  1. i bought the land rover in 2005 for £750 and i have spent easily £1000 doing it up and its still not finished lol

     

    as a student its hard to get into this scene on a limited budget with the only things you can normally buy for say £500 are complete rust buckets needing thousands spending on them so it becomes a pointless exercise lol.

     

    the club wise there arent thats many if you think about it here in yorkshire we have one which is the yorkshire MVT i know of no other and i have looked for 2 years to find others saying that the IMPS which i am a member of seems to only concentrate its focus "down south" and if you look at some of the new members that they are getting are lincolnshire and yorkshire plus the imps mag's editor lives in doncaster so personally if it wasnt for the net i wouldnt know of any of the groups that are out there.

     

    i think in all the time i have been in the MV interest since i was about 8 so thats 12 years now lol i think the actual interest in restoring and preserving vehicles has grown alot but it seems to be only the WW2 vehicles (opening a can of worms i feel here) people seem to be forgetting the post war vehicles but it might just be the sites and forums i go around on that are giving me this impression.

  2. Remember this johnathon, without us mv owners, there would be no show. If you are paying to go to a show then the facilities must be perfect, after all, if you go to a camp site you would expect first class toilets and showers.

     

     

    i am not forgetting that fact but i have been to campsites and paid more than at the war and peace and got worse toilets showers etc, but i also look at it this way i would rather pay alittle to keep it going because lets face it, its the best and biggest show in the world that something i think if it takes us to pay alittle to keep that going then i am not gunna complain, i have been to shows where i have paid nothing and not got treated half as good as you do at the war and peace because some show organisers have no idea what they are dealing with, where clearly the war and peace has.

     

    but getting back to the point i was making the show wont close after this year it makes really really bad business sense

  3. water and slit create an-aerobic conditions which slows the decay and rot process to a near stand still look at roman jettys and moorings that have been found in rivers that are made of wood that have been perfect preserved, metal is the same as wood the problem is when oxygen gets to it the metal reacts and corrsion begins

     

    not bad for failing A-level archaeology lol

     

    also if you look at the end of the first vid the tracks arent moving it is been dragged because there is no moment in the tracks on the first vid

  4. well when i was there this year we were talking to some of the staff and we were told that rex has signed another 10 year contract with the new owners to continue the show and run it for another 10 years, so i dont know but the holiday homes will just make more money for the hop farm so it makes sense to build some and it also makes sense to keep the showing going.

     

    also the guy who heads up the company who have bought it is as mad about military vehicles as we are (yet again so i am told) so he wont be stopping it, i think its the rumor mill stirring again, like last years with the that been the last one which turned out to be wrong so in my eyes its just the rumor mill yet again stirring back to life, plus paying for entry to the show i dont think is bad because look at what you get, i dont mind paying it

  5. were i live in barnsley well infact down my street is an old tank factory, our road is reinforced to take the weight of them and there is the rail link out the back i remember been told by a elderly person who has lived in our village all her life that she remembers tanks going up the street and on the railway and i got her to describe them to me and it appears they were churchills and cromwells then switched back to making gaskets and seals

  6. this argument is been batted around all over the place i am a airsofter aswell as a MV owner and i have all the kit inc a relics SA80 (L85A1) and a Airsoft M249 mk2 and i just dont understand why people seem to have a problem with selling replica weapons within the community for example re-enactor to re-enactor or MV owner to MV owner but the VCR hasnt stopped anything but made more problems for legitimate owners/users.

     

    relics now has to use the specifed color on there guns but this invites people to repaint them thus breaking the law.

     

    so you choose but i think this bill is a complete waste of time same with the hand gun ban

  7. its not the "devils pentagram" and i hate the term been used, the inverted pentagram is a symbol that is used in the wiccan religon as protection, the none inverted pentagram is the symbol for good luck.

     

    i know i wear one lol
