  1. i joined IMPS this year at the W&P and i am joining the MVT aswell, because IMPS as much as they are a good group MVT have a MV club up by me rather than everything been "down south". the only real bug that annoying me with IMPS is when i joined as a young vehicle member i got no information on the club absolutely nothing! ZIP! it was a good job i had done my homework on the club before joining or i would have been in a complete mystery zone until i got the the website, i felt it was a case of come sign up get the cash off you and then boot you out the tent. When i went to the local MVT show they actually stood and explained what they did etc much better than IMPS but yeah as soon as i mention i was interested in post war it was like i had lost all friends lol, but i think that taking it from a younger person prespective if i had no idea about either of the clubs i would have joined MVT but i didnt well not yet anyway.

  2. lightweights are nice cant really go wrong with em once they are running right and i must admit even the standard lightweight looks nice in camo the para version are just awesome, but saying that i have a 109 S3 and i love it yes it is underpowered but it has a character all of its own.

     

    but yeah running costs and maintance on LW are cheap-ish depending on where you go, ebay very very good for rare parts, very very very bad on prices but that is the price you pay lol

     

    anyway good luck in getting one they are loads of fun

  3. when i did history at GCSE we got 1950's-1990's and it said vietnam and i thought great we are gunna do the war but nope we didnt we got the political side of it same with the troubles it would have been better if we had done the second world war

  4. £600? Are you sure? Sounds like there's something up with it! I can do Nottingham to Beltring and back on about £100 worth of fuel in my Ligthweight! :S

     

     

    yeah its no over drive and its only doing 12-13mpg plus of the kit it has in the back plus no free wheeling hubs and its petrol so its an exspense but we are currently making an A frame to drag it down rather than a trailer

  5. it is getting to be a case of who has the money wins.

     

    and me been a young MV owner and student i find it incredibly difficult to get most things but it is all a case of if you got the cash you can have anything.

     

    but yeah old softskin british vehicle especailly war time ones are getting rare and not everyone can transport such vehicles i mean i travel from yorkshire to the W&P every year this year was with my landy i know its not WW2 or a truck but if i was to drive it, it would cost £600 in fuel alone which i can only imagine how much it would cost for an old WW2 bedford or austin.

     

    and on the point of the owners getting on in years i guess its true, but i am a young member of the MV world and i want more young people to get involved even if it is just a small bit of collecting or attending shows. the thing that puts most young people off is cost and insurance.
