Deserted W&P forum, dry dusty tumble weed rolling by.
John Comber replied to gritineye's topic in War & Peace show.
There might not be the activity we would like Bernard , but the old threads on here are great for research and reference which is hugely forgotten.. W&P is on for us this year , I now have the pressure of the next keen generation wanting to take their clutter as well as mine! See you there Mate. -
Sam , there are some wise words from radiomike7 which I have learnt from as well , the old Rolls C6 rumbles a T along just fine , most forget the diffs are 11-1 ratio , which don't really want to spin any faster at 33 mph ! . If more power is for towing a load then remember the weakness is the interactive prop shaft and the half shaft end casing, steady on those hill gearchanges chap. Need to see some progress photos on your restoration thread please TTFN John.

The Cold War Museum
John Comber replied to paulob1's topic in Battlefields, museums, monuments and memorials.
Paul , in reading all the recent comments on your revised planned museum name , bear in mind your museum is here in Britain , where I believe the conception over the term Nuclear Holocaust may well differ from how viewed in America. My opinion , you need a moment of reflection as of course the choice is yours.
