Also goes to show how ground pressure is on CVRT, should've used a Chally but then I guess would not make such good telly as one pass and they would all be flat!!

I was told its something around 4 pounds per square inch.

john majors rover 75 anyone?

Not a bad idea . bonfire night is coming up and this drove at the houses of parliament full of C4 would send a decent message . Or is that just me :cool2: Of course i do mean this as a joke and wouldn't dream of carrying this act out. :-D:-D

That looked like a great trip Jim, and the fact that you all went as a tactical role "semi tactical" in my eyes shows more respect for what the old soldiers had to put up with during the war. So thank you for that. I think a group of jeeps flying through a village with there klaxon whaling is disrespectful and a bit of a joke. But thats my few on the hole thing.

Y squadron doing there bit for the country :cool2:.

And someone please take her out side and thrash her with a wet halibut . Scorpion tank :shocked:

The series 1 sold for £129,000 not including auctioneers costs.

Never seen a 58 or a 44 pattern yoke with padding . Could be a repro.

And its missing a lot of things to be a 58.

Here's another link to the programme.

Whilst serving in Germany on a couple of occasions when travelling on the autobahn and pulled into the rest stations I have come accross the American Forces Jeeps where the steering wheel had a chain and padlock on it as a deterrent which to me is a cheap and easy solution.

They still use it now for there humvees. I was stationed in new york and had a walk around there motor pool and all the vehicles had a chain and padlock through the steering wheel. So that scuffled my plans to ship H1 back to blitey.

Most isaf members where always clean and pressed while working to build the government up in july 2004 hence the reason his kit looks pressed . Although i needed a hole new wardrobe after my 7 months there

GREEN LIGHT FOR £37M VIKING REGENERATION

The Royal Navy’s fleet of amphibious all-terrain vehicles – Vikings – are to be regenerated under a new £37m contract with BAE Systems, the MoD has announced today.

Used extensively by the Royal Marines, the 99 Viking vehicles, which can be launched straight from the back of a ship and propelled through water before landing for a beach assault, are in line for a major overhaul by BAE Systems.

They were deployed to Afghanistan in 2006 for their versatility across tough terrains before they were later replaced by Warthog. Viking will now be fitted with new mine blast protection bodywork and brought back to their original amphibious standard, having been adapted for the rigours of land operations.

Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Philip Dunne said:

“The £37 million mid-life upgrade to the Viking fleet of amphibious vehicles will keep these highly capable vehicles in service with the Royal Marines into the 2030s.

“With a balanced defence budget, for the first time in a generation, we are able to deliver with confidence the equipment our Armed Forces require.”

Commandant General Royal Marines, Major General Ed Davis said:

“We are delighted that the contract for the regeneration of our Viking amphibious vehicles has been announced.

“Viking is an essential asset for the Royal Marines in conducting short notice crisis response operations around the world and any modifications which enhances operational effectiveness and makes life that bit safer for our personnel is always welcomed.”

Of the 99 Viking vehicles, 19 are set to be fitted with top-mounted guns and nine more will allow the firing of an 81mm mortar from the vehicle. All will have improvements made to their braking and suspension systems. As well as new front and rear car hulls the Vikings will have the latest mine-protected v-shaped underbody which is designed to protect the occupants should it drive over an explosive device.

The regeneration programme is expected to be completed by the end of 2014 and will secure the vehicle’s service life until its expected out of service date of 2031.

This has just popped up on the land rover world facebook page . Has anyone got any info to the demise of these perfectly good looking 110's 127's and hi-caps?

Like this one ? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C235065 I didnt think they made the M38 untill after the war but I might be wrong ?

I remember this one being discussed on here a while back and it was advertised for £25.000 when first put up. :wow: .

Being a bit of a novice even i no that's a silly asking price for that.

Lots of scammers on this site..

Cheers for that . :tup::

This web site is not to bad but they don't seem to have many jeeps at the minute.
