Bodger , have to ask what is a Dunbar Kapple? Sounds like a foreign cigarette?

Thats the one! Its got a good article in the mag, especially them trying to tow it out of its hole with 2 Fodens! Snapped a tow chain rated at 70 tons! Will make a point of going to see that, apparently the museum scavenged some bits off it so not a lot left.

When we wre at Bov the oter week I noticed a few things shoved in the Tiger turret that looked like torsion bars marked up Wheatcroft collection. I wish I had his contacts!

Ahhh, the voice of reason...... :-D

Does anyone know the exact spot where this tank remains are, Ive just read about it in that Britain at war mag. An interesting article, the magazines pretty good too.

What else has he got?You looking for a replacement Jack, or an addition to the family?

Calling all C8 owners out there, especially ones with a digital camera! The windscreen surround and a couple of other bits came back from being sandblasted today. Now all the layers of paint and rust have been expelled from the frame I can see what I have to do. There is nothing left of the bottom, where it swings out, which I knew anyway. But the screen looks like it is either made out of 2 screens or it has been repaired at some point in its life with complete disregard to what the other side should look like. If any of you out there have some windscreen close ups you could post, or if I could trouble you to take some photos I would really appreciate it. When I get my camera tomorrow I will post some pics so you can see what I mean. Thanks Guys

We would be interested, as we normally try and get down to Dorset at least once a year. Maybe you could presuade the army to take us round the training ground at Bov in their Challengers. Failing that a cup of tea and an ice-cream at Monkey World!

At least it wasnt a beaded seat cover!

Hi Jonno, Welcome aboard, there is a bargain S3 ambulance in classifieds!

In a shed, somewhere in Scandinavia is this. Apparently its a Vidal German WW2 truck/staff car If anyone is interested in acquiring it let me know.

Condolances also. Try and remember the good times.

I think Jack meant to say "take off your boots" , bless him, its the scrumpy they have down in his parts, it makes things shrivel. Welcome aboard anyway ;-)

These pics were on ferretkit's thread but I thought I would stick them here as well, as the asking price is £3,500!

Sounds like the W&P "Spend some money" Pixie has been at work! ;-)

Referring to the "imports"! ;-)

You would need to be deicated there, or slightly loopy! But nothing is impossible!

Thats a nice truck, youve got a good one there. A film history too. The only history mine has was working on a farm orchard, post demob! At least the brake drums are easy to get off on these native vehicles! ;-)

Rivers broke its banks , local caravan site is bobbing up and down.

Cracking find, and a great vehicle. Looks in reasonable condition too, was it advertised or did you find it?

Thanks Chris, got email, much appreciated :tup:

Dont put him off!! "Carpe Diem" Seize the day! ;-)

Mini sink plunger is all you need to fix those things, oh, and a hammer! ;-)

Smart arse ;-)

So much for living on a hill, theres 4 roads into our village, 3 of them are flooded.....
