Yeah you have to sell the car for the Condor fare!

The French did amke .50. It's on the net somwhere. Wasn't the idea originally that it would be an Anti Tank round?

Channel Islands are dirt cheap compard to UK! After all if there nicked, where the hell are they going to go? Entire Island speed limit is 30 mph or 40 mph.

Ah them were the days! Peace and Love, Man!

It is now illegal to discriminate bettween sexes in car insurance. And to quote our engineering director about Telematics 'It was 6 million quid we could have spent more usefully'. Harry has his head screwed on and understands how dangerous motor vehicles can be. No doubt like all of us did he's going to scare himself a few times, but he'll develop his experience. Its when he drives Lee for the first time I'll be feeling sorry for him! I knew a guy who at 23 was refused cover on a 1600 cc car. The insurance claimed he didn't have enough experience. Fine, except for his day job. Pushing a 40 foot Scania Omnicity bus around London! My son is 24 this year, so I may be able to cover him on the Dodges.

Welcome, sound like the green maeany has got it's clutches well in to you.

ONE Vallium sandwich, and in your case 2 pints of Brandy on the way! So far, (Banging head rapiadily aginst wood) DVLA at Sidcup have been nothing but helpful.

Welcome in Gordon.

But now you have been told! Jack will Have to shoot you! :cool2:

Or as quoted to me by one insurance company wanting to double my premium 'Some years an Insurance company will have more customers than others'. To my reply 'Well if customers are leaving haven't you worked out it is due to high premiums and lousy service?' The phone went down.:-D

Welcome in.

Well done Harry! The 'black box' is a complete waste of space and in my opinion an added dnger! We have the system fitted to the buses. You can end up driving to please the box, not the road conditions. The most obvious is that it does not understand the diffrence bettween screaming around and braking hard, or a 'controlled' can't say 'Emergency' any more, stop when some goon with the ear phones in, absorbed in texting walks out in front of you.

Despite the best efforts of the Royal Mail, delivering the new brake hose to the wrong adress!!! Katy has now passed the only MOT she will ever need. Apparently any veihicle 'First used etc. being imported will still need an intial MOT to ensure it is safe. All the paperwork has now been sent off, so who makes black and white plates?

Still at least on repairs, my WC54 was rebuilt in Germany in 1952. A lot of body repairs were just sheets cut to cover damage and screwd on. Part of the heitage a few bumps.

Cheers , though I may just pop down to nose around on the excuse of going to the airfeild to order half a lamb for the freezer (My excuse I'll stick to it :-D) Good news I now have an MOT on Katy so sent of for registration docs. So I could take her down to Headcorn when the musuem is open, after all it was used as an USAAF fighter/fighter bomber base. :cool2: And there are often Mustangs visiting.... Oh you devil stop tempting me!!

Nice!! Looks in good condition, is it mostly cosmetic work required?

B*G OFF!!!! Acording to the Met Office you lot in Europe are hogging the Jet Stream , which is currently doing a U Turn around the Britsh Isles, leaving us in Artic air. If it had been winter we'd be under 10 Meters of snow, which would have at least led to some excitment on the Olympic Torch Relay. Any way, Thames' Water say I can use a hosepipe tomorrow! So if it stops raining I can get the pressure washer out! :noyay:

Seconded (Who else would I have for a good intillegent argument with?) :-D

KOYY, Isn't that Kings Own Yorkshire Yeomanry? Some TA regiments kept the Yeomanary, particullay the Shires as Yeomanary was originaly cavalary.

Mobile cannon anti ballon. Nice find.

Thanks Degsey! I can get down there end of next week, God and flooding permitting of course. Just had a look at the website, that seems to cover just about anything on wheels!

Are well, your twenty years behind the other place there, comes of being inthe EU Though some Grock expert came with GST, he should be forcible shown the Mailboat! The Ambulance has decent size visible back lights, but being 6 volt are as dim as Toc H lamp. The Weapons Carrier has nice bright 12 volt LEDS , but the rear lights are right under the body. I have a trail board hanging over the tail gate now. This is a useful place, if you're doing the indicators it is much easier to buy an LED flasher unit, there no more than a standard one. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/

Theres another daft thing DVLA say how many seats 'Including Driver' MOT says 'How many forward facing seats, excluding driver':confused:

Welcome in, you know all the sotries you heard of English summers? We've laid it on especially for you.
