Jack

That has made me smile this morning! :-D :-D :-D Well done Joris and every week in our house my kiddies change the background on the computer...........when I flicked it on yesterday there you were :schocked: hope you had a great day, days like these are very special and thank you for finding the time to post up a picture but did you not get the email about doing some work on the site whilst you are on Honeymoon? :wink: We all look forward to seeing you back here next week. Best wishes. Jack.

OK, could some one run that passed me again, what is it :? :?

Welcome Paul. Well done on your first MV and please do not worry about asking newbie questions...this site was founded on such questions 8-) Best wishes. Jack.

But is holds something? :?

I must say that ever since I joined the MV movement that I am finding myself attracted to our post war history. It isn't something I have studied much but I can see that I will be taking an interest in as I found it a fasinating subject and I am drawn to it. This has manly come about because of HMVF as you guys discuss it all, Ferrets, Pigs, Stalwarts and I know where you come from Chris with regards to your Ferret as when I have attended shows with Hardy Ferret it never fails to amaze me of the attention the Ferret gets, people adore it and he is always answering questions from people who have used them. I am stood there with my pride and joy saying '.....please you can come and look at mine too :blush:'

Ok, process of elimination. Is a holder for either fuel or water?

Pretty much what I have observed as well and it looks like this is the current under current of the movement. I am not so sure why it is WW2 biased but I dare say the reason are very complexed, we do seem to have an infinety to that period of our countrys history which is going to be natural seeing as our fathers and grandfathers were involved and that our mothers and grandmothers played an intense role too. I am still scratching my head with post war though and Chris you are right, there are plenty about, they just don't seem to enjoy the profile of WW2 vehicles but I think the above may help explain that. I too am amazed at the lack of RL's on the scene but maybe one day when we have taught post war military history in our schools they will become popular - if you can find them. A rather freightning figure on the Stalwarts and big respect goes to Neil for being part of the '30 club'. One of the best sights in Dorset is Hardy Ferret when he is in Ferret with his peace keepers beret on - he stands out from everyone else.

That does sum up WW2 but what about post war British vehicles?

But I am also thinking that we have plenty of post war vehicles of our own - don't we?

Ok, not wanting to kick anything off here but after reading through the Windscreen this morning and seeing the pictures from all of the shows and reading some of the area reports.....etc etc. Does anyone think that the whole movement is dominanted far to much by American vehicles?

Great pics...do he 514th ever stay still :-o Thanks for taking the time to post the pics :-D

Funy enough Neil......and don't take this the wrong way but I was thinking of you myself when I was in bed this morning :-D

Plus the fact that you would get neil Stally down my drive. Well you might but the extensive reconstruction program would be expensive :cry:

Sorry to say Clive but no, they are all black and white. Out of interest, what pages does everyone turn to first?

Cor, they look pretty dam good Paul. Smack in the face isn't so bad as fulling out of the back of your Jimmy on the bonnet of a car :oops: but no one saw me, I think!

Funny enough have one inbound in digital format from Scout Car Simon. It is just the size of that spring, I can just see it turning into a Scud missile if I am not careful,

Steve does have a point there :schocked:

Ok, need to fit a new front wheel cylinder to the GMC so pulled all that this morning and pretty much full of sludge :cry: no drama, can clean all that up when I fit the new shoes.....once I have bought some :evil: But I can foresee a problem when I come to reassemble the brakes and that is that big mother of a spring at the top of the shoes........ What is the easiest way to refit the spring or am I being thick here? ( it isn't compulsory to reply to the 'thick' remark :evil:?) Best wishes. Jack.

Oddball was taking a picture of my truck (said he wanted to keep a picture of it in his wallet) but that old Land Rover thing just got in the way :cry:

Reading between the lines of the latest Windscreen I have a sense that the MVT may of had some new energy and enthusiasm injected into it so maybe now the 'council' make take a different view on it?!

Just been reading the MVT Windscreen this morning in bed as it was just posted through my door. The first time I have seen a copy for a while as my membership had lasped :oops: but it is looking pretty good, some really interesting content and nice to see some colour splashed throughout. Great work from our Clive as usual :-D

Cheers Nick, would appreciate that and please also thank him for the weak dollar at the moment......makes my job a lot easier :-D :-D

Shame about that flipping old Jeep thing though :cry:

Not a bad picture :-D http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/richmorris/jeep-jimmy.jpg[/img]

How many times do I have to tell myself that I shouldn't write whilst on the blower - I am a man. I can only do one thing at a time :blush: :blush:
