    Better get in there fast, prices are really climbing...here is my old Ferret for sale http://www.sussexsportscars.co.uk/classic_car/1428/daimler_ferret_scout_tank/ I sold on to RickW , who was also astounded at the price. Mick

    I think you will find most people here have not progressed from the "Kid" stage and long may that last!

    I would say less knee problems than driving a car with manual box. GSP generally has a light action (unless you mess the shift up), and far easier to use than a clutch.

    I love them, probably because I have never had one but want one. Surely they cannot be as complicated, temperamental or expensive as women, and we love them?

    EOD Pig?

    Ok, when you say "Prestige vehicle", do you mean the maker? Alvis? In which case, there can only be one vehicle?

    A prestige armoured vehicle? Only things I can think were painted several differnt colours in their lives were Saxons and those Landrover based vehciles the Police use there now...they look a bit like Snatches with skirts.

    Dare I say, I am really quite impressed with the Government Gateway site. Once you register (for self assessment etc) renewing a photo licence is a piece of cake. When I changed address, they had the licence back to me within 2 or 3 days....and they do make it really easy.

    Get a life guys, its Xmas day you should not be looking at the forum, let alone posting....ahem...I was just checking to make sure no-one else was! Merry Xmas anyway

    I am sure with a bit of imagination you could distill some gin in that

    use "save search" on top left when you get to the page, and click on "receive emails". I guarantee its the only useful email you will reeive each day

    Had the same issue...its kinda hidden away now. You have to click on categories at the top of the screen, so you get the full list of categories (not the pull down menu) Then click on "more" under "cars, motorcycles and vehicles Then click "other vehicles" Then you will get "military vehicles" on the left side of the screen like Lee has shown Mick

    LandyAndy, I have seats free in the 101 if you want a lift. The kids have ducked out as they have swimming and other things on. I will be leaving home at about 7am to meet up with some other 101s, if you are the Woking side of Guildford I could swing by and pick you up. Mick

    I'll be there with a group of 101's in my Australian 101 lookie likie

    Talking of guns, anyone remember Johnny Seven OMA? Check your loft! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-JOHNNY-SEVEN-OMA-SEVEN-TOY-IN-ONE-BOXED-/110964354215?pt=UK_Toys_Creative_Educational_RL&hash=item19d5fdaca7

    Costco do a temporary garage/marquee type...very substantial and only a couple of hundred quid from memory.

    I guess a landrover was what it was, a tool to do a job. Probably less so these days (or at least those that are used for the Sainsburys run). Its good at what it does, never pretended to be comfortable, and most folk with half a mechanical mind can fix the majority of things that go wrong. Maybe some of the flak comes from folk that have owned one that has had a hard life, and expect them to go on for years with no maintenance. If you took any vehicle off road, I would expect it to take a bashing and require more maintenance?

    70mph....holy cow.You'd have the slap the smile off my face!

    welcome....stonking looking car. They are verrrry nice, and there do not seem to be many around...which is also nice (for you ) Mick
  21. MiketheBike
    Main thing is no-one was hurt....amazing job on the wing. Just out of interest, how were your fluids (I I don't mean bodily) after the roll? Guessing the inside must have been a mess with the air filter?
  22. MiketheBike
    Pirtek...used them a few times...very helpful (in Guildford at least ) Mick
  23. MiketheBike
    You really cannot resist your retail therapy!! I sometimes come past on my bike, noticed you have a nice gate guardian just inside....is that to put the locals off?
  24. MiketheBike
    Thanks for that... will check out the silicon spray option. although the vaseline one may be cheaper

    I picked up a bargain CVRT shelter at W&P that had stuck zips. The zippers had some corrosion that has taken the bright off some parts of them. Using WD40 they freed up very well, but I am wondering will the WD40 rot the canvas or the plastic parts of the zips? Should I give it all a good wash now they are free? Any views on what I should use on them now to keep them from corroding again? Cheers Mick
