Looking fwd to it already... Will the wall of death be coming back? It was a truly amazing spectacle... If I remember rightly Mr Penton had threatened to build a rubber tracked, outboard powered mini tank which he reckoned could get up on the vertical - but it was quite late on in the beer tent that this plan was hatched!

As far as i am aware it won't be with us this year but i'm sure this will be confirmed in due course. Shame as it was great to see it and be a few inches from the bikes.

Hi Guys,

Good to see this thread started.

I have just bought a 1985 M1009. I hope to have it home soon. It is currently waiting the arrival of a speedo drive gear and passed the MOT with some work on the steering. It has also had some welding to the floor/pillar (yes, it has rust in the usual places) and the tailgate.

I am loooking forward to getting in and finding exactly what I have let myself in for - this is my first MV after years of wandering the show fields and getting the hang of which dash lights should stay on and which should go out!

I am amazed there has not been more of a response to this thread - I counted more than 20 CUCVs registered in the last War & Peace programme (though some were from the continent) and a dozen of them were M1009s.

Look forward to picking up some tips.

Steve

PS I got my Blazer through putting a wanted ad on this forum.

Hi Steve

Does your new trucks reg end HAM? I think its the one a mate of mine was going to look at but you got in first. Where abouts are you based, is it Devon way? I've had countless conversations with 2 particular guys at various shows saying they were after one & have been for a while. I have a feeling we have already met, so would be good to know who snapped this one up. It looked a good truck and not a bad price.

I have been advised that the live entertainment will now be on Sunday night but there will still be music in the beer tent along with plenty of beer, etc. The band will start at 9pm on Sunday night, do not miss it!

Hey All

There must be more than the two of us out there!

Good news, what's the part called on the site?

Hey Iain

Good to find another owner out there, they seem pretty thin on the ground.

Have you tried http://www.us-army-military-shop.de/ for the part your looking for, exactly which bit is it? I find they have the majority of things but can be a bit hit & miss on the price. Failing that i use Rockauto in the states, shipping can be hit & miss aswell but i just bought a new set of glow plugs & a front output shaft seal for transfer case for £60 inc postage. They also have a good part finder section making it easier to find stuff.

DO you travel to any military events? If so which ones?

Cheers

Jamie

Hey jcb

we've crossed paths on steel soldiers a few times. Good to see a nice looking 09 close to home.

Hey all

I have had a couple of cucv, the last one being an m1008 and my current an 1984 M1009. I'm trying to get a list of people in the UK who own one also so we can have some points of reference should anyone need any help with there's or ideas for places to get parts, etc. Just list your name, what you have and where you are if that's cool with everyone.

Cheers

Jamie

Lots of positive interest so far from the re-enactment groups. Still plenty of time to get booked in & let the show know your requirements. Don't forget to contact phil at hippo1944@hotmail.com to book in or for details.

Cheers

This is a great show & promises to be bigger & better this year. Any re-enactors out there who want plenty of space in either open land or inside the woodland area get in touch asap to ensure you get a good spot.

Any ideas you may have for your display or any requests please let phil know at hippo1944@hotmail.com.

Cheers
