This roller looks as if it is really a home made type job maybe a project for the scrap mans son for a local cricket club. The actuall body (what left of it ) appears to be cut down form a auto roller and as Kinson is an old part of Bournemouth the scrappy or son (may have ) borrowed the KINSON badge on the front from an old road sign. Naturally not implying any thing against the local residents of Kinson in any shape or form but maybe it was built for roller banger racing or ram raiding :-D:-D:cool2: Ashley

Hi do you still have a local bus station, council depot with a Mot station ??? as these do not oficially cary out repairs to the private sector they are not bound to give a failiure notice in the hope of picking up the corrective work. Just a thought. Ashley

I will say that every time i have had the jeep tested i have been met with positive and interested attitude wether the tester was young or of the older variety. Though at one station which i had used for a couple of years, with the normal tester on a day off the appointed tester walked down the pit and said "F*** me look at all these f,,,ing moving parts to inspect though he grudinly passed the vehicle after much pulling and tugging of the steering componements.....needles to say i have never used that garage since :nono: Ashley

taking these facts from the book....... IF the diameter of each crankshaft journal is less than 1.9365 inches on the crankpin journals or 2.3325 inches on the main bearing journals or if any of the journals are out- of -round more than 0.0005 inch the crankshaft must be re-worked to 0.010, 0.020, 0.030 inch undersized which ever the case may be. Crankshafts that will not clean up at 0.030 inch undersize must be replaced taken from `The complete military JEEP MANUAL`Brooklands Books aSHLEY

OOOOHHH sounds very painfull :shake:, sure it wasn`t one of the groyne`s normally found on beaches. Ashley

Hi Gary, try and make contact with a jeep / MV owner locally who will recomend a vintage vehicle friendly garage near to you. I still have the manual operated wipers ehich usually raises concernes at most MOT stations. There are many anomalies to the test i.e i never let them test the hand brake on a roling road :nono: it is not designed for it, the place i use has a floor mounted gadget they place in the jeep (cant remember what it is called) to test the efficiency of the braking system you drive a short distance and gently apply the brakes to get the required reading. Ashley

The second sign must re-late to someone we all know :cool2: :-D :rofl: Ashley

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:dear oh dear Jack :-D but you havn`t one of these Ashley

Hi all, i really dont know what to say first, but what a fantastic time, many thanks to the SPTA team for all of thier hard work and we all know that working with so many agencies on the plains can be pretty fustrating at the best of times. To Dave (Gordon Ramsey) Ives fantastic effort in the cookery dept. really appreciated. Good to meet old friends and new, thanks to my fellow team mates for putting at least one Dorset member in the wining skittle team (eat your heart out Beckett :-D ) to Phil and Chris for thier generous rides in thier champs through out the weekend for myself and the family (+dog) also to Kevin and family for the daughters stolly ride. Did n`t fare to well in the quiz :-( but at least we laughed had fun through out the week end. Once again Rambo excelled in the cake dept and now expanding out into the chicken pie market :cool2: To all who attended thanks for making it a great weekend from me and the family. P.s. has any one got any tinted lenses for H.K. Daves googles :rofl: PPS Chris nice clean vehicle in the photo....is it yours? Ashley
