I have been and had a look at them and to say they look tired is an understament:undecided:

One went through the auction this week for £4800 hence the guide price on the tender sale:undecided:

A couple of other forums talk about a smell of death about them.

I would like one as I think it would make a good fundraiser. But would have to be cheap seeing the work needed on them

That nice clean engine bay it already looking used! Keep the piccy's coming great job being done there.

Nice site Link for Robin http://m136.de/falcon-force-2000-galerie

See them around here quite often as they are based at Minley manor/Gib Nice looking beast Make a Foden drops look small:D

spray inside with waxoil or the Canadian/American version of it that will stop/slow it down more importantly stop it liiking unsightly.

Ones goes to the Dunsfold weekend and I believe that one comes up from the sussex area. I'm sure Phil could confirm.

Must admit I would love a 6X6 perentie with a workshop body or ambulance

May have a couple of pictures somewhere:nut: If I remember right they were the Iveco or steyr version of the drops and all in bronze green with the everything coming on a drops rack or Iso containers even down to kitchens etc.

I hope it swims better than this one!!

Hope the handbrakes OK on that one:-D

Wonderful pictures, the V8 Centaur is a gem, anyone know when its going to get restored?

 

R

There was talk of leaving it as is! It came back from the Gulf a few years ago(Iraq I think) loads of bullet holes in it:shocked: But I'm sure it could be restored.

Tell that Munga he will be sleeping with the fishes if we can get it in the lake:D

Are you suggesting that CET is related to Warrior ?

 

Detroit's may scream but twice the power for the swept volume !

no not saying they are related just that both sound great:cool2:

Think the posts are for cam nets and convoy position flags.

Sort of know how Andy feels here. I have a 1943 Ford Jeep that i took to a few shows and no one even stopped to look at it. I thought i must do something different to it. So did this after having a rummage around in the company archive.

It seemed to cause a bit of a stir at the time:blush: But funny all the less. Lost count of the times people have said that we never used them. Agree with the Hotchkiss's etc are the "follow me" replica's critisised? The first year at Beltring it won best runner up jeep(was told nice to see something different) I portray it as a replica! but do admit to tell the odd anorak that it was donated by Monty himself to the AA after a patrol man helped him out in Normandy:-D Funny how many people think its true but cough to it 99% of the time

Oh and buy the way I too have raised a few quid for H4H the Disco in the pictures (also a replica)was used on the recent H4H rally(www.h4hrally.co.uk) in a support roll (with AA guys manning it) and bought and paid for by the teams manning it and was sold after the event, with all the money going to H4H.

:whistle:

Tony

What have you boys got against CET... can't you cope with a mans AFV ?

Not an AFV though is it! Nothing against CET's I think I would prefer one to the rapier they sound great just raw power where as the 43's sound pained, detroits just scream etc any Warrior would be nice though again sound of power.

Tony, you are absolutely certifiable wanting that as a toy! Does your M series truck tow it on a flat bed trailer?

 

What did the Mrs say about that purchase? Am surprised you didnt go for a Combat Engineer Tractor instead.

 

Robin

Mrs wasn't too chuffed but as I told her "the big boys made me do it"

No longer have the M series:-( miss the old girl though. A guy in club has a cet and thats just silly:nut:

Still what doesn't hurt you makes you stronger eh?

Nice looking truck I saw the remanants up at withams and thought Someone will rebuild it but thought it will cost a few quid. Good old Phil though done you proud.

Tony

Hi Tony and welcome I didnt know you were an ex cloud puncher ex Rapier myself :cool2: Best of luck with the build.

David N

Cheers David, not an ex cloud puncher just a silly choice of vehicle:shocked: the old girl is a bit of fun would be nice to get the missiles pod to spin:cool2:. Trouble is finding an APU. Good fun to drive but what great vision they have:nut: just plain awful.

Well if you need any picture let me know and I can take some of my new toy for you. Anyone got an APU for one of these? I want to get the missile system to move!

Tony

Nice to see the cup of tea on the wing you'll have a few of them working on your new toy:D Nice to see the Locals collecting history as well. Keep up the good work

stands corrected:blush: Looks like one though:nut:

The blackk thing looks like a bead breaker for quess what breaking the beads on tyres:D

Nice truck quite fancy one of those myself:-)
