Well its a three seater Mark, and I assumed you'd be coming along anyway.

So: shall I pack a lunch box then ?

YES .........and better, I'm "passed out" on 'em. So no probs if we come back on the M6, M1, M25 route, and happen to get a "bit of a problem".

Blackburn aint that far. WE could drive it back, save all that messing with transporters.

Jack, remember I'M YOUR FRIEND.

I guess in line with that most famous of quotes: " It aint what you got,..... its the way that you use it" Act responsibly with a historic piece in a controlled environment, and it wont attract attention. Blow things up in your back garden, and it might. Regrettably not all the human race is responsible, thats why we have speed restrictions, traffic lights and dog controls, etc. Some people simply do need enforced guidence. Over......

Jack as its the 25th do and its going to be a big one, why dont you set up a HMVF pitch ? And before you ask, sorry but NO,...... I cant !

If you go for PMR's they have internal batteries, and the better models have the ability to accept a 12v power lead. A 24v to 12v dropper is not a problem. Try Maplins. But dont skimp on quality for V to V comms. You'll regret it. Range , noise, interferance the list goes on.

Sorry Mark, misread you there, I thought you were looking for Vehicle to Vehicle coms. Go with Clansman is its only intercom you want.

Mark there's a number of options on this, you pays your money and takes your choice. The PMR 446 option with either PTT or a Vox headset is probably the best non licenced route. Try contacting the likes of Nevada in Portsmouth. : http://www.Nevada.co.uk/ . There are many manufacturers of PMR 446 sets, go for a branded name like Alinco or similar. They cost a little more but in a difficult environment like moving vehicles they are worth the extra. Vox head sets can be plugged straight into the better models, and of course keeps your hands free. The downside to this is that you cant hold a "private" conversation in the cab without broadcasting to all !

You're not health and safety/state the bleedin obvious officers are you? I hadnt appreciated that you were untill I read this; 4 Off topic / Other Chatter / Re: Warning Order on: 14 December 2006, 14:49:52 I'm afraid I'll have to stop this for health and safety reason's, If Dasher, dancer, prancer, vixen donner and blizen are going on, and comet and cupid are going up, there could be a serious accident! Your friendly neighbourhood health and safety officer Mr B'stard

Happy New Year to one and all

about the same as a Mk9.. Hey guys these ain't toys, even 5's ain't toys. Lets keep it responsible.

Clive, perhaps you and I should get a caravan together........ I think you've scored Clive.

Yes Don the windshield frame hinge fitting is on the INSIDE of the frame. Its fixing nut can been seen from the OUTSIDE of the vehicle. I drilled mine from the outside inward with a little help from another person to visually check that the drill is at 90 to the frame This ensured that the "hinge pins" ended up parallel to the frame, and the holes werent drilled on the pi** I'll try for a photo later, but I'm not with the jeep just at the moment.

Worthing hinges used to be a "L" shaped bar, with a threaded bit on the short bottom leg of the "L" . The door frame itself had two "tubes" that slid onto these pins. 2 holes, top & bottom of about 6mm, were drilled through the windscreen frame upright and the "L" hinge bolted in place. This left a verticle post for the door mounted bit to slide onto. Its possible that this method has now been replaced, John and Mary (Worthing) are both very helpful and will be willing to answer your queries direct, if you ask them. As for the stud fix, well blind rivets are the secure way to do it as self tappers tend to pull out after a time. However blind rivets, (pop rivets) seem to offend the purists, even though THEY WERE proper to the period.

Great I'm glad you had a good day. Its always well attended and has a good atmosphere. Only wish I could have made it to.

Jack cos its your birthday in a couple of hours, and I KNOW you can keep a secret, heres my special little money making tip,...just for you. This Nazi Gold stuff, its a piece of Pi**. Pop over to Switzerland, find the biggest bank you can, knock firmly but not harassingly on the front door, enter and say,....Hi I'm Jack. I'm a friend of ISS-Hauptsturmfuehrer Bruno Melmer,.... please can he have his Gold back. Don't forget to take a BIG TRUCK with you as it runs to several tons. Now you MUST promise NOT TO SAY to ANYONE else. Happy Birthday Karoshi

Sure,...you and about 60,000,000 others

Any logical thoughts on why a nation would do that? Well its not the outcome they were looking for. It all sort of went a bit wrong. TWICE. America was envious of our Empire...and wanted one of its own. Some argue that they are still in pursuit of that goal.

....and did anyone go ?

So getting all excited then?

A Similar accusation was made by or about,....John Kerry, a couple of years ago.

No Clive I have one for sale if you're interested !

Clive, I know for a Humber 1 Ton, a driver if your interested.
