Sorry I have-not got his number just his e-mail I have dropped him a mail and asked him to get in contact with you via HMVF.I don`t really like giving out personal e-mails with out there permission, he was going to put some of them on a certain web site might be worth looking there.

Where they on the back of a flat bed reo,in which case that was Tony if it was I did have his details some where, I will have a look tomorrow

I am thinking of fitting a 24v fuel pump to my dodge,i know it needs 3-5psi but can anybody recommend a good make and place to purchase it from.Thanks Simon

Welcome to the forum, we were over earlier in the year(we have friends in the south island), and managed to see some gun emplacements near them, but unfortunately no vehicles or shows. Managed a couple of car shows( you do like v8 and American cars).

I am coming to the show, unfortunately doesn't look like the dodge is going to be coming, so will be coming on one of the bikes(both are green lol), to get to my point does it have to be military style tents with the vehicles or can I bring my civvy tent as it`s a lot easier to carry and lighter than my pup tents.As the 9x9 was the plan but that looks like not happening. Thanks for reading my ramble and if somebody could let me know that would be great.

yes I am planning to go as not to far from me.

The tender results from the last big tender in August are now on there web site.:laugh:

Thanks for the reply, i have tried steve at Dallas but they have none in, has anybody got any other suggestions for suppliers. Thanks Simon

Hi, could anybody tell me the size of the core plugs on a 1952 m37,just got mine out of storage finally(long boring story) and the one behind the oil filler tube has gone rotten, and where i could purchase a set from i believe they are the same as the WC series.Any help would be much appreciated.As a long shot if you have a set and want to sell them please PM me. Thanks Simon:-D

Just booked in the show looks to be bigger and better this year. Simon

Depending on cost and when you are planning on going i would be interested as it`s on my wish list of places to go. Simon

Welcome to the forum it will be nice to have another Blue vehicle in the east midlands(lol). Simon

Hi,this is a bit cheeky and fairly short notice but i will be in Dunedin(south island) from the 21/02/13 to 28/02/13,is there anybody/groups that are reasonably close that would like to show me and my host(alan who lives there) there vehicle`s/collection etc,we both like anything with wheels/tracks/unusual or are there any shows on that weekend.Alan is a hgv mechanic/tester(so like fairly large things as well).Or is there anywhere local that we could visit(museum etc).Sorry for the short notice but we have had some major family hiccup`s recently that put the trip in doubt( i will be so glad to get on the plane tomorrow).My phone won`t work in NZ(as i refused to pay EE £250 as a deposit to turn on international roaming which they keep for 12 months?).Please drop me an pm/or reply to this thread via this site.I will log on in NZ. Thanks in advance Simon

I have one in the back of the dodge and wired it to the battery under the seat(it was the easy option),they are a good idea. Simon

I started off in a sheet metal shop and then trained to be a plumber/heating engineer,Realised i wasn`t getting any younger so i now work as an inspector for the local water company sorting out water and sewer connections for new buildings. Simon

Another place to ask would be the MT riders Forum as they are very patient when you ask questions( the same as on here). Simon

Hopefully this is the right thread(if not please move it).A couple of us are discussing the purchase of a Half track,but we werenot sure if you needed an "H" licence as they are tracked.None of us has one, any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Simon:-D

Welcome to the forum,more people all the time are joining from Leicestershire. Simon

They have just published the results from Octobers tender sale,best be quick(lol). Simon

Blimey next your be telling me my Mt350 isnot a proper Harley(lol). ;)Simon

Welcome to the forum what part of leicestershire are you from as i am in Glenfield,as per above it`s good advice get a dodge though i might be biased,don`t worry about asking stupid questions as i have asked loads. Simon

As per some of the earlier comments it`s a once a year event and you only get to see/meet european mv owners at war and peace, it will add about 50 miles extra(there and back) but i will still go,there are lots of great small/medium shows up in the midlands and up north which i try to get to as many as time/money allows.But they are to far for most european owners to get to(there are a few).I think everybody should give it a chance. Simon Ps my dodge seems happy bibbling down the motorway at 45mph with out to many problem`s.(it`s just boring)

HI, can you go over to europe and purchase a road legal/locally taxed mot`d vehicle and ride/drive it home,you would need to make sure you were insured etc, as i see loads of foreign registered cars/trucks etc around here(some have been here for years).Once here you could then get it registered here?.Or is the above a stupid idea. Simon

This might sound a bit odd,deos anyboby know Gordon he lives in the rugby/southam area and has atleast two humvee`s and quad`s etc.I was suppossed to get in contact with him when i returned from my holiday.I changed my phone from pay as you go to contract and the sales assistant transfered all my numbers etc for me(not very good with phone`s etc).What i didn`t know until i returned was they hadn`t all copied/migrated and i am missing a few.If you do know him or you are reading this(gordon) please can you drop me a line with your number on.I have asked everybody i can think of and they all know him but had no contact details.This was a last resort and if this deosn`t work i will have to wait to stoneleigh as he is normally there. Thanks in advance Simon:) (Blue usaf dodge m37)

welcome to the forum, what part of the midlands are you from?. Simon
