  1. Its being run by Jeep parts isn't it now so that side is catered for? Not sure if its original parts that you're after that might take some wandering about for.. all part of the fun of going! Have fun
  2. For how long four exits it says on the description!!!!
  3. I think thats caused natural selection isn't it, he won't stand near the rope again will he
  4. What about trying someone who repairs motorbikes ? 2 axle trailer = Motorbike ? = Master Cylinder ? Just throwing that thought in The only other option would be to have it re-sleeved by someone like past/parts
  5. Brilliant I'll pass on the email address and phone number to you
  6. Does anyone know who owns this Ferret registration QVS 612? I have had an email of a gent by the name of Mike (email below) asking if I could identify the Ferret in the picture below. I can't and as I think its a Q reg it might have changed its identity by now or been re-registered or exported. Happy to pass on the details if need be off this forum Quite a number of years ago I was at the airplane museum near Gatwick when the owner hoped to start up his Shackleton. He had a problem with his trolleyac and the day was saved by the above vehicle. One does not often see a Shackleton started with jump leads from a Ferret and I have a pretty good record of this event captured by camcorder. I am currently re-organising my various cine films and videos and came across this the other day. If you know who the owner of this vehicle is now, I would happily make him a copy on DVD. It is, after all, a bit of the Ferret's history. If you can help, many thanks. The attached picture is "snatched" from the tape so very poor quality! [ATTACH=CONFIG]72017[/ATTACH]
  7. Have you tried firing an email off to www.austinchamp.com
  8. Numb nuts!!! On a similar vein I've seen some right idiots racing about on the icy roads
  9. I was wondering why I had a hankering for sugar lumps
  10. What will you do without the Mammoth Gun to blast it with? An Elephant gun won't be big enough
  11. Its Christmas all over again the shops will be happy all for a couple of days snow that hasn't yet arrived yet in the North West of England. Cue the snow arriving tomorrow
  12. Er not likely I've bought more bits outside the show than inside But hey this could be the year where everyone piles in with the parts
  13. Hi John Thanks for offer but I'm fine I have more stuff than I need as it is. Its just nice to meet up with everyone
  14. Anyone going or is to early? Its gone tits up for me I booked the meal for my better halfs fortieth birthday dinner with the family for the same day!!! I didn't check the dates I did think about going but I didn't fancy my chances of being able to get back into the house without a locksmith Plus when I mentioned about going the look I got could have curdled milk :wow:
  15. Would'nt like to be him/her making the phone call to the boss
  16. Snow started coming down last night its not sticking thankfully
  17. You have offered biscuits? Try something flash like chocolate digestives if that doesn't work go basic malt biscuits! If on the other hand they want hob knobs or fig biscuits walk away the cost is too high
  18. A moan :mad: For the past week or so it has been forecast that we will be having snow in the UK, it was due to arrive on Friday (11/01/13) then on Saturday and then on Sunday now its due to arrive on Monday. Can they stick to a day or admit that they can not forecast the weather... Is it to much to ask? If you had to rely on these charlatans you would never go out.
  19. A simple answer to that is yes on changing address they insist that you change you're licence to the 'new' photocard version. Me and the missus didn't get any choice ten years ago we had to change.

  21. The FN9 turret was designed to be fitted to the Wellington, Manchester and Halifax. I've seen pictures of the turrets fitted to Wellingtons and Manchesters but as has been memtioned they were removed as being almost useless. Flypast had an article on an FN9 turret being restored from a crash site it looked absolutely brilliant when it was finished. According to the Flypast article the FN9 turret was redesigned to hold a Leigh Light on Wellingtons http://www.uboat.net/allies/technical/leigh_light.htm
  22. I'm not going to disagree with you but as a way of enabling more friends to join the forum and gain more membership to the 'friends' it might be useful in the long run too the T M. Just think back to the Se-x Pi,stols in the 1970's and the queens Jubilee and the BBC banning the song what did everyone want to buy? A closed group could be very attractive and it could be done at renewal. I don't think its a bad thing for user profiles to be a full name. Suggestions are free
  23. You could have a group within a group for the Friends of the Tank Museum to use, it would seem that this is possible as it is on each individual members profile page as (Groups and Permission Groups) as listed down the side. In that way the members could voice an opinion in private as it wouldn't be able to be seen by the great unwashed as it were. Its not a bad thing to do but you would have to be a member of the friends to join. In that regard you would need someone from the Tank Museum to approve membership to a private group
