Hi Jack, its that weather beaten look :rofl: (along with a few scotches :-D ) (or does the `21` refer to Mrs Hardy Ferret ????? Ashley

HI Jack, may be u should ask for an alarm clock because you can plan your routes !just have to get up early enough to get There on time!!! :wave: :BANNED!: :yawn: Ashley

A Merry christmas to all :-) ;-) :beer: :wave: :yay: :banana: :banana: Also best wishes for 2007 Ashley,Christina and Katrina

Ask ten different people this question and you will find the camp divided usually 50-50, for myself i have had some good friends who have put unleaded fuel in their jeeps(wartime ones) and they have ended in disastrous results, requiring the unit to be replaced :cry: . For myself i have gone down the use of additive route. Ashley

O.K O.K post amended ;-) Ashley

Well, this was an idea for the wife to drive. Ashley

You could always go down the Home front / Land Army route and get a small tractor/Caterpillar (a clayton ??) if you have an allotment a set of ploughs/ hoes and your well away Or..........a Austin Champ/Landrover, morris 1000, mini 850 (Military Police) Rolls Royce staff car........ The worlds your oyster so`s to speak :schocked: Ashley

My grandfather, used to often speak of the `fancy yanks` doing rifle/bayonet drill, he reckoned real men did it properly :schocked: It wasn`t until after his death that noted that he got several bronze medals for bayonet drill, and even a silver one in the 1929 Royal tournament for the Royal navy. He later became an instructor for the famous Portsmouth gun crew (royal tournament) With that in mind i guess he knew what he was talking about :police: Ashley :wave:

Hi all, will possibly go for a day trip, no dates or details yet itinerary roughly... late night sailing from Poole 2300hrs ..... C/bourg 0600/ 0630 Hrs drive to St Mere Englise area for B/fast the return up the peninsular to C/bourg sites to visit to be decided, ferry from C/bourg 1800 Hrs to Poole 2230 Hrs. Ashley

sorry Jack , would have joined you but............. have promised to visit me Gran who was 98 this year, but still lives alone in her house, cooks a fantastic roast (won`t take no for an answer)has a fascination for local (Pompey) and global events, but always cries when when we leave as she thinks it will probably be the last time she will see us :cry: Ashley

It`s because he dribbles with jealousy every time he see a jeep :-D &^ Ashley

I can remember some of school books being marked W.D (no key for the arrow mark ) in the late sixties early seventies ...... until it changed to S.O (Stationary Office) Ashley

same `ere Ashley

welcome aboard Gary Always room for a jeep owner :tup: Ashley

Hi All, for the last 4 years have had met up with friends from another forum at the showand it is great t put faces to names and chat (and drink, and drink) with like minded souls though even at 16:30 it can still get rather noisy in the ginger gammon bar :beer: :beer: :nut: A photo shoot may well have to take part off site (carpark area ??) to find enough room Just some thoughts Ashley

Jack says........ "It was alright as Ashley wasn't there :schocked:" oh i see, am i being blamed for the last episode ???? as i was originally in the co-op with `Mrs Jack` gathering a supply of whiskey and beer for the nights entertainment when the mayhem kicked off Just proves you can not leave Jack on his own for 5 minutes!!!!! :pfrt: Ashley

Hi all, i couldn't`t believe the hike from £5:00 to £25:00 at the time , and as i trailer the jeep now theres an additional £30:00 :cry: (still cheaper than a lone drive) but here is a venue where i can meet friends and fellow minded people MV collectors, British and German militaria collectors, re-enacters (axis and allied), camp for over a week ,and though a good friend of mine only lives thirty miles away i can guarantee i will always meet him at the W&P show WHAT A BLAST! Also this year i want to try and meet more of you guy`s Ashley

Got mine (1st one) in (October ?) ,as i filled out one of the show questionairs and was mildly surprised that i received an answer (could be a tip to get an early booking form !!) hopefully will be going, if the plan comes to gether 8-) Ashley

Hi Michael, thanks for that first time i have seen one. There is actually quite a bit of info ..... it is just a matter of being able to under stand it all Ashley

Please do , and ifyou can remember i would be pleased to try and trace if possible any history of my own jeep, like wise as far as i know mine being approx january 1945 went in to service with the British army untill it was released in 1959. Ashley

Clive, as i understand it third party cover is usually provided while attached to the vehicle, though not a legal requirement insurance is advisable for theft or damage to the trailer and its contents. Ashley

Hi all, i have always understood that all towed items (trailers, jeeps) wit a kerbside weight in excess of 750KG needs to have a braking system :shake: i know that somehave modified a frames to have simple braking system (see Jessie the Jeeps article) This also only applies if you have a pre January 1997 licence (cat B+ E and C1+E) ? Also keep in mind that as a general rule vehicles are lighter by design these days (mainly family cars) unbraked trailers may only be towed by a vehicle with a kerbside weight of at least twice the actual in use weight of the trailer E.G. ..... if the towing vehicle has a kerbside weight of 1000 KG it is restricted to a towing an unbraked trailer of 500K.G. including load even if if the trailer has a MAM (maximum authorised mass....gross weight in English) of 750 K.G. You can take a test to to the level of C1+E (age dependent) to tow larger trailers etc Note those who have an older style license will also need to take the test to exceed the 8250 KG. I have tried to keep it simple :schocked: Ashley

Soultau ?

I would like to say... the argument of British re-en actors not wearing medals,and the German re-en actors wearing them, all stems from the fact that German soldiers etc. always wore their awards or combat medals/badges on the field combat uniform in "full dress order" where as the allies etc only wore ribbands. My personal opinion is a no no on any form of medal/medal ribands being worn as i believe they are personal to those who officially earned them. Ashley

Hi dog107, out of intrest how did you manage to trace the wartime number through the post war registration???? Mine was 46YJ36 according to the rebuild plate intersting to see a wartime jeep portrayed in its post war guise rather than the typical U.S. guise Ashley
