Jack

Ha thanks Lee! That was a great moment for us both. And that really was a heart felt hug and as that picture shows - I was kind of holding on to him for dear life. That boy has been through a lot cr*p over the last 2-3 years and 99% of my focus over the last 2-3 years was keeping him together and to get him into 6th Form as many parents out there will know - there is nothing out there for the kiddies at the moment. So getting him into 6th Form meant a bit of a safe habour for 2 years. Jess came to me when he was 13 and I had no idea at all how to deal with a 13 year old and I would say he got into more trouble at school then Lee and Snapper put together. I think I was at his school more times than I was in Costa Coffee sorting out the mess. The lad really did smash it and stepped up. So yeah, it was a massive day for all of us at Beckett Towers and means perhaps now I can start to focus on the rest of my life. Well done Jess!

So good to have you back Snapper.

Some nice stars of A&E in there Snapper. Keep them coming. Did you get any of the Mad Max dudes? I didn't see them this year

Happy birthday Neil and hope you are being so spoilt that it's embarrassing!!

Folks, We have added some new software to the classifieds section. It is currently free to use but you can upgrade your advert for £1 if you so wish. The reason for this is because we would like to do away with donation tab we have here on HMVF. As it's the same kind and generous folks who donate every single month. Items get sold here for many thousands of pounds but nothing comes back to help pay and run the forum. So we thought this would be a nice and fair way of doing things. Have a play around with it and any questions then please ask away here.

Tim, Richard made a good point there. Is there any plans that you know of for a big meet up of WWI lorries for the centenary next year? Would travel to see that and I am sure many others would too.

Flipping heck - who on earth let Mark back in?!! - I put his Clubhouse chair on eBay :blush:

Well done Mike! - you guys are nuts :coffee:

Just give Jim a ring if you want your car crushed.

Fuel pump problem???? :mad::-X

Hang on - I am putting these words together....so basically it's saying look at my bum!

Worth going just to see Rick and the Cromwell,oh and course Andy as well. - strange name on the tank, have Googled it but no luck in finding what it means :undecided:

Just a bit off topic but why didn't we have any aircraft flying over at W&PR? :mad:

Just realised that this thread has made me sad because if the only I regret ever selling was my bike then I must have had a really boring life.:cry:

I watched that too and have to say I am in agreement Bob - in fact it has to be the worse film I have ever seen. :blush:

I do! That's what I had.......I had two choices really - 1. get rid of it or 2. die :-| I think 0-60 was 3.1 seconds :blush:

Had one of those too for a while - how flipping fast were those things!

We can have some more done as I wore my HMVF shirt at W&P and it really helped to be found by other members. Infact, I still have boxes full of T Shirts, Fleeces and Polo Shirts.

Yes, but I've no idea if they were used by the Army. They weren't [ATTACH=CONFIG]79801[/ATTACH] Bernard - don't hang around with N.O.S. to long in the Clubhouse - we can only cope with one member with that sort of humour :shocked:

OK OK - help me out here - WHAT ON EARTH are we looking at>:mad: I just see tractor cabs and tractor roll bars :computerrage:

No it isn't. Just sticking up for Mrs N.O.S. here!

Missed that too!!!! They are on my list :-D

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

Great thread. So regret selling me Kawasaki Z650. I used to have so much fun on that I suppose if I was stupid I would say that I used to put it up on the back wheel and travel the lenght of Bishops Waltham High Street, whilst doing the V sigh with my left hand, only to realise that I was being followed by a copper. But thankfully I am not that stupid to write that on a public forum :help:

Hell yeah! I always wanted a Bren but wow the price is expensive now. I actually looked on all the gun stands for a Sten - but couldn't find a single one
