Well you know how it is- cough & splutter a bit, but after a bit of turning over I manage to get going :lol:

You should try a pintle hook

If I had a M26 DRAGON WAGON I'd take it to Tesco's. Whats wrong with Tesco's. I do it with the Deuce. Your Tesco's has obviously got a better layed out car park than ours then :lol:

So you yourself wont be legal to pull a trailer either then!!! :lol: Tim(1) My pulling days are long gone

Yea thanks Jack, your'e not supposed to agree with me.............

Yes, but I'm mot exempt. Although I probably shouldn't be the amount of screws I've got loose :!: :lol:

Thanks for that Berni It's not something that I have to worry about at the moment as I just have the jeep, I'm just interested to know the nuts & bolts of the matter. I like to dream that one day it may be something I have to think about. WC52 here I come..............

It seems to me that most MVs bigger than a jeep are exempt from an mot. Does anyone know the reasoning behind this or is it something that is accepted as fact but no one knows why :?: because everyone that I've asked hasn't got a clue. :?

I would be intersted to know what the greatest influence was for becoming interested in MVs & all things military :?: Was it films & TV :?: From the few shows that I have been to you would imagine so as the Americans & Germans seem to be in the majority.

It all depends what you choose to do with your mv doesn't it :?: If you choose to spend the majority of your time with other like minded people re-creating a particular part of history down to the last nut & bolt then you must be a re-enactor. On the other hand if you prefer just to use your mv as part of your daily life & go for drives in it etc (admitedly you probably wouldn't want to take your dragon wagon to Tesco's) then you must fall into the owner bracket, or should that be user :?:

Nice place Lymington, there's a nice fish restaurant on the quay that I can recommend. Haven't found the sweetie shop though.

Is that re-enacting though :?: I wear that sort of clothing A. because I always have & B. because it is hard wearing & comfortable. These days it's just being fashionable anyway, the last time my wife dragged me into Debenhams I saw that they were selling very good copies of M43 jackets :!: When I take the jeep for a bounce along the ridgeway, or wherever, I don't feel that I am re-enacting anything, just going for a fun drive in the country. I would consider re-enacting to be running around in a field at a show pretending to shoot each other. Sorry, I will get down off my ration box now :!:

Oh, and took part in the Lord Mayor's parade once.

The Queen, Prince Phillip, Lord Hunt of Everest, Freddie Starr, Roy Kinnear, Daley Thompson & Seb Coe are all that I can think of at the moment. 8)

Cheers Karoshi, I'll probably go out for a spin in that direction when I've finished doing my tappets.

What's happening in Aldbourne then :?: I'll take a ride over.

Yes, I did the other day. All the best Tim

I've heard that she's a right little shocker!!!!!! :shock: Tim (2)

Easily remembered by this mnemonic - (V)era (I)s ®andy, (W)here (I)s (V)era. V = volts I=amps R=resistance This comes to you courtesy of Ohm's law which states that if you stick your fingers in a plug socket, it's gonna hurt All the best Tim[/img]

Take a piece, glovebox lid etc with some original paint left on it to your local automotive paint supplier & get them to match it. Worked for me. All the best Tim

Came across this hood number generator the other day if anyone is interested. http://www.smedith.co.uk/CMA/hoodNumEst.htm All the best, Tim

That's brilliant! many thanks for your help Demon. All the best, Tim

...............and he doesn't take Paypal

That's no good, he's selling to USA only..........

Hi Demon Thanks for the pic. No, it was definitely a plate relating to the tandem hitch. I will try & remember where I read it & get back to you. All the best, Tim
