  1. The gun is classed as a gun, so you should comply with firearms legislation and cover the trigger when transporting. I've towed them with and without limber with a 109 LR Safari. No problems except idiots trying to undertake at roundabouts and the tow cutting in. but thats their problem.
  2. *//*$$££ Expensive and everyone has one. Get a Dodge instead. Much cheaper and a far more practical vehicle.
  3. First of all check you have the plug wires in the right order and they are firing. Buy a spark plug tester for this , a couple of quid well spent, it fits on the top and has an extra gap so you see the spark. Then check all the contacts from battery through ignition switch to coil are clean and tight!! Use a meter to check you have the full voltage at each point. Then check wire from coil to earth and connections are clean. Dirty wires and poor connections are something to be aware of on Dodges. The system is simple but does require a bit of basic maintence because it is so open.

    Drive Past

    Was getting busy on Friday night. then had to go just as the fun started as working over weekend. :evil: Still back monday, and a lot of military vehicles about. :-D
  5. I have worked with German re-enactors, of both wars and all nationalities. As I come from Jersey, which unlike England was Occupied by the German's from 1940 till May 9th 1945, most of my teachers and the adults who influenced my childhood lived there during the Occupation, always spelt with capital letter. I didn't learn about Nazi atrocities from history books , I learnt from the people who experienced it . My playground was the bunkers. It is still a very sore point on the Island, and in some parts of Europe. However that said, It is only by presenting all sides of a conflict that the truth gets a chance. A lot of Jersey people had a respect for the Wermacht troops as individuals. It was the Organisation Todt that was held in the greatest contempt. To be exact the Gestapo was never present in the Islands, it was the Secret Field police, mind you if you ended up in their hands for say riding 2 abreast on a bicycle, then the difference was academic. British Civilians did end up in the concentration camps, 12 did not return. The important part for anyone wearing uniform at a show is tolerance . Sooner or later someone will get upset or ask an awkward question, think before you reply.
  6. In Europe it is an offence to sell militaria marked with the swastika, hence the dealears head to Beltring. There is also a large black market in northern France and Belgium for memorabilia. This is often taken from sites where bodies are found in fields. As the metal regalia is probably the only bits to survive any chance of identification of the man will come from these. By grave robbing , they and those that will buy 'no questions asked' deny a man his name. You have killed him twice! There were some WW1 helmets being sold recently, the boast 'Still got flesh in them'.
  7. :schocked: what as wheel chocks?
  8. Finally found a use for the SA80? Or is it NBC type feild latrine. The gravel as a soackaway.
  9. A story from Burma. One soldier balanced on the pole after a diet of Biscuits Brown. Another soldier sits next to him and there is a Plop Plop Plop. The second soldier groans. First one says 'Wish I could do that' Second replies 'No you don't' First 'Yes I do I've been trying for an hour' Second 'No you don't. That was my knife fork and spoon'
  10. Recovery for this. hen breacks down putcushion on top, held by wing, and scoot home.

  12. Be honest Jack, I've been trying to figure out if it is actually real! Trouble is even my US friends can't decide.
  13. Yes but the green machines do get the ocasional 'Wish I had one' remarks that thing all you'd get is the offer of a padded room.
  14. Ah Kewelde, those were the days, from what I hear since its been sold to Asama Ben Laden's brother in law its no fun up there anymore. :dunno:

  17. Which one? I used to work at the Kent one. A briefcase was left in the car park. Total panic, phone Ashford (If you don't know you don't need to) About an hour later a phone call from the Ashford mob 'We're in Halstead, where are you exactaly?'. 'Right' the ever helpful me' what route did use?' 'We came up the M20 and through the tunnel' ................................ :dunno:
