  1. Could you take time to describe how you made the decals? Would be useful in the 1:1 world.:flowers:
  2. Don't forget the infantary! Can we join in with Bunzzokas?
  3. Soooo sorry my love!:kissoncheek: I'm a bit flaky this morning.
  4. Work will have obviously been done on the bolts to make them comply, and possibly two or three coils cut out of the springs. Section 5 and various other legal statutes cover parts and accessories of a firearm for the quite simple reason two or three people could carry a seperate part of a firearm, then re assemble later. Not that I would condone or recommend it, but any old coil spring would surley fill the space.
  5. The adrenaline hangover from the rest of day, probably no one will have any energy left! :-D
  6. LED have a lot to recommend them. Very bright, and very small. You can get flasher units for LED's on line so no problem with load and flash rate. I've fitted out a standard trail board with LED's for the back of the Dodge. It can be fitted and of course just unhooked if you don't want it at a show.
  7. I especially agree with the engine hoist. DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, OH SH*#!' SKIL SAW : A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS : Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW : One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS : Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK : Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER : Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR : A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE : Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. S-O-B TOOL : (This is my personal favorite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'S o B! ' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need. Hope you found this informative. Hope this clears up any questions you may have had... =
  8. To qoute any military manual 'The first thing out the window, is the PLAN'.
  9. You are not making friends Joris! Mind you Jack could ask Gortex for sponsorship.
  10. What would be nice is someone with the kit and knowledge to make new canvas for woodden folding beds.
  11. Not in their current catalouge. I belive issue was stopped due to flammability. I have to say most of my Barbour's are at least twenty years old, and haven't burst into flames, yet!:-D
  12. Aparently the young lady loathed the K2. Thought they were gashtly things to drive.
  13. Welcome in, I SAID WELCOME IN! Ever heard a quiet Land Rover?
  14. "You, you, and you .... Panic. The rest of you, come with me." A&E 2012 organising comittee
  15. Vino, vandilo, vomito? :nut:
  16. The gym has got a new machine! I just had to try it out. Trouble is after about ten minutes I was feeling sick. And I'd only got as far as the Fruit & nut on the second row!
  17. Tyne , Tees and Humber. The three rivers of the Northern region. 50 Div way is also the name of the road leading from Goldbeach to Ver Sur Mer past the 'Lav Pan' house.
  18. You do know what 50 Div sign represents do you?
  19. Nice to know about VAT. Got hit for it a few years back at the port brining a 1940 Austin K3 in. Fortunatley the port accepted the value at £150, so wasn't much. Katy (1942 Dodge WC54) will be over Spring next year.
  20. You are very welcome, come on in. Please mind the blood on the floor, track wars are currently raging in the club house.
  21. I am told, though I have seen one, that four Mercdes G Wagens were aquired by British Forces. When it came to ordering spares, Mercedes refused claiming the vehicles had been stolen because the Argentinian's hadn't paid for them.
  22. A crash entrance or exit from a vehicle must have been a sght to behold! :shocked:
  23. Blimey! Why the doom and gloom latley?
