  1. Far right, uppermost vehicle coming down the track... surely a wc52?

    You can see the spare, winch, bumperettes, & the reflector/tie hook recess above & behind the rear wheelarch & the front wings are very 3/4 ton :dunno:

     

     

  2. Nice one Jack,

    My old man owns about 15-20 acres of wild woodland

    in the Lake District lovely and peaceful

    (but utterly overrun with psychotic f**kin' midges

    that make it completely impossible to be outside after about 3pm

    without slapping yourself into a coma or getting bitten to bits).

     

    Mind you its funny explaining to the fishermen who ask if they can

    oik trout out of the old mans river that the midges are really really bad

     

    "Oh don't you worry 'bout me. I can cope with midges no problem"

    15 mins later they're flailing about running for the car :-D

  3. Far as i can tell

     

    C47 X1

    JEEPS X 10

    JIMMYS X 4

    DODGE VC X 2

    DODGE WC52 X 1

    BULLDOZER X 1

    BOWSER TRAILER X1

    BEN HUR TRAILER X1

     

    quite a collection!

    Looks like a dispersal point for wounded

    (going by the number of jeeps with stretcher frames)

    Pacific somewhere I'da thought (judging by the VC's)

  4. When speeding up/changing down... 2/3/4 etc

    let the revs drop right off before commencing

    Michael Flatleys 'Feet of Crash Box Flames' D-Dclutch dance

     

    or

     

    When slowing/changing up... 4/3/2 etc

     

    into neutral, clutch up,

    rev the motor to the the appropriate revs

    as though you were already in the gear your going into

     

     

    EG slowing to a juntion...

     

    in top doing 30mph...

     

    Neutral

     

    clutch out &

    rev the motor to the approximate revs it would be doing

    if you were already in 3rd doing 30

     

    clutch in

    shift to 3rd

     

    clutch out

     

    If you know what i mean :dunno:

     

     

    CCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCHHHHHH >:(

     

     

  5. I'm pretty much crunch free now but the one that always caught me out was changing up from 4th to 3rd when slowing down or under load goin' up hill

    (lots of them in the Lake district!)

    ...blip the revs but its a bit of a bugger to get right... like hitting a moving target

    I can do 3rd to 2nd peice of p1ss & even 2nd down to 1st

    But when i do get it right & it goes in silently (relatively)

    & I find myself glancing down at the gearstick

    worried that the shifter linkage had dropped to bits :-D
