I've heard this. But how do is count with the Dodge, Jeeps or Land Rovers towing trailers? Also what about the Quads? The limber and gun are trailers. I tow both my Tax exempt 109 to and from shows, also horse boxes and the sankey.

Hey Nigel, you should join Friends of the Island, no cost.

ian had the St Peter's hotel bunker, but it kept flooding, hence the move. I hear he's sold the Command Car to Richard Le Brocq. Did you know the St Peter's Hotel had a quad 20mm mount on the roof?

Hi Mick, nice to meet a fellow sufferer. Oh you know the fun of some idiot getting to close and trying to overtake when you leave the stop? Especially when you know where the traffic islands are :evil: Not managed it yet but had a few close.

Yes, we are going to based near Essex Farm. There is also an invitation to do Gaurd of Honour at the Menin gate. The Cloth hall has a Routemaster bus called 'Young Bill' I'm typed on them so hope to get a paly. We also have the Daimler 3 ton subsidy truck going. I consider myself very lucky to be participate. I will get a picture of the dodge going through the Menin Gate. Funny thing is Sasson's poem, I died in hell they called it Passendale'- he never served in the Salient.

Yes JJ it does, I did work for MOD, decided to do something a lot diffrent, and am now one of the most hated people on the road.. A Bus Deriver.. :shake:

Dear Rick, after driving and trying to keep C8s running, the use of the cushion is to bury the head under. After British WW2 vehicles you know why you own a Dodge. :angel:

Nice to know an insurance company will listen and sort a problem out satisfactorily. Well, they did come through. Sorry it happened Jack, but at least now it is at the 'worth a few beers story' time.

I must say, not knowing your company, I'm happy with Roadsure, trouble is they don't cover Normal. so my Volvo has to be with someone else, mention no names, yo ho ho, Polly wants a cracker. Talk about a bunch of head bangers. The forum is to short for theproblems. if it wasn't for a dent, not my fault, in the front of my car it would be a farce :argh: :banghead:

Hi Sean, hows the Emerald Isle? Disco's have so many variation of wheels and studs, I wouldn't buy unseen.

The towing weights should be in the manual surely? With ordinary cars it's kerb weight maximum, unless declared by manufacturer as towing vehicle. I know some contractors get round the rules by towing heavy kit with a 'Tractor', but that is pushing things. I like the idea of a break back trailer . I've seen one artic unit that is used for recovery of artics or buses. 3 axles that move up the trailer to lower it, I nearly drowned in drool. And it had a big bonneted Scania on the front. Dear Santa....

:schocked: An estate agent, bang goes the neighbourhood. :computerterror:

Nigel. CIOS have a Jersey site. Tourism's site is at http://www.jersey.com/

I am also a 'Friend of Jersey' Tourism, so must declare bias.There are also a number of private musuems and collections. The best being Ian Cabot's museum at St Ouen, the L'Etacq end. TWO 3 WHEEL ENIGMAS!! There are also feild works at L'Aleval, known as the 'German Road' and above it at Les Gillietttes. The north coast from Les Lande's round to St Catherine's has various sites on the coast. La Houge Bie has the prehistoric monument and a bunker. As you might gather plenty to see. The Island is 5 miles x 11, bigger when the tide goes out :-D There are also Napolionic and earlier forts, including Martello towers, St Aubin's Fort Elizebeth Castle and Mont Orguil (NOT GOREY Castle!!) Have a nose at Google earth.

Fine, no doubt on that fact. As Roadsure seem to be on the site at the moment, could someone from there give us a explanation of the situation. We all value or licences to much to cock up by mistake.

Not a bad idea. We could ask CIOS and get a guide. BMI are the best airline. I belive Richard Le Brocq has another show in mind. that would be the best idea. Travel costs to the Rock are ^^7£££ :banghead: To quote the ONLY ferry company Condor in the Jersey Evening Post latley 'The company charges what the market will stand' ie We are the only ones tough.

There are a lot of good reasonable hotels and guest houses on the Island. Camping is only allowed at registered sites. Car hire is not expensive.

OK so what are 'The required standard for towing'? The first and most obvious is that the trailer must brake at at least 50% effeciency. Even this gets complicated a single axle must brake 50% a twin axle trailer each axle must brake 25%. At least they 'aint mentioned the dreaded O licence or Tachograph. I would print out the reply, you have a NAME!! and keep it with the vehicle then if Mr Plod gets uppity say "See them". Know any freindly CPC qualified artic guys? There the best to ask. Not teaching to suck eggs but obviously the trailer must have an air or electric system at that weight.

Welcome the world wide family of Dodge owners will make you most welcome.

Kits intresting though. If you notice a mix of No 3 and 4 rifles.

Hi enigma, this year is the 90th anniversary of the Doughboys landing in France. 21 June 1917 at St Nazaire. The mystic of the Ypres salient is that it was the only part of Belgium not occupied.

Alternatley go visit the BIG Rock Jersey. There is the choice of about a dozen obvious sites, and some not obvious. also have a look at this site.

Crapud's rule :yesmaster: :naughty:

Following the Pal's March to commemartae the 90th anniversary of the First Day of the Somme, we will all be out Ieper (Ypres) at the end of the month for another commemarative march. I have the honour and pleasure to have been asked to take my Dodge WC51 out again as a support vehicle.I know most of us are mainly intrested in post 1939 kit, but to understand WW2 properly it is worth studying up on the Great War, not WW1 as at the time no one knew, and feverently belived, there would never be a second. To quote Laurence Binyon

They shall not grow old as we that remain grow old.

Age shall not weary them nor the years condem

At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.

Hey Spood, what summer? Are you sure you haven't caught rust? :dunno:

Nice to know Roadsure value their customers enough to reply. Things can go wrong in the best of situations, the real test is how do they react to fix it.

Hey Darren, I also had trouble with the fuel pump earth. There is a company called Forte on http://www.forteuk.co.uk who make all sorts of stuff including fuel sytem cleaner. Unfortunatley they only supply to trade but I have a local supplier who will sell it to me. The rad cleaner is the buissness. I haven't been able to start on my 101 yet, bloody work in the way, but I reckon I will 3 or 4 hours of deep deep joy before its sorted. I've decide the best thing for now is cut back to good wiring and go from there. It does look like the lighting circuit is the main culprit. Every time I turn on the ignition I get headlights. The only link is the flaher switch and the infra red/convoy light circuits.

I like kids, but the bones stick in your teeth. :evil:

God knows Andy :shake: I've a claim in against another driver. My insurance want it to be 50/50 I said basically 'No' so the next bit was 'Well if you don't claim aganist them, they won't claim against you, and we will give you all your no claims bonus back' not Roadsure I hasten to add. But honestly, you couldn't make it up :schocked:
