pig by name, pig by nature, but at the right price would make a nice project for someone

the engine and bed are correct, but the original alternator was direct coupled and had a built in exciter on the end of the casing.

belt drive and modern box section would indicate its a modern day build-possibly fairground boys?

outstanding!

Sad news,  the Whitbread Hop Farm's lovely corporate blue Abbott and 432 have been re-purposed-the good news is they are being re-born as something rather special! Does anyone remember the blue 432 going flat out right through the middle of a double decker bus?

Ah, the good old days.........

reconditioned unit, sealed wrapped, crated and unused £100

looks fairly easy to fabricate, cutting your existing top and bottom sections and using a bit of box section

anyone who's neat with a disc cutter and a mig should be able to do this.

TBH, it was going downhill when he run the show.

no matter what, Rex put on a damn good show-as the saying goes 'you don't what you've got 'till it's gone'

wheeled or tracked?

We brought the REME Museum's Cent ARV purely because the organisers are so good to deal with.

It is a great show!

John, you and those that trailered their armour there;deserve a medal navigating around those bends! 

pleasure to see you again.

My first visit yesterday, and a glorious day. Nestled in the heart of the surrey countryside, away from the rat race, was the Capel show that really had everthing going for it. Stalls, re enactors, diaramas, battles and bangs in the arena, helicopters flying in to land. MVs with quite a lot of tracked armour.

Entertainment, food court, funfair, beer tent-it really had just the right amount of everything with a  friendly atmos.

Well done everybody

terry

damn, won't be buying that one then!

does anyone know what happened to the film prop tanks used in fast and furious 6?

Hi Ron,

hope you are all well. The  tank gauge unit is a good old fashioned mechanical unit, and it fully strippable, and probably just needs a clean up. The leak is fixable. Hose and pump in the filler, drain out what you can, turn the turret 90 degrees, maybe re move a seat and remove the unit. Much more satisfying to fix what you've got than a plastic marine tank bodged in! 

regards

Kind regards

thank you clive.

just had a play with the trim pots, but alas made no difference at all, so I have 3 regulators I tried, one is 'all or nothing' the other two are completely dead.

thought about swapping the 3 boards around, but its all hard wired.

bugger!

sadly a friend has passed, and his widow has asked that I dispose of his lightweight. If interested, please drop me a line.
