Jim Clark

Hi Shane,thanks and yes I am the owner of the Sherman at Weymouth, actually its "Sloppy But Safe" not easy lady, which is pretty much the same thing I suppose.

Hi Degsy, hey we have only just saved up enough to pay for one computer and learn about this interweb thing, but Martin may follow soon. Hello Berni, let Russ go with the flow MVs are better than money in the bank.

Hi Snapper, thanks for your reply it would be nice to see if you have me on video or in pics. Here are some of the rallies I entered, Devil Tour, Yatesbury Stages ,Cheltenham Stages, Wye-Dean stages, Down Ampney stages, Ebworth Chase,Bleadon stages and so on and on. I started in a Mini Cooper S then, don't laugh built a very rapid 1300cc Metro which we surprised a lot of people with it performance. At the time it was putting out about 135 bhp and had a works Arden 8 port cyl head which cost an arm and a leg but transformed the car.

Jack, I did own a GMC 352 hardcab with winch I bought it 6 months after the jeep in November 1996 but had to sell it to finance the Sherman, still regret selling it. I will try to post pics when I work out how its done. No I am not the famous racing driver Jim Clark, sadly he died in the late sixty's.

My name is Jim Clark I would just like to say hello to you all, although I am new to this site I have been in the military scene since 1996.Some of you will already know me as the owner of "ALLIED FORCES" canvas and restoration business, which was started in 1998, I probably know some of you although not by your screen names (thanks "karoshi" for your welcome last week, sorry I dont know who you are) In the 15 or so years prior to 1996 I was into motor sport, competing successfully in special stage rallies around the country. I then wanted a change so I bought my first MV, a 1944 Ford GPW Jeep it was very original and complete but rough.This was the start of the down hill path as I now have the Jeep, 1942 White M3 Halftrack, 1942 Diamond T 968 4ton cargo, 194? Fruehauf 8ton engineers trailer, 1943 Caterpillar D4 2T dozer, 1942 M4A4 Sherman, various jeep trailers and benhur trailers and last but not least an Onan generator. As you can see once the MV drug gets hold of you it spirals out of control, but hey "dose this look like the face of concern. Well theres my intro ,thanks for a great site and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards and HAPPY NEW YEAR. Jim.

The event is called Tanks in Town, it takes place August bank holiday weekend and is based around the Belgium town of Mons. If you type Tanksintown (all one word) in Google theres racks of sites to check out. I took my M4 A4 Sherman over( its second trip) for the weekend, its awesome driveing about 25 miles around Mons in convoy with other tanks, halftracks, m8s etc. Fantastic time cant wait for next year Jim.
