Old para barrack's aldershot?.

Land rover 127 V8 rapier missile carrier. Honey tank. Fox. Saladin. Water bowser(filled with stella!) Dodge command car. MUTT. Wartime morris truck(not fussy which one). Land rover wolf. MK bedford. My barn would also have a large workshop area, fully air conditioned and a spray booth.

Me and the rest of the squaddies were having a chat about last year's events and the plain tour came top!. Really looking foward to this year's one.

Not scared are we? :whistle:

Ive just noticed on milweb that the MVt are holding an event at camp ramsbury near sailsbury plain on the same weekend, maybe we could have a drive out and meet up with them?.

Right, process of elimination. Try new leads, plugs and dizzy cap. With any thing like this it is a case of replace the cheapest item first. It could be a valve, but that means head off, so cheapest item first.

Muppet! :-) :whistle:

No lay in's for 16 years! :whistle: congrat's.

Remember this johnathon, without us mv owners, there would be no show. If you are paying to go to a show then the facilities must be perfect, after all, if you go to a camp site you would expect first class toilets and showers.

My mum say's she wished she could have had the grandchildren without having the children! :-)

I was told that they are building holiday homes where the stall holders are and that the stalls would be moved to where the re-enactors normally are. Last year they started using a field at the back off the hop farm for the first time, maybe in preperation for this year?. To be honest it's all speculation, the only one who can confirm/deny this is rex, and would he tell the truth?. To be honest, I would not be bothered if w+p closed, as long as another week long show took it's place. I think it's a p*ss take charging MV owners to attend w+p anyway. If a show want's to charge MV owners and operate as a money making show then the facilities must be perfect, and at w+p there not. On the w+p website they are saying that they know about the problems with the toilets and have a different supplier this year, they say the same thing every year.

De acts/replica's etc are not the problem. It's the criminal justice system that's the problem, there is no detterent. If the law stated that driving over 30mph meant 25 yrs in prison I would have a speed limiter fitted to my car and never break the speed limit, simple. What happened to the 5yrs minnimum sentance for having a gun?, I live and work in london and cannot remember the last time someone got 5 yrs for carrying a gun. Whilst I agree that the judicial system must be independant of goverment, when the courts are not doing thier job properly, the goverment MUST step in. I don't blame the police, thier hands are tied, I blame the courts, and goverment. Just as a foot note, we all know who's shooting who, but political correctness won't allow the police to do anything about it.

Lonley hearts section :whistle:

Foyle's war was better.

Great photos!.

My dad had a D seris lorry come back from belfast with bullet holes in the side, the driver refusued to put money into the "fund" at the factory he delivered to. He was pooping himself that he would'nt be allowed to get on the ferry home if the army/police saw them.

Was in the army cadets and interested in army stuff. Wanted to join the army straight from school but mum would'nt let me, so off to colledge I went. About 15 yrs ago I went to a classic car show with my dad, who had a vauxhall cresta at the time, but it was a MV show and not a classic car show, looked at a few landys and decieded to get one. Went to another MV show and found the people really friendly and been on the circuit ever since. My hobby before mv's was fishing.

I have had an idea I wanted to run past everybody. How about a skittles compitition on the sat night along the lines of a knockout type game. I am prepeard to supply an engraved cup for the winner which can be used every year and passed onto the winner every year. I am also prepeard to donate a prize for the winner. What do you think?.

Me and the boy's will be there. The weather could'nt be any worse than last year!.

In my landys I have used 20/50 for the engines and ep90 for gearbox. For the amount of miles we do as MV owners, it would take years to wear out bearings/gears/rings etc. Another thing, I have always put unleaded in my landys, even without unleaded heads with no problems at all.

Best bit=sailsbury plain tour, great to meet everybody. Worst bit=Ken livingstone telling me I have to pay £100 per day from 2010 to drive my landy :dunno: :-(

Showers please! :-)

You can't please everybody. I think this site is brilliant, I joined because I have a passion for military vehciles, I do believe however that people are entitled to thier opinions on this site as long as it is to do with the MV circuit. When I go to shows, there are about 6-10 in my group, we don't always agree with each other, but that's life. I don't mind posting under my real name, but can't see the point.

I got load's, but my favourite is a wind up LED torch from my mum. Wind it up for 1 minute and you get 30 minutes worth of light, it's brilliant!.

IT really winds me up reading stuff like this, it's seems that the goverment want to stop law abiding people from doing anything!. We, as a group are ordinary people who enjoy a hobby and cause no problems to anyone(that I know off) and yet we are constantly attacked by the goverment, it makes me so MAD!. Is it any wonder record numbers of british people are leaving the country.
