Hi all, count me in, let us know when :-D Ashley

Hi, i am by no means an expert on these, but i read that cj 5/6/7 were used by both the civil and the military, as mark says it is a jeep put it on the road even if you decide to change the colour when you have clearly identified its original purpose :tup: Ashley

MMM the features on the face they look like Jack ????? nice to see him at the bar or was it posed ? Ashley

I totally agree, but a nice German D-mag or a variety of the 251 Hanomag series for me (i wish) Ashley

Hi looking through `The military jeep buyers bible` it looks much like a CJ7(1976-1986) it does mention that they were converted by AMC or dealers in other countries including Australia, South africa, U.K. and some African states also available to Europe was a diesel engined version (2.4 Isuzu) 1981-1984 Ashley

Hi Jack, smart tog`s you have on there :-o, just need a trilby type hat to give you that `Al Capone` look :-D Ashley

Hi all, I must admit that the last few years i have camped i have managed to squeeze in next to nick (Nick Hobbs) which is across from Bernie, Russ, Rowan, As mentioned be for being school term time makes it awkward but hopefully will arrive on the Tuesday as usual (letting the wife attend as many bingo sessions as she like through the winter) and like last year will bring down on the trailer. Ashley

Whats the panic :dunno: :dunno: at least we still have a battleship unlike may navy`s of the world, when i saw her in Portsmouth a few years ago i was filled with pride :modpwr: Ashley

Hi Dave, in the late sixties through to the late seventies most German army members wore the gray shirt, trouser /parka uniform as a basic day to day uniform wit the American style helmet / jump boots. It may be worth a visit to your local second hand book shop to browse and get ideas. On the upper arm of shirts etc were worn the German national colours Red /Yellow Black, I believe that some time in the mid seventies the rank insignia changed from sew on to slip on insignia. Just a few thoughts from memory jogging. Ashley

Quoted from Bernie `that was a seriously impressive vehicle & deserved best in show, welcome to the site & please post some photos of that gorgeous scammell.` Hi Dave have the picture in front of me, very nice indeed :tup: welcome Ashley

Welcome Radar, to this forum, i know what a sankey and a landrover FFR are but as for the rest :dunno: :dunno: :whistle: i havn`t a clue so please excuse my ignorance. If you have pictures can you throw a few `orbs` in for Jack ( as he likes these sort of things) Again welcome Ashley

Hey thats no moth, its a real Darzet fairy that is :roll: Ashley

I must confess..... in my day it was thunder flashes under tin a hat (a borrowed one) or one day when we were bored puncture a hole in a .22 round place on window ledge with smallfuse protruding and add lighted match BANG tried this with a .303 round but a mates blackened, burnt, bleeding thumb persuaded us not too try it twice :schocked: Ashley

Have a great time one and all :banana: :banana: :beer: Hope to meet more of you in 2007. Ashley

Hi, it can be difficult these days as there are so many shows and some invariably clash. The Bovy show this year clashed with my daughters dance show and the excuse i used was `that as the show is bi-annual i`ll be there, dance show next year` may have to use plan B this year (what ever that is ???). I know some of our guy`s left the Kemble show early due to camping problems and came to Bovy + rain. If the show is dedicated to all that USA gear will this mean that other armour/vehicles will not be shown ? because love it or hate it the Tiger and the German armour is a big crowd puller especially this year with the half tracks fro the SDKFZ foundation and the Jagd. panther :bow: Could prove interesting. Ashley

well it certainly don`t look like Santa :wave: Ashley
