Hi Bill, as far as i know that is not DBG, but what is known as NATO green? Ashley

Graham, its your bike to do with as you please ! as you say "its a bit of a mongrel" well at least its on the road and being enjoyed :-o Paint it in what markings you want to, if any one queries it you have the answer for them. Ashley

welcome Simon, there was one of these trucks locally here in Dorset recently (standing out side in a large garden) but i see now it has moved on, Shame the other truck (chev) has stood for at least 3 years in the same spot. Ashley

Congratulations Neil see you at W&P Ashley

One thing is certain - provided I can get her MOT'd tomorrow and thus allow the wife to bring her to the show next Friday - you won't be able to mistake her for any other landie there - the grease marks on the paint are quite un-mistakeable!! :-D :-D :-D Well at least she (the landie)should be waterproof...time for some wading !!!! on he off road course :-D Ashley

Me, i`ll be there Tuesday PM hope to see you all there. Ashley

Rambo1969, for many years i spent frequentig a coin and medal shop, and was fortunate to see many rare items in the badge and medal world as well as meet lots of interesting (and very humble) military characters and this is wher i saw an origonal LRDG badge, now long gone. Like the famed SS helmets i see 99.9% are fakes Ashley

Nice one Neil, glad things are coming together at last :tup: :tup: Ashley

Hi, the term`peep` was as far as i know given to early (production ??) jeeps one of these vehicles was the `radio` style speedo/ oil,temp gauges. there was one locally buried under a tarpaulin for years and i belive it was sold and restored.......... but apparently the last two owners who have owned and restored the vehicle have met with serious accidents in the vehicle :schocked: but can`t verify this. Ashley

Hi John, jeep looks nice :tup: :tup: mmmmmm the wife keeps nagging about a more modern convertible than the ford GPW..... aSHLEY

Hi Rambo, anorigonal LRDG badge is much sort after in the collecting world, most 99% seen are fakesso make sure it doesn`t walk one day :shake:but i bet that 99.9 % of the badge collecting world have not seen an original and may not recognise it as such. But be warned for with out care one day it will disappear :schocked: Ashley

Hi, some where or another there is a picture of Germans using U.S. vehicles in the African campaign, to include jeeps trucks and half track vehicles i will have to try and find it. Ashley

He looks kinda cute don't he :kissoncheek: Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder (apparently) Ashley

HF, do not be fooled by their wording....do not worry about the local daughters but as a precaution lock up the local sheep and goats :-D. Ashley

Hi Jack, very sorry to hear about your troubles :cry: but no matter if your a professional hauler/ truck driver or a sunday trailer user to take rubbish to the local tip, once it is connected to your vehicle the trailer/load is solely the towing vehicles driver responsability, not his mate`s or passenger or mother who said it looks o.k. but the driver`s and in the company the next in line is his immediate supervisor/ manager these are the guy`s to contact...be calm.......present your case...lay the blame at their door 9using the advice supplied here). This should be enough be for engaging solicitor etc. (IMHO) Ashley

Yep should be there :-D possibly the family as well. Ashley

Hi John, been there my self with the heart when least expected hope your on the mend and are soon at full fitness (as can be expected) :tup: Ashley
