Wow thats a belter... I keep daydreaming about flogging the dodge and getting a 30's car

Happy Birthday Olaf May your hemets be all front seam

The build number sounds right for the date You can, or could...(I think you still can) send off to Chrysler in the US and give 'em the frame number and they'll send you a photostat of the original build card... ISTR it was about £12.

Does that mean that the MKII ketchup which is not AP rated will need to be replaced also... and what about reactive cheese slices?

Yep none too impressed by the 'scattergun' photoshopping... Given the amount of effort the reenactors & vehicle owners went to to look the part in the picture it seems a shame to paint all over them... Snow on the ground...yes... 4 inches of snow on everyones shoulders... erm no...

Looks straight enough. They are always a bit of a salad when it comes to parts as they were (like the french jeeps) dismantled and rebuilt when serviced / overhauled. Mine has the access body but a short step too and i know of 2 others that are the same. I also knew of a 6x6 that had the opposite ie a step that ran too far under the body... We were gonna swap till i realised that I couldn't be arsed Brakes will be crap and will need sorting ~(they always are!) Check oil pressure and check for smoke etc... but they pretty bomb proof Recon on about another 300/600 for canvas, mirrors, servicing bits brake stuff etc and around 500 for bar tread tyres (if you want to go that way... I ran mine on cloverleafs for years and had a nice stockpile of them from people swapping over to BT's) I only swapped when i found a set od NOS bt's badly listed on ebay n got 'em for nowt) To be fair though this is a gradual outlay, not all at once

Thats quite conservative compared to some of the assembly ships But they were supposed to be as 'loud' as possible so it is in context and still correct I like assembly ships there are some really whacky ones

I suspect a lot of stuff will fail to reach reserve Seller thinks "Thats rare" Buyer thinks "There's a pile of them over there for a fiver each!!"

Not fancied going for the 'rack ?

another planet rocker eh?

steady...

Ian 'n' Esther by the looks of it... Nice bikes

Makes you wonder what was in... or is no longer in... the MK6 Burger

Some kind of electrical earthing spike? or a toasting fork 2 prong MkIIV, beans on toast for the use of...

THE HOUSEWIFE'S DREAM My Saucepans have all been surrendered, The teapot is gone from the hob, The colander's leaving the cabbage For a very much different job. So now, when I hear on the wireless Of Hurricanes showing their mettle, I see, in a vision before me, A Dornier being chased by my kettle.

Doctor I keep thinking I'm a werewolf Are you feeling okay at the moment? Oh yes I'm fine nooooooooooooooo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0ooo00000o0o0o0o0o0o0w!

Well... playing devils advocate for a moment... It's not the flag they have a problem with, it's the pole which he only put up a few months ago (rather mumbled by the narrator)... Making a show of the ritual of taking up and putting down implying he's been doing it for years). He probably does salute the flag puts it up in the morning and night takes it down at night etc flags are fine flown attached to the house just not on freestanding poles... daft rule but there y'go. So its the not the flag per se... its the manner in which the flag is displayed... But yes, its a dum state of affairs and if... if...IF... the powers that be were going to bend the rules surely a MoH recipient would be the one to do it with...

*tumbleweed*

Sounds like Jacks truck!

In its simplest amoebic state You want to buy a REAL deactivated weapon to current government spec... no problem... splash the cash & Bobs y'tooled up auntie Can't afford a real one and will settle for a broomhandle and some wood shavings in the approximate shape of a 50cal then you have to jump through more hoops than best is show at Crufts and prove you're bona fide silly... but thats where we find ourselves a broken real gun is (apparently) less dangerous than a broomhandle glued to a shoebox go figure!!
