Cerberbus- The three headed hound of Hell?

May require a bond rather than insurance. Mind you the excess can be a bit excessive like £500,000 per incident!

Not probably the best idea :undecided: Of the last lot we borrowed, one ended up wrapped round a French dock, and another blew up at Greenock!

Shouldn't think it is that difficult. After all the engines are built to run on anything better than parafin.

I remeber going home with my first hangover, my Mum gave me absolute living hell for the rest of the day. Thirty odd years later she suddenly came out with, 'Do you remember when youy came home with a hangover?'. Yes, the meory is still very fresh. She then said @Inever felt more sorry for you, but I was dammed if I'd tell you'. One of our favourite pastimes was ride a pony flat out towards a rope hanging from a tree branch. Grab the rope and let the pony go. We also used to moor up the sailing dinghys up three hundred odd yards out and swim back (Take a wrong turn and the next stop was the East coast of the USA). Somebody once said to me, you had a priviliged childhood. In that I was allowed to play and think for myself, yes I suppose I did. Health and saftey was an adult explaing to you what not to do and why. If you then did it got hurt, well you had been told! Mum was woried if I didn't come in dirty, bruised, wet and tired. My biggest health and saftey lesson was learnt when I turned round on George Arnold holding a loaded air pistol. My backside was sore, it was a week before anything was mentioned to Mum, I was to embarrased, her reaction was to ask why Gerorge hadn't kicked me harder! Talk about child abuse!

Don't hang about do they? :-( Wonder how many cheap Chinese spanner sets that lot will come back as.

Not suprising really. Insurance companys don't like risk. You also said you wish to carry paying passengers. First question is how many? Try a company that will cover stretch limousines. Insurance is UK is a minefeild as it is.

Cotton canvas does need to expand when new. The best bet is soak thouroughly with a hose pipe and leave to air dry. That should close it up.

No. That is just a leather dressing. The canvas proofer is a diffrent formula. For exposed vehicle leather, most of which is known genrically known as Chrome Leather, I'd recommend is a red greasy stuff called Ko-Cho-lin. Mineral tan leather is normally a bluish grey colour, if you look at the side you should see three distinct bands, dark top and bottom with a lighter band in the middle. This stuff is stiffer than vegatable tan and waterproof. Lanolin has the property of softening leather, and most dressings will darken leather. Lanolin can cause skin reactions if you are using a lot of it. Ko-Cho-Lin is more of a protective cover over the leather, very good for laying up anything leather over long periods. http://www.horseandmore.co.uk/Lincoln-Weather-Proofa-Universal.html http://www.horseandmore.co.uk/product-detail.asp?Products_ID=5240

Considering that Channel 5 are putting on a whole season of US TV called Potty Mouth, which seems to consist of nothing but obsenity. Going ape over one word ? Dave, the word should be Monochrome! (That's technical by the way)

The style was sometimes refered to as 'Sit up and beg!.

Welcome in.

Welcome Paul. Wouldn't going after the Holy Grail be easier?

It was at the 60th as well.

I'd say a buzzer and refusal to operte is better than the Mk1 system. A high pressure spray of nasty imflammable, and toxic hydraulic oil. Not to mention if you happen to be anywhere near the load when the hose does go! :wow:

Spall has been a problem since the Tank was first developed. A projectile does not even need to penetrate, As Adrian says even paint chips proppeled by the shock waves generated can have nasty sharp edges. In the first Tanks the crew were issued with chain mail masks as some protection. So when were spall liners intoduced? The problem was known since the days of wooden warships and cannon.

That's why I've always prefferd Dogs! :-D My last dog was an ex racing Greyhound called Gabriel Mint, he to was black. The best dog I've ever known, when he finally died I just could not face getting another, he is ireplacable.

Obvious question: Why Silver?

Sorry mate. They were the WW2 British Army resperaitor. Developed from the Great War masks. They consist of a Rubber mask with tube running down to a filter canister held in a canvas bag worn on the chest.ONE VERY IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING!!!!!! These type of resperaitors have ASBESTOS in the filter. So if buying check there is no damage to the canister AND DON'T WEAR IT!! Purley for show only now. On E prey they make £50 to £60.

Got a nice Mk5 SBR in near perfect condition in bag for £5 last week. Bloke selling asked me after I'd bought it 'Is that a god price then?' :cool2:

In my 'horsy' days when I spent a fair amount of time assisting a local vet, the rule was no cat owners to come into the surgery. The battles and swearing were considered to stresful for the owners. :-D Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.' And God said, 'I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.' And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.' And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.' And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.' And God said, 'I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.' And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility. And they were greatly improved.

Yes I have the ration carier pack that goes with it! Are you thinking of selling?:-D

Still a rotten way to prove you are superb pilot.
