Good day one and all, i notice that members have trouble getting things like wheel nuts made, some years ago in my youth i required the odd item and rememberd that whilst at school we had the old metalwork lessons were all types of machines were available, so visit school seek out metlewok master, a few words and hay presto thay were more than happy to knock up the required parts and produce somthing more than a poker or toasting fork. Any school or collage i am sure would be more than happy to help with something historic and is possibly a way of interesting the younger generation in our hobby.:beer:

Sorry i thought the river was there to keep the Towie croud out of Kent.:nut:

Well have a great birthday when it comes ( a bit of extra practice time ) my wife and i would love to meet you and hubby, how about we bring a bottle or two from our resturant in Spain instead of tea? :-D will let you know the dates once we are sorted come the new year.

Hello Martin, have at various times seen these advertised on fleebay as armourers fuse cases tool bags but confess i realy do not know, there are many more on here who i am sure will be able to tell both of us if i am correct.

Hello Paul, my wife and i plus my son and his wife spend a large part of our time raising money for help for heroes, we dress in various kit, wrens, military police, 1940s commando, parras etc at shows around the country we would be very happy to receive any kit that enhances our displays i can guarante that not one item would be sold a nd that should we at some point retire from doing this all kit would be passed on under the same conditions and terms, more than happy to make a donation as we allways do .

the Star and Garter is the home of the royal british legion at the top of Richmond hill Surrey over looking ham fields and the riverThames, a very beautifull spot and a wonderfull home for ex servicemen, thay might be able to supply you with further info regarding the person your Mom was connected with you can obtain the phone number from 192.com gratis. nice little finds.:nut:

yep its finnished, time to get some drinking practice in before Christmas go for it Rosie, we will be in England next April sea fishing at and from Hayling Island for a week.

didnt wish to embarris the yanks to much, you know how touchy thay can be.:-D

Just remember one british squadie is worth two yanks.:-D

That looks like a good starter Martin, nice will look forward to your restoration remember plenty of pictures you know how everyone lovvvvvvves pictures.

heading along the seafront in the direction of the royal artillary barracks at shoeburyness pre ww2 i would say.

is it a couple of scout cars near the papillion pub ( at that time called the hole in the wall ) if wrong put it down to my old age and awfull eyesight.

HOPE THERE NOT HEADING FOR DALE FARM.:nut:

Rosie i own bars and resturants,what do you think itwould be like for me, had a nightmare last night, woke up thinking i only drank tea. Good luck to all that try.

Now that gives a few new idears for displays in the uk, nice to see something different for a change. Nine and very well done thank you.

BUT i likes my bad habits:shocked:

PERHAPS WE COULD DRESS UP AS JAPANES DISPATCH RIDERS:cool2: BEEN INFORMED BY ONE OF MY SONS THAT THAY CAME IN TWO DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZES 50cc or 80cc i never knew that.

Cannot remember the name of them but in 2004 to 2006 there were dozens of shops in Spain selling them, infact two of my own children had them and went everywere on them ( shush thay were only 14 and 15 ) lots of Brit kids had them infact i think there is still one in one of the garages at our villa, must have a look when i get time. Thay sold for no more than 135 to 150 euroes good fun and you could get an upgrade kit to increase engine capasity but never met anyone who ever did.

Spotted the ladders in the spray booth getting a coat of olive drab, what markings are you going to place on them. . lOVELY job on the truck, a pleasure to see keep it up, i surpose the ladders are for the assault troops.

never said it was used by the SS only, just that most of it was used in the east, there was some in holland and france but as stated like rocking horse poo only tryed to give you the best advice on where to obtain said cases, there was some at one point in the States take back end of 45.

THE ammo you are looking for is like rocking horse crap, it was mostly made in 1938 and used on the Russian front some went to the concentration camps, your best chance is on one of the russian block countrys used cases plenty dug up but must not be live so cases only, thay should be marked with ss runes and tv on the base plus year you will have to insert your own heads good luck.

thay rebuilt Spitfires with less than that and call it an original, think on young man.:-D

1966 ford mustang 289 fastback, identical to the one driven by Steve McQueen in the film Bullit, fitted with Gurne Weslake heads, twin Holly highrisers and manual box and brakes upgraded to Discs, makes me want to cry just thinking of its value now and as a bird puller nothing i have owned has ever come close. sigh Sold to get married, 9 months later she cleared of, the only favor she ever did me.

If its the Bentley willit be in Olive Drab and sporting a 50cal,:-D
