Hi Jack, you have enoug room there for "his and hers "jimmys Ashley

AAAHHHHH well if it`s now twelve volt then it`s not reeeaaally origonal :lol: being serious i like your idea but following odball comments may be we should all re-read the highway code mainly the section that deals with (PERMITTED) hand signals. Ashley

Hi all, for any person to ignore safety is an idiot, and it is fuel for beaurocrats to try and further curtail the tradition of peoples hobbies/intrests. I feel that changes have to be made and as long as they are not detrimental to the vehicles character there should be no problems, i seen vintage vehicles with removable indicators etc and some vehicles can be adapted with in origonal parameters. My jeep (contary to other members feelings on this forum) has had the front blackout lamps converted to indicators, the rear brakelamps have had the internals removed and lined with foil just to give a brighter light (not my chosing but i have not reinstated them to origonal spec) Also may be a spare wheel cover with Hi- Vis material may be next but i feel that as my night time driving (or even driving in wet or poor visability with manual windscreen wipers :shock: ) is very minimal But saying all this if it has passed the govt. reulations re the M.O.T. then the other ****** road users should keep thier eyes open From personal experiance the M25 is no fun in a jeep at any time of day. Better stop here or it`ll go on all night. Ashley

Hi MM, have you checked the adjust ment on the cucth cable i have had this problem on my jeep in the past. Ashley (knowing nothing about theWC 51)

Hi all, just seen this if any body is interested ?? Have no connection with the truck. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1953-AUSTIN-K9-3-TON-TRUCK-4WD-DRIVE-AWAY_W0QQitemZ4591897122QQcategoryZ2192QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Ashley

Hi forumite`s i am sure that many here if not all have other intrests (military or not) some we know of, are there others ...... My main intrest for the past 30 years has been "german militaria" but as the prices have risen and risen and risen i have had to trim my collection right down. At present i am still collecting german helmets (though very infrequently) and Iron crosses (yet again becomming expensive) So what about the rest of you guy`s and girls ?????? Ashley

Hi all, for me it has been civies, i feel i have not earned the right to wear a uniform (let alone insignia). Also may be 4 years at a military boarding school put me off wearing uniform But just lately........ i have been purchasing some denims to wear with the vehicle, but have been shocked at the price of battle dress original and repro (and i only need the 49 patt.) But for me weapons are still a no no Ashley

No probs. Karoshi, have got to take a few days off due to a Hospital visit (nothing to serious) and i am finding time to trawl e-bay Ashley

Hi all, yet another site for german armour followers. http://www.sdkfz.com/ Ashley

Hi all, is this item of use to any one here ???? i have no association with the item Ashley http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNUSUAL-30-CAL-MACHINE-GUN-MUZZLE-COVER_W0QQitemZ6581887375QQcategoryZ586QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi all, hopefully this link will work ? http://www.kubelwagen.co.uk/ Ashley

Hi jack, have you got your issue of windscreen yet ?? there are some nice pictures /articles on M/C `s this time round as well as other canvas items (colin) Ashley

Nice photo tim, what about a black and white image ? (if poss.) Ashley

Hi Andy, where one of the lads keeps his vehicles, is also a storage area for the local bus preservation items (some real gems there as well :shock: ) well on being told the transporter was at the back of the `shed`and squeezing past a row of buses at least 6-7 deep there was what i would class as a ballast truck probally of forign manufacture similar to a scammell 20 ton ballast lorry in size. As i was leaving i belive jack and company were going to have a peek Though i do know some one who has a wartime Scammell trailer and sexton (?) sp gun on the back who was hoping to sell it last year (wasn`t cheap) if youve a spare parking space and a rather large petrol storage tank in the back garden !!!! Ashley

Hi Andy, to my knowlege this is the first time (through no lack of effort on behalf of the MVT lads ) that we have attended an event of this nature in this area(may it be the frst of many). It was a great day and well received by the public and especially by the veterans i spoke too. I agree with colins coments re jacks truck at least it was there Thanks to tim and partner and to colin, family and crew for making the extra effort to attend Jack did you find the tank transporter in the bus shed ????? Ashley
