Could anyone shed some light on the plate above the drivers position on this wmik r ? I know its the revised roll cage on the vehicle but cant figure out what the plate is for . Only thing i can think of is for the for a crew member to stand on to get a higher position .But could be wrong as there exposed . Cheers for any information on this vehicle

I was just wondering if there's anyone around the north east area wanting a hand with any type of military vehicle In and around the Newcastle area . Im willing to help out and get my hands dirty. Skills our limited to painting and things of that nature . I know my way around land rovers and cvrt's . And have my own coveralls and cup :-D

Im not looking for employment are anything along the lines of that but would be a bonus "joke" :-D

I did have an offer but the distance was to great for my budget so anyone need any help please send me a private message our reply on this thread cheers Andy..

Happy birthday Rosie all the best for tomorrow

That's awesome

He should have went to Norway to do his Arctic warfare training with the royal marines and played in the snow with the bv's . Stick a ski on the front and he would be up to the standard im sure

Don't quote me on this but it looks very similar to a 105 light gun breach . Its been 21 years since i used the light gun so not 100% . But hope someone comes up with the answer ..

Dear Andy,

 

For a 12 hour day to only produce 53 seconds of video is a bit below par, even for you.:nono::whistle::iloveyou:

 

I think you must have footage of it loading up onto the trailer.

 

I know you are teasing me . . . . tell me there is more footage!:clap::kissoncheek::hug:

 

Robin

Hope you don't mind me jumping it with the link Andy ..

Here you go Robin

That one belongs to Denny Thompson from Rothbury, he does more miles in it in a year than some people do in there cars!

Was that the big bloke i seen with fore arms like popeye .. Im 6ft 3 and standing next to it made me look small . It was in very good condition for its age . So doff my cap to Mr Thompson ..

He does drill better than some members of my old regiment .. Nice clip Rambo1969 ..

Well done the Canadians for making that lads day even year..

I think this is some kind of government scam to get Greece's economy back on track by selling fake military vehicles :shocked:

The household cavalry has our had one of these in the hangers at Windsor barracks . But not sure what they where doing with it ?

So the story i was told in 84 at the age of 14 about the commanders body being concreted in the engine bay was a lie :shocked:

Nom nom nom nom Love it .

Is the rover going to be made a communications wagon at shows ?
