driving my transit across a school running track did enough,didnt go down to well when they came to do the 100 metres

what's this about a range wreck at la courtine, can anyone shed some light on the french range targets, i know there's some nice stuff still on those areas.

 

eddy

the French range targets were discussed a while back and I think the general feeling was that the stuff is there but the French authorities were impossible to deal with,but its still got to be worth a try

I've been in the tunnel under the Church in Guernsey(indeed the church is named "sur l'eglise" but that has nothing to do with the tunnel) on several occasions in the 1960s and 1970s -it was always wet and the only field item that I saw was a small field kitchen -the type drawn by a mule -because of the amount of water bits and pieces such as personel harneses were well decayed certainly not worth recovery.

I seem to remember that the feild kitchen was one of the items recovered and is now on display in the museum

that fords a beauty,a hot rodders dream

our series 3 were round , are they not off bigger landys?

my 2a has rectangular which is standard,although round were I think fitted to some and I have to say I prefer the look of the round even if you cant see anything behind you

try a classic land rover dealer,they are fitted to series landys

its only recently started and my norton pop up blocker stops everything else,just wondered in case it is due to amazon advertising on the forum

is it just me or does anybody else keep getting an amazon pop up every time they log on to the forum?

I think the stuff Tony is talking about is called "petro-patch" and the in tank stuff is known as "slosh tank sealant" I used it in a bsa tank several years ago and it was fine ,

Nigel

only problem is my local halfords is more like a bike shop,tried to get a peugeot oil filter the other day and they said we dont sell them

I thought that may be the case ,especially as I know your fondness for the polar bears

looks like quite a good turnout for a show so early in the year

should have said nice

those British repros are really noce mate,are they copied from pictures of wartime helmets or just unit badges painted on?

nut behind the wheel?

as Tony says rumours of hoards of equipment hidden in tunnels in the channel islands are long out of date ,the tunnels did contain plenty but it was mostly cleared years ago mainly for scrap although some was sold as souvenirs there was some stuff left in Guernsey until more recent times but I beleive most of this was cleared by Richard Heaume of the occupation museum several years ago there are however some rumours that a tank may be left in a tunnel under a church and it is beleived that some feid pieces may still be in tunnels but hidden behind rockfalls caused by army demolition charges

news just in from France "the wine market was thrown into turmoil today when they envisaged massively falling profits as the demand for chardonay on Hayling Island ceased overnight"

the thing I still find refreshing about the mv hobby is that people are willing to help each other out,this dissappeared from the classic car scene some time ago although it does still survive in the world of bikes

however the vehicle is restored it will be good to see another peice of rare armour out and about rather than sat in a shed going no where ,obviously the owner should rebuild the vehicle to his own taste rather than have to worry about what others say or think ,looking forward to seeing more

nigel

just goes to show what a farce some awards are,the holocaust happened ,if global warming is real there is little or nothing anyone can do about it

"bloody hell" thats some story I think an evening researching this lady will be time well spent and might be a good story for Jack to include in Pathfinder,thanks for bringing this to our attention

Nigel

I really enjoyed the sherman video when I saw it the other day and look forward to more ,welcome to the forum

Nigel

lucky it was in Oz because if it had been Europe it might have breeched his human rights

thought it must be otherwise there world surplus

youve just got to love the bison concrete pillbox on a lorry chasiss,only a Brit could come up with such a fantastic thing
