain mountain in the corner) :drive:
Fortunately my duties don't extend much beyond the keys to the biscuit barrel and turfing out drunks from the clubhouse bar past bed time... But there's an awfull lot of frantic paddling that keeps the erm graceful swan of HMVF moving. Joris Lee and the Boss are constantly firefighting... I rarely make it to the engine room as i don't have the keys and apparently drinking coolant is not becomming of an NCO :angel:
No, we didn't have to change we thought we'd do it just to annoy everyone...
And I'm pretty sure Joris enjoys time away from his family trying to keep the forum stable and all the work that entails:n00b:
Clearly Mr Dibnah was able to draw his own opinions also then :cool2:
but as this thread isn't about him but an event lets keep on topic and flaming goes for persons alive or otherwise
Possibly wrong but i always read POA as...
"I'm asking a F**kin' fortune for it but haven't the brass neck to claim just how much for fear of public ridicule :n00b:
Gotta say if i owned a zil I'd be tempted to take a geiger counter with me when buying spares!
Given that the Russian government apparently recommended vodka to counter the effects of radiation sickness at the time I wouldn't hold out too much faith in the scruples of russian based spares dealers :cool2:
Welcome Ian
sounds like you have the green sickness in a particularly advanced and probably irreversible form
you are however among friends and we understand and will not judge :yay:
Slightly off topic, but given the intensley cramped nature of the engine bays in tanks do you ever find old dropped tools and such when you're removing panels/engines that have rattled their way to the bottom over the years?
yes but i'd imagine that the authorities would make money on the sale of 2 vehicles they have never maintained
as opposed to spending money on vehicles they have to
That looks fairly solid in there to me. Is the transmission block at the front okay?
will it be an addition to the Barrell armoured column...
Oh and how big are the access hatches ... and when can i have a go in it?
and can i have it cause its rusty an' that and you don't really want it
swop you it for a pug 406... erm dodge... erm 5 year old kid (keeps her room tidy)
