Sorry, not even a still picture. :n00b: The date I picked her up? Well, that was the day that the fuel blockade really hit! Another important lesson I learnt, they didn't put a spring on the hand brake! Make sure it is fully off!

There was a Chinese resteraunt in Essex, had a reputation for serving fantstic duck dishes. It was sited just off the villiage duck pond. :cool2:

Mine did it the first time I ever moved her. Suppose that's why I bought her. :-D Steve River's and his entire garage staff turned out to watch! The >>>>>>

Does that classify Mc Donalds and KFC as weapons of mass destruction then? :shake: There was many years ago in one of the underground magazines, Vietnam era (Ancient history to you young whippersnappers) a full page of B52's dropping coke bottles, it was at the time of even more twee Coke advertising. I always remember the verse that went with it. I'd like to teach the world to sing in mindless harmony. I'd like to buy the world a Coke, it saves on TNT.

Yeah, the dog might catch something!

Welcome CP, you'll be inundated with questions. Most of us have bits falling off, and on the vehicles as well.

Welcome to the fun palace.

Dear dodge designer, WHY did you put the front cab canvas OVER the top of the back? Was to ensure the cleanliness of soldiers, wethere they wanted a bath or not.

Thanks Gordon, that answers the other question.

Cheers guys!

Hi and welcome!

I've written a number of articales, I now have a hard A**d editor who rips all my pices to bits, demands re-writes , throws paddies if you don't spell numbers in full. He knows who he is! the thing is Mark has also got me into a lot of good habits. Try submitting something for Pathfinder. My advice is write what you want out roughly as it comes out of the brain. Then walk away for a while. Come back and tidy up, then submit to the proffesionals. It never hurts to have someone else read it. You know what you meant , it might not be clear to others. It can also be good practice to try using a minimum number of words, good discipline stops you rambaling. Format, double space, makes life a lot easier.

Does anyone know a supplier of 6 volt truck batterys? Need one for a WC54, preferably south London west Kent area.

Before or after he started singing? :shake:

Welcome John.

I've also got a brain twitch somewhere that one if not the first Public Enquiry into an industrial accident happned at Woolwich. In the crtridge filling shed young boys were employed. The dust from the black powderwould become embedded in the wood of the benches. Despite all the precautions taken even then one of the boy's tricks was to spark off the lines of powder in the wood. On one occasion this was done but got out of hand and started to spread along the benches, evacuation wa supposed to be through to full size swinging doors at the end of the shed. The doors did not open fully and some were killed in the crush to clear the building. The enquiry showed that two gas lights had been attached to the building, one each side of the doors. This was following complaints about the lack of light when the men and boy's went to work on dark mornings. The result was instead of opening flat to the outside wall as they should have, the doors hung up on the fittings. There are sevearal accounts of Congreve rockets flyinmg out of the Arsenal into the town. The most sobering thing I've ben told was that during both World Wars the local fire brigade were under writen instructions to ignore any fires in the town due to bombing raids and concentrate all their efforts on saving the Arsenal

that's the trouble with this place, everyone an expert! :-D Royal Arsenal - The government foundry for casting cannon was formerly in Moorfields, and was removed to Woolwich soon after a great explosion in 1716, occasioned by moisture in the moulds. Andrew Schalch, a young German founder, who had been allowed to look at the moulds, gave warning of this explosion, and induced Colonel Armstrong, surveyor-general of the ordnance, and others to leave the ground; the operations proceed withstanding. the explosion took place, much damage was done, and several lives were lost. The government had resolved to remove the royal foundry to a distance from London, and Schalch, having been examined as to his qualifications, was appointed to select a suitable place. He chose the warren at Woolwich, the new works were erected under his superintendence, and he was appointed Master-Founder to the Board of Ordnance, an office which he held during sixty years. He died in 1776, at the age of 90, and was buried in the churchyard at Woolwich.

Huh!! Going pot hunting now are we? :-D First 'The Plank' , now THE WORLD!!!! Good luck with it!
