  1. I didn't think that I would ever have a problem as I usually clear my cookies and temp folders outs at least once a week but I hadn't had a clear out for more than a month. So I will be going back to how I used to do it and clear everything out at the end of the week and start afresh. I have changed my password with yahoo so with a bit of luck that will be it.

  2. nice job your doing there mate. need to get my arse into gear and get myself a carrier. waiting for couple of replies ive posted. would love this one but out of my budget!

     

    Most carriers will be out of most peoples budget at £30,000 plus so don't dismiss it. You could buy one in Canada but the shipping charges would be at least £3500 in container charges plus incidentals

  3. Im not too up on them, seen a few advertised on the yank websites but not side by side.

     

    Whats the comparison priceways?

     

    Im open to anything interesting carrier related so a T16 would fit the bill

     

    Send Rick a pm and ask Kevin as well he might know of one that is available

  4. Hi

    Thought i would bring this thread back up.

     

    Any news on the restos?

     

    I wouldnt mind a carrier myself, anyone know any available in the UK??

     

    Any info greatly appreciated

     

     

    Does it have to be a Universal/Bren carrier? Would a T16 do? If so ask Rick eddy8men

  5. They always had the rule about leaving early on Sunday, and everyone always left early. Unfortunately when people have a long drive home, at slow speed in an old vehicle, they are going to leave early.. it takes us more than 4 hours to get home, and people come from further afield than we do.

     

    Similarly they have always had the rule about vehicle movement, it never stopped the people driving around, or the kids on quad bikes!

     

    It takes us six hours to get home and last year we decided to stay till the Monday before hoofing it.

     

    I can't see how they could stop someone who wants to go home and doesn't fancy arriving home in the early morning. It maybe that this years show will stop all the things that used to go on, fresh venue new broom and all that.

     

    Its pie in the sky or gossip till we get to the show and see how it is.

     

    Enjoy it its going to be different thats the fun part of it, lets face it we all knew where everything was at the hop farm so the change should be good.

  6. The IB2 and IB3 were supposedly interchangeable on the Ferret mounting plate, for me it is clarity in the IB2 that I prefer. The IB3 will work just fine and do the job in the vehicle. The IB2 has more functions (rebroadcasting) compared to the basic IB3 box which in the civilian world will not be needed.

  7. Getting back to the original start of the thread I was going to post the same story up its just how you would want a serviceman who gave his life for this little country to be remembered. Its a shame that no living relatives could be found

  8. My great uncle was gassed on The Somme, and struggled on until 1928, before his lungs finally rotted away.

    Struggling a bit to see how a supermarket could be built on consecrated ground, I always thought it was forbidden to erect a building in such a place??????

     

     

    As Antar says its ££££. Consecrated ground doesn't always stay consecrated, at the gateway to Manchester by the Mancunian way you will find St Georges Church (near Dot Motorcycles). The church itself had been empty for many years and the druggies had been using the graveyard for you know what, in the 1990's the church yard was de-consecrated and the human remains were dug up and placed elsewhere the church building was then turned into flats.

    I also seem to remember a program on TV which was about a company that undertook graveyard clearance not my idea of a job but it takes all sorts

  9. Cheers Bob... Sorry about the music Bob.... but the Wurzals.. "I've got a brand new Combine Harvester" didn't seem to fit the bill !!

     

    It could have been come by yah now that would have been a good sound track not!

     

    I'm sure Bobs a Slayer fan and would have appreciated that on the sound track :D

     

    Sorry Bob

  10. Not the best picture but it shows the generator cable going through where the petrol pipe joins the union above the gearbox mounts. This was during the strip down so this would have been how 02CA35 ended its service life. It should also have a a p type clip under the inlet manifold to hold the cable up so that it doesn't catch on the prop shafts. No pic of that though I'm afraid
