    I did - I was thinking of next year's meet. Sounds a trip worth trying.

    This in Dorset - no bids. I am surprised:nut: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180697751316&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Only 4 hours to go

    Wow that sounds a fantastic weekend. Great pictures - good pub and sounds like a magic breakfast. Doubt my motor would be up to the speed for that road run but who knows...

    Welcome to you. Interesting history there.
  5. Giles
    Meant to say that I am down south on Somerset/wiltshire border now. So a LandRover to the Highlands costs ££ but always worth it when I get there. P.S. Voted:angel:

    Welcome to you. I know Thurso. Before being married I was lucky enough to live near Tongue and also Kildonan and my Father's last abode was near Bonar Bridge. I still come up camping every now and then.

    That is brilliant. Would it have been geared down to cope with the tracks I wonder/
  8. Giles
    Got to be heading that way, Mike

    Welcome I used to enjoy the Freedom Parade through Tewkesbury when I was at CVD Ashchurch. Do you still get any explosions from the flour mill? Or has it closed down now.

    Welcome to you, James. I am sure you find the answers here somewhere:-)

    Very sorry to hear this news. How can reservists - i.e. very limited amount of training and experience - ever do the same job. Cannon fodder. Whitehall does not care for any form of heritage or what is stands for - unless it benefits Whitehall residents.

    Only joined recently here too. Good bunch and extreamly helpful. Hope it all goes well

    Provisionally I have got a trailer arranged and will have to bring him with him family and payment:D. Any more ideas about the auction? Got a list of stuff already here:laugh:

    And on my Tombraider Defender TD5. Just remember to clean/replace the centrifuge as recommended. My Peugeot 205 diesel has done 235,000 miles. I bought it new in '88. Changed oil every 5000 miles or every school holidays. Also friction reducer added every 25000 after the first service. Uses about 1 litre between oil changes.

    What a top-ho bloke he must be. I used to live very loacally to that show as well for 10 years and also never got there. Always ended up working that week-end. Now I live in Somerset and could not take a vehicle there if I tried. But there again - I never had an ex-military vehicle to take but always had Land-Rovers and old tractors so totally no excuse at all. Better luck next year:D

    I am looking for a wider trailer to go behind the landrover to carry my Eager Beaver and if so then I will be going up the 303. Winconton bruton area here.

    I do like the idea of going to the school prom with it - will be most impressive and always useful to have a deadline to work to. I was trying to persuade my son and his g/f to go to this year's prom in a 2 seater sofa screwed onto a pallet on the forks of my Eager Beaver. She did not want to play:cry: I will need to persuade my daughter to go to her's next year on that particular method of transport then:cool2:

    As a matter of interest I was still at C.V.D. Ashchuch during the hot year so may well have had the pleasure of driving your EB. And 'No' that dent, scrape and scratch was not me - never did it:red:
  19. Giles
    yes I have seen your thread there - very informative with lots of piccies added over time as well.
  20. Giles
    Thank you for the info, guys I have 4 cylinders and a brake hose being made up and should be here during the week.
  21. Giles
    So that is only allowing a weeks grace - phew not much time there looks as though it maybe a tractor or Q plate
  22. Giles
    Wow your kit is very tidy indeed. Excellant pictures. Thank you
  23. Giles
    Welcome to you - may all your rust be little bits:undecided:
  24. Giles
    Even I would be prepared to carry explosives at that max speed of 5mph unless it is Nitro on the roads rounds here>

    DVLA have been known to make this error as well. There are several vehicles running around with the same registration number as another vehicle. No-one will ever have the same as my Tombraider though - that number was made up by a criminal in Glasgow but because I had had it for so long Swansea have let me keep it:D
