That is very nice, good to have you aboard.

I agree. The Z number checks out.The reg number, if I am right is the post war number allocated to vehicles. The disposal numbers are always a mystery to me, if only there was a list, you might find out the area it was disposed in, the TWN may suggest its are, like Twickenham for example. From what I remember there were 3 contratcs for the C8's all 1944 dated, but will have to dig out that info tomorrow, I think it was originally in Wheels and Tracks. Has it got a rebuild number on the chassis plate? You should find that ties in with the number on the record card, deciphering a bit of the mystery. And for what its worth, it cant have been in any worse condition than mine when I started!

With photobucket, I need to do a bit of organising with my photobucket album and was creating new albums and was going to move pictures from where they were into there new place. I had a warning come up saying that direct links to the photos will be lost. Does that mean that if I move them about in the album to different folders the photos that Ive posted up on this forum will be unavailable for viewing? Secondly...On the old forum there was a button for marking posts as being read, there doesnt seem to be one on this anaemic new place, or am I just being stupid...

Video footage from the discovery of HMAS Sydney from when it was first discovered using ROV's. Very eery and well worth a look. http://www.findingsydney.com/video.asp

That is just crying out for a "then and now" photo.

Anyone any recommendations for a quote for Southend to North Bucks, for a light vehicle?

Welcome aboard. If you can find any Archaeology or Pre-WW1 posts while doing your parking space in the club-house car park, please let us know!

I would want Social Services....

If you want to know about bio-fuel, then Im your man. Ive researched it, considered selling it, thought about running it, looked at commercial kit and home-grown kits. A lot of it depends on how old your vehicle is and what fuel system you run. Its more critical with modern vehicles than older ones. I wouldnt run a Landrover TD5 on Biofuel because of the hi-pressure fuel system and the fuel filters are extremely fine and expensive to replace. A Peugeot 106, 10 years old say, runs fine on it, with a regular filter change. Will post links up to some informative sites tomorrow.

No worries, Im sure it will take a few weeks to get back to normal, but hopefully will be worth it in the long run. Sympathies and support to yerself and the mods. Psst...dont forget the Archaeology pages...

Good to see you have youre priorities right mate!

I had a conversation with the missus about how I didnt realise how much rubbish there was on TV on at night. Pencilled her in for another conversation later on this year....!

Has that gone too... Where are the avatars?

Thanks be! Now can someone tell me how you can just see all unread posts rather than trawling through the whole lot?

Ive never heard of gas detection paint? :? I suppose it does what it says on the tin though :whistle:

Quite large. vehicle spares, deacts, lots of clothing, militaria, re-enactors etc etc

I should be going with some pocket money. Not sure what Im going to buy yet, maybe a spare carb for the C8 and some stuff I dont need, but may need at a later date.

Now thats an interesting camo scheme, Ive not seen an MW in that before. Be good to do one like that, all the MWs restored Ive seen, just have plain OD.
