  1. Been sworn at by Princess Anne. Seen Jane LaPortier's undies. Mine was the Dodge on the BBC parading down the Mall on VE/VJ day 2005. Part of the only non military team to fire an official 21 gun salute for HM the Queen in Jersey 2005. Once reassured a man his missing wife would turn up. She did, dead in the boot of a burnt out car. He's now doing time. :oops:

  2. Its a Landrover. :whistle: I would check the door striker plate first. They tend to move and the door shuts but with a gap.

     

     

    You mean they CAN be made to close WITHOUT a GAP :shake:

    where's the fun in that? You'd stay dry in the rain and loose the Land Rover neck from the draught.

  3. I'm glad to see you have the right div markings on her. :-D 50 Div landed on Gold Beach at Ver sur Mer. The road up from the beach is called 50 div way. We are planning a trip in 2009, following our much acclaimed 60th event, to start at Goldbeach and run up as far as we can along the divisions original route.

  4. Basically the towing weight of trailer must not exceed the vehicle, except where the manufacturer declares it is a towing vehicle, ie Landy. Depending on the date of first registration of the towing vehicle, you may loose concessions such as free tax. Towing something like the Fox you may get into CPC country. Seriously check with DVLA. The rules are very complex. Your starting point has to be a vehicle not used for commercial use, she is a 'Lesiure vehicle'

  5. Hi LE, I hope you do go back. The photos on the site may seem poor at time, but bear in mind they were taken at risk of imprisonment or death.

    About 30 Jersey civillians were taken to concentration camps, at least a dozen never returned. There crimes? Listening to the BBC on the radio and spreading the 'Lies' they heard. If Jersey people like me, known proudly as Crapaud's (Toads) are a bolshie bunch if you try to lean on us, now you know why. :-D

  6. Headcorn in kent do a 'Flying Proms 'Concert, don'yt think I'll make it this year, but I recommend antone to contact them and offer a vehicle to attend. The first year there was Spit and Hurri to Battle of Britian theme and 2 Mustangs to Glenn Miller not to mention the most outstanding display of glider acrobatice, I didn't think a glider could do what the pilot did. Last year had a mass of Tiger Moths . The dtae is Late August I think.

  7. Another Tony? Do you think our parents realised than when given the name Anthony or Antony or Tony or nickname Tony we'd either grow up to be Prime Minister or spend our lives under large lumps of dirty metal? The fortunate ones went down the metal route. Welcome to the mad house.

  8. Hey Darren the surname is Banner. I have to say the Jersey vehicle I desperatley covert and lay awake at night planning to sneack onto Condor is Ian Cabot's Dodge Command car.I didn't know there was a 101 ambulance on the Island. Whose got that?

  9. Daft thing is the 'Lightweight' is actually heavier than the standard 88, Another Military spec mouse :?

    For those that have never heard- Definition of an Elephant- Military spec mouse.

    A Camel= Horse designed by MOD.

     

  10. Yeah but no traffic jams in a Kraz, no accidents either, anything less than a battle tank you'd just squish :evil: I'd love to park one up in the city. Go on you ******* clamp or tow that!

  11. Couldn't post photo, a picture of one would be to big. You won't need a tent or caravan, just drop a tarpaulin and set up home underneath the chassis. there were several including the rocket trailer at Coulsdon a few years back. I could damn near park the Dodge under them.

  12. If a vehicle is registered before 1960 and used unladen not for commercial use, I beleive an HGV licence isn't needed.Check commercial classic sites. If a vehicle is over 2.4 meters wide, 8' 2in. in proper measures escort rules apply. Get the LGV driving manual from WH Smiths, thats the bible for the test all info will be in there. Incedentally a lot of Russian kit uses a 'metricated' Dodge T-214 engine. The Russian's got a lot of Dodges during WW2 , or The Great Patriotic War, then swiped the engine as their own. :dunno:
