...Halo Peridol, 5mg...

Spot on Gareth :tup:

Superb Laro and great pictures, will be book marking your site for future references if thats OK.

Did your vehicle come with the arial mounts fixed or did you have to source some? One more question, did the Dutch ever use SWB landys? I have one sat in the barn and at loose ends with what to do with it.

 

;-)

The Landmacht mainly used the Airportable in the general service role. They differed from British LWTs in a number of ways: gazole injun, vinyl tilt, wing-top indicators etc. etc. The Dutch also used the 109 SIII in small numbers, as general service, ground survey and command/recce (Heidi was one of these). They also had 109 ambulances.

They're using G-Wagens these days.

Glad to see the ferret section of EAFVG has infiltrated here as well !!8-)

 

Ferret section? I think Clive qualifies for just about EVERY section, considering the number of toys he's got ;-)

Is this the start of an EAFVG takeover? How long before Georgie makes an appearance then?

Hello Clive :wave:

Another EAFVG member joins the forum!

Guess I'll see you next Thursday

Gareth

Dutch camo nets from that era have small steel rings at intervals along the edges. The rings are about 20mm dia (like a keyring) and are spaced at roughly 300mm. These measurements are from memory and I could be horribly wrong, of course.

Aerial mounts: Have a look at http://heidilandrover.webeden.co.uk

There is a photo of the Phillips mount in the "Heidi Photos" section.

The correct colour for the Laro (as the Dutch called 'em) is RAL6014, which any paint supplier can mix for you.

Hope that helps ;¬)

and i think if that there is any opportunity to offend "Johny Foreigner" we should take the opportunity with open arms.

:rofl:

I shot past at 70mph

In the Chevy? :-o

£600.00 :-o Thats more than two hundred more than it cost me to go down in my Ferret

 

Perhaps he's got a leaky fuel tank :?

Little pup dog has been dropped off at the vets to have her tail shortened. She has managed to mangle the end of it.

Aww! Hope she's OK otherwise. Wasn't chasing tanks was she?

I would have thought the easiest way would be to have a socket made up to which you can plug in a standard trailer board for the rear and similar one for the front. Just run a cable in through the nearest hatch for road use and easy to remove and stow once off the road.

 

When the T55 goes out he normally has a Shorland as an escort front and another car at the rear, to manage junctions and act as lights.

 

Oh, such fun we have with our toys, eh? ;-)

Poptop: are you going to Evilstock this weekend?

Oven? Yes you are getting warm!

:roll: :roll: :roll: ouch!

on his WLA, Ihad to keep waiting for him!

Harley riders, eh? Nothing changes ;-)

Now then, if thay had a Biber going I'd be interested :tongue:

What a pity they have stopped Bob a job week.

Ha ha!

Kevin: please show us some pictures :-)

... expensive butter? :nut:

that would be Golden ear-ring, Radar love.

Aah - a Dutch tune! Perhaps Heidi would like that one 8-)

Neil, have you tried calling in on your local farmers? Quite a few people I know have done this and the reply is often something along the lines of "well, if you want to clear out this shed you can have it for a few quid each month." Farmers are usually open to new ideas if it involves making money ;-)

Yep, we'll be there :-)

OK mate. Perhaps you could put a few details in the upcoming events section for the rest of 'em :-)

Don't let the cat out of the bag! Tell him he IS going crazy :evil:

Can't think of a Saxon track for Heidi, but when I'm on the Guzzi it's "Motorcycle Man" of course ;-)

Gerald my main man!

Good to hear from you again. Have you really only got ONE Land Rover now? :-o

Will we be seeing you at Colchester Garrison in 2008?

BTW: is there a Lineside show this year, or have we missed it?

Gareth

A few more.

The camera was playing silly buggers so I didn't manage to get a photo of the Dassault Flamant. Didn't they havs a glazed-nose version there a couple of years back?

More pictures and a show report on http://www.heidilandrover.tk ;-)

Without a doubt, Ursel is THE show of the year. The atmosphere is superb, a great mix of MVs and owners all having a whale of a time. Loads of stalls (without Beltring prices) and Tripel Karmeliet too ;¬)

We've already booked our spot for next year's W&W

A favourite one where I used to work was DGAF (usually just after getting a ticking-off).

Answers on a postcard please...
