I get most of my bits of e bay.

Give it a de-coke, it's easy to do and has always solved the problem with my landies. No timing belt to worry about, just un-bolt and head lifts off, make sure you have it skimmed though, even if it looks alright.

My 110 is easy to drive and great for lugging stuff around, a bit underpowered though.

Well done lads, a great site.

I reckon that they would have used what ever was avaliable at the time, the only time a vehcile was standard was when it came out of the factory, my grandad used an ex italian army lorry converted to a trailer during the war for his radio equipment.

Is this the same garret that make turbo chargers?.

Transport for london carry out public consultations for everything they do, but don't take a blind bit of notice of what the public say.

When TFL wanted to extend the congestion zone west, 80% of bussiness's and 70 % of resident's said no and yet TFL went ahead and done it anyway!, how on earth that is democracy I do not know.

I own a 86 110 diesel and will have to pay the £100 per day to drive my landy into london and I live there!.

This country is a complete joke.

When i go to shows, i wear a parachute regiment corprals uniform, my mate who comes to the shows with me is an ex SGT in the para's and he is happy for me to wear it.

The victory show is one of the best MV shows I have ever attended!.

There was fly pasts by; lancaster, dakota, spitfire, messersmit 109 and a mustang.

There was a brilliant dog fight between the spitfire and the 109 and it was fantastict to watch. When the lancaster flew over it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!. There was also a display by a Yak plane and the pilot was brilliant, he did all kinds of stunts. There was also a spotter plane flying(the same one in the film battle of the bulge, with henry fonda in it).

There was also a large collection of model aeroplanes flying including the euro fighter which sounded great.

The battle reanactment was very good and even the field caught fire.

The 40's dance on saturday was great and the singers were very good.

The catering was superb, a burger van run by an italian family sold freshly cooked food that tasted FANTASTIC, a qtr ponder with cheese was only £2.50.(beltring caterers take note, it can be done).

On sunday a couple of old boys walked past our tent and we started chatting to them, one was a tank transporter driver during the war and the other was captured by the japs and worked on the burma railway. We made them tea and gave them some cake and chatted to them for a couple of hours and it was a pleasure and an honour to talk to them.

I spoke to one of the organisers who said that next year they hope to have a brick built shower block in place.

A bloody fantastic weekend and well worth the 100 mile drive from london.

The last time I looked, a MV owner was'nt running around london at 3am shooting people!.

If things carry on the same way in this country, we won't even be able to have our military vehciles!!!.

The rules at W+P state that the wearing of nazi insignia is not allowed. Perhaps if Rex enforced the rules the program may not have been made.

If you gather 50 000 people together you will get racists/drunks/drug takers/thiefs etc etc, they are a tiny minority but it is what the press will pick up on.

Now I may start something by saying the following, but it is what I belive so here goes.

The BBC and the goverment do not like the fact that the MV circuit is mainly white british and brand us all as racists. We know that it is not true, but since when do the BBC report fairly. Remember a couple of weeks ago when they filmed a program about the Queen and said she stormed out of an interview?, it was a complete lie and they had to say sorry.

It just shows you what sort of country we live in now, you cannot have an opinion about anything unless it is the same as the goverment.

I spoke to the german re enactors at the essex mvt show and they were very polite and knew thier subject very well, they told me loads about the german army that I did'nt know.

Even if there were not any nazi insignia or nazi stuff for sale at W+P, the bbc would still have made a program along the same lines. How many people know the difference between the nazi's and the german army?, very few.

My point of view.

Tents, I don't mind civvy tents, a decent 9by9 can cost about £400.

Toilets and showers. Must be plenty of clean toilets and I would like to see showers at every show, I would pay £1 to have a hot shower.

Charging. MV owners should never be charged. I will happily make a donation to a military charity.

Marshalls who are sensible, I was told to slow down by a marshall at W+P who was driving and drinking a can of stella at the same time!(and I was'nt driving fast).

Food outlets. I am fed up with food outlets at shows charging a fortune for absolute cr*p!!.

Evening entertainment, a dj playing 50/60/70's music that is NOT 1000 watts!. At W+P this year the kitcheners bar was like a high street disco, full of herberts and blasting headache music.

When you consider how people attend W+P, the crime rate is very low.

However, what I would like to see is uniformed security patrols throghout the day and night, it might act a a detterent.

But rex won't spend the money because we will all still attend the show.

Vic has started his skittles training= large brandy's and throwing hand grenades!.

I was having difficulty getting it back in!!!! :whistle:

A few things I used to do to mine;

Keep the springs sprayed up with a 50/50 mix of white spirit and engine oil(empty kithcen cleaner sprays ideal).

If the springs look siezed, get a large flat screwdriver and whack it between each spring and spray with WD40, it's a messy job but worth it, the ride will improve.

Make sure you grease everything with a grease nipple.

Check clutch/brake fluid regular, most leak.

Check oil in steering box, it's often overlooked.

All the rest is general servicing.

ALLWAYS CHECK OIL/WATER BEFORE EVERY TRIP.

A woman in camo=heaven!!!!.

Just got back and had a brilliant time!.

Lovely site and very nice people.

My mate vic even managed to crash his lightwieght down a ditch!.

Thank you to all those who helped organise the show.

Me and the boy's will be there.

Looking foward to the skittle's championship.

A nation that is unarmed and in debt, is a nation that can be controlled.

Ronseal brick cleaner is brilliant!. I used it on my 110 hood and my 9x9. My personal opinion is that you should never paint canvas, I tried it once on one of my landy hood's and the canvas went like card board!!.

The seven P's.

Next time I see him I will ask about an interview and ask him if he wants to come to chatham one sunday.

I have just been on the TFL website and my landy is subject to the charge from 2008, £100 per day even though I live inside the zone.

I phoned TFL and they siad there will be no exemption and I have to have a conversion(none avaliable) or get a new engine(not worth the cost) or by a new vehcile. I expalained that my landy does about 25 mpg and that if I sold it and bought a V8 petrol this would only do about 15 mpg and be exempt from the charge!.

Bloody stupid scheme and just a fore runner to london wide congestion charging.
