Hi Tim.

Many thanks

Jack

Thanks Tim.

Is it working for you know?

Is anyone having problems sending PM's at the moment?

I am getting a 'debug' error when I send a PM........

Welcome Sean

Please do make yourself at home and let us know a little more about your group.

I was young naive and innocent; I didn't know what I was doing.

uumm ok, but could you answer Pauls question 8)

Not sure Paul, this is what was asked of us to supply :?

Any pics? :shock:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

In 1976 I featured in a two page spread of 'Men Only' magazine.

 

Karoshi

come on Karoshi!................you can't leave it there!! :shock:

Thanks Paul, it just in my 'real' life I run and own a business with my fellow director.

We deal with many wings of the MOD, we have a line of Tatical torches and have been asked for a mount for SA80's........

Have you used Surefire before?

could/would you mount on the barrel?

Hi Paul.

Can you mount a flashlight to an SA80?

As the title says....What's your claim to fame?

What have you done that is pretty unique?...

Who have you met, who have you sat next to?

Have you been on TV, in a film, been an extra.

Have you helped someone famous get out of trouble :shock:

Have you worked for anybody famous?

Have you sold anything to anybody of interest?

Go on...here is your chance to names drop like hell!

Dam good question and one that I have quite often thought about myself. I was reading an article in one of the MV mags last month how people are pulling of tanks ( what is left of them) of the ranges and rebuilding them. When you look at our MV's, how much of them is original? I wouldn't believe for one moment that my truck is the same truck that went into service but I believe that it isn't that far off but how would I know.

Does it matter if it is a total rebuild from new/engineered pieces? To me, yes it does but the most important thing to me is that these total rebuilds are doing the job off keeping history alive for future generations......that can't be bad, can it?

Berni that is a cracking idea about the rollers as I am going to hand paint it!

on the inside of my cab, under layers of paint that is peeling off the green is a real deep 'bronze green' and it is very high gloss.......a bit like Bernis truck, what date would this be from and why such a high gloss?

Welcome Graham.

Seriously mate, that is just showing off!!

The first picture looks like a Steam fair picture. We live not far from Tarrant Hinton..........Blandford and the surrounding areas are a no go area for the week. :shock:

First of all, welcome Paul and nice to see that you have got stuck in!!

Secondly...........where on earth do you keep all of that kit :shock:

I adore driving with the screen down, just feels so right.

Hi Tim 1

I do intend to hand paint it over a period of time but what was 1944 paint? Everyone says something different :twisted:

Hi Tony.

Good to see you here and try this link, it should help you :wink:

I took the horn button to pieces and looked under the ring that holds the horn in place ( it has two screws) and it a dark green gloss.

Karoshi, what was yours......?

I do like to cause trouble :shock: so here is the question that everyone loves to hate :roll:

I am going paint the GMC and I am going to start to rub it down this week.

So........here it is;

WHAT SHADE OF GREEN DO I USE TO PAINT IT!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Let the debate begin but be quick as I want to get on with it :wink:

Cheers

Jack.

Welcome Tony.

Thank you for the intro, looks like you have been busy over the years............have you any pictures?

yeah I think you are right gents, put it this way, the road run that we went on during the weekend involved climbing up one of the steepest hills in the Purbecks, it pulled up there a treat and we went down the other side on the brakes and with the truck full of Germans........no problems. I did try and tell them that I was having problems with the brakes but I think they thought that I was joking :shock: :shock: :wink:
