  1. Can be done quite directly as well. You may well find a number of Channel Island vehicles coming up from Pompey to keep you company.
  2. Welcome in :-D Sean a good customer then?
  3. Glass hammers! Pilkington did make some.
  4. It would have to be fixed to some solid mount.
  5. There are tailess mice! I have one for Rosie though. Why on days when it is blowing half a hurricane, do women insist on wearing split front skirts? :???
  6. There is a BIG difference bettween conservation and restoration. Conservation is to stop something deteriarting from the condition in which is found. Restoration implies bringing the object up to the state when first manufactured. Maintaning the balance on something like a vehicle, that needs parts replacing from time to time to keep it running is a fine art. What really hacks me of is to see things such as a museum with a WW2 Jeep and a modern nylon camo net stuck on the back! Especially when the Museum's 'expert' starts telling you it is corectly fitted out. (This conversation came to an abrubt end when the 'expert' was told to look out the window. See the 1944 Dodge WC51!)
  7. Even the end of the world has ben delayed! :yawn: Daft thing is, the profile of most people here, independent, used to adapting, capable of solving problems. Being detrmined in the face of adversity, makes for top end of the suvivor catogrey.
  8. There have ben so many 'Survivor' series over the years. The vehicles I remember being used are everything form a Ford Cortina estate, a Merc van ( that is supposed oto have stood for a hundred years, then fires up first time!) to Citreon 2CV. I think I'd go for the Dodge and plenty of firepower.
  9. A Zero gauge wouldnt be vehicle mounted. From the looks of it it would bolt onto something like a Bren SF mount. The weapon would then be bore sighted to the target and fired, then the sights adjusted till they registered on the point of impact.
  10. Nice to se eher in her own enviroment.
  11. I'd go for one of the coaches the French Gendarmes use. They even have there own entry in Janes Armoured vehicles.
  12. Please mate! Two actually, one for me one for Tom, both large.:tup::
  13. Tony B

    Big ray

    Unfortunatley still a quite common cause of acidents. Look at me folks! I'll be over the house in half an hour.
  14. Why think foot? There are hand control assemblys available that leave the foot controls usable for ordinary drivers. Try the Disabilty Living Foundation. Or Motobility web site. There are manufacturers such as He Man who make dual control/disbled kits. Here you go: http://www.he-mandualcontrols.co.uk/index.html a freind had a driving school.
  15. Commercial vehicle, regardless of what you use it for. I was trying to get a small van insured, the companies advice, forget it buy an estate car.
  16. Been doing some research on Red Cross parcels, more later. So yopu are now in pocession of Canadian food parcels The Canadian Red Cross reported assembling and shipping nearly 16,500,000 food parcels during the Second World War, at a cost of $47,529,000.[13] Contents of the Canadian parcel included: Sixteen ounces of milk powder Sixteen ounces of butter Four ounces of cheese Twelve ounces of corned beef Ten ounces of pork luncheon meat Eight ounces of salmon Four ounces of sardines or kippers Eight ounces of dried apples Eight ounces of dried prunes or raisins Eight ounces of sugar Sixteen ounces of jam or honey Sixteen ounces of pilot biscuits Eight ounces of chocolate One ounce of salt and pepper (mustard, onion powder and other condiments were also sometimes enclosed) Four ounces of tea or coffee Two ounces of soap.[13] Probably the sardine tin did it! :-D
  17. Try your local saddler and ask for canvas New Zealand rug proofer, that will do it and not attack any leather fittings.
  18. First type of plane I ever flew on, and was allowed into the cockpit! Them were the days!
  19. Where? They also very useful for things like the Dodge with no doors! I curently use a modern Belgium one.
