ford 369

just got back from Malvern and was not really planning on buying much but needless to say got rid of several hundred pounds on more old green stuff,probably wouldnt have but I had my wife with me and she insisted I needed another gun so who am I to argue.Good to see Jack and what he said about A and E certainly sounds good

Nigel

How can you without knowing my shopping list yet Nigel?!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Daren

the way you kee[ selling things mate I wasnt sure if there was anything left to buy for,then again there will be plenty of reenacting kit for sale,

what you after mate? and I will keep my eyes open

from the replies so far it looks like this may be a quiet one,so that looks like plenty of bargains for me,my wife will be pleased

definitely be there this time so can I pay you for A and E whilst there?

Nigel

When the weather perks up a bit, I'll be having a mooch around the Dover area, if anyone fancies it?

definitely be up for that when you have a time in mind please pm me and I will sort out a trip to Dover

cheers, Nigel

its an interesting site that I tend to look at now and again as it seems to be updated fairly often but I am glad you reminded me as it is a while since last visit,is my memory playing tricks on me or was there mention of a possible forum visit to some ww2 defence sites in southern England being organised?

Nigel

always good to welcome the Dutch after the great way they treated us at Overloon

it started snowing in the Chilterns again this afternoon but only a few flakes

for that sort of price I assumed it was probably in the States,just goes to show not everyone is suffering to badly in the recession

Nigel

coincidentally there is a feature on the Budge collection in this months MMI

A mint restored R75 outfit and trailer went for 25k at auction today!. :shocked:

where abouts was the auction?

if I shout bang loud enough they will think weve got a big gun

looks like there maybe a couple in there

welcome in John good to have someone to keep a chinese eye on some around here

Is that the one where he is cahsing a serries 1 that he has to put a block behind the wheel as a brake or is that another film. There was a film with Bill Travers and Verginia McKena that had a series 1 in , not born free but in africa, more of a comady, anyone remeber that one? :cool2:

wasnt that one called Lenny the cross eyed lion?

Nigel

for a good few years up until his death in 2004 Ken could often be found by his tank selling copies of his excellent book

Nigel

thinking about it you will also need a horn or audible warning device so you can probably get away with a manual bulb horn

Nigel

I think a brakelight is a must even though one was not originally fitted but is quite simple to fit ,universal brake light switch on the rear brake rod and a small after market light of some sort mounted on a rear mud guard bolt,probably the best place to ask these questions would be the bsa wdm20 forum which despite its name covers all ww2 British bikes and you should be ok as it is run by a country man of yours.A v5 document is simply the british registration paper

hope this helps

,Nigel

ps the brakelight only needs to work on the rear brake

the vehicle must be mot ed but can have a daylight mot so no lights except a brake light are required but it will also need to be taxed and insured and have a valid v5 document

Nigel

any idea what the lump of concrete is on top ? is it capping a second entrance or was there some sort of defended position an the roof?

Nigel

I understand this was done after some incidents where US troops in Vietnam used them the wrong way round with tragic results. Anyone confirm this?

wouldnt imagine anyone is around to admit this mistake

Well you learn something new every day! I never knew the Queen cleaned her own tyres!....:cool2:

just gives them a quick buff up with a corgi

the local second hand part worn tyre seller swears by tyre paint thinned with petrol

brilliant just fully dress the soldier and chariot and it would be the ultimate unique Beltring transport
