The Register news letter states "for further details and an entry form please contact Brian Carter " I think Brian is an HMVF member so hopefully he'll respond as I'm unsure if he'd want me to post his contact details on here ! Hope you understand Mike !

The internet is never gonna be able to cope with your demands Clive , that did make me smile seeing the download time :-)

Very courageous men indeed !

I have always tried to take my Humber into the arena when the wheeled armour slot is on if the conditions are not too rough on the drive train ( I do need to drive her home after the show :-D ) However since we've been at Folkestone I've decided to cut down on weight in her on the journey to ease her mechanical suffering as she's a bit on the weighty side even empty and its now a 120 mile round trip ! This means kipping in the back for a week instead of 9x9 and having to clear it all out for the arena is a bit of a drag ! This year I missed the slot and shared the arena with mainly soviet designs from the cold war !:blush: It is a fact that the one way system did put me off any further attempts ! At Beltring I seem to remember only the one wheeled armour slot during the week but Folkestone seemed to have maybe three so I guess either the other topics are getting thin on the ground or wheeled armour is becoming more interesting I will still always try to attend the show though cos I just love doing it !:-D:-D:-D

Ok Bernard the hint is taken ! I'd add another R to the title before Mark gets upset though ! :-D

I came close to buying this in early 2000's at Beltring ,the Landrover tailgate was the give away ! I offered a couple of hundred as a cheeky bid and only just missed out by another couple I was told at the time ! The headlamps where full of water then and she was not running on all cylinders :-) Glad she's still around and on someones to do list ! I'd have one tomo if I had the welding and fabricating skills of some of our members ! Best of luck with her !

Only one I got I'm afraid mate ! :red:

Best video I could get on the day I'm afraid , to John and Rick thank you both for allowing me to explore your wonderfull restorations , a real credit to you both ! Amazes me that chaps like my Great Uncle Ron went into battle in such cramped hot and noisy conditions and faced death on a daily basis and even enjoyed some of it ! Hats off to all tank crews back then and now ! You have my respect and gratitude !

I enjoyed the show very much because I camped near good friends and was surrounded by the hobby I love for a week , even though it's double the distance for me and my old Humber and I pay the camping fee (works out £3.50 approx. a day ):-) , I think we should "make hay while the sun shines" because I can see the site becoming a housing estate in the near future and would Rex have the enthusiasum to start the site search all over again ? Lets hope I'm wrong though ! See you all next year with luck ! :-D P.S. the post war convoy was great fun (thanks Bernard) ! :-D

It's a wonderfull island where old vehicles run free without fear of the gas axe Rob :-) I'm sure I've seen you there !

Very nice , I think she'd look lovely in an old garage sort of colour scheme so I'd be tempted to keep her as a vintage wrecker , unless an unwanted complete body becomes available , There was a mint one at War and peace this year I'll post up a pic ASAP ! Good luck with her !

I'm in with Beaver Clive !

Excellent reason mate ! Thanks for sharing the photo's ! :-D

Good to see a group of Scammells on the trip ! Good luck to all !:-D

Wow ! :shocked:

Thanks for taking the time to share the great photos Paul ! Always nice to see :-D

It's got hurled off the wheels ok on the wet journey back but some of it has baked on in places but not to worry. The hairy part of the journey was getting to the show because I decided rain or not I was going. The spray from traffic on the M27 wiped out both mirrors & the spray came in because of the open hatches. This caused a lot of wetness over me & my kit, but the condensation on the inside of the windscreens was a problem & the vacuum wipers rather limp as I struggled up hill trying to get from lane 1 to lane 3.

 

The only thing that prevented a major accident was the rear view camera. Quite cheap now you ought to have one. Also have a forward facing camcorder (only £18 from China) for those occasions when an HGV cuts in just it a bit too fine as a punishment me for being too slow

Clive , I take my hat off to you for your determination mate :-D ! I've driven mine in the rain with all hatches open and the grin does slightly wear off as you get drenched by 30mph rain bullets :-D

It is amazing some of the dash cam footage that is shared this days ! Often I wouldn't have believed peoples stupidity had it not been caught on camera , professional drivers and day trippers alike ! Makes me even more cautious when driving ! "Expect the unexpected "

Here's hoping for a lovely sunny next show for you mate (Just not too hot )! :-D

Ah , I see ! All good fun getting out though I imagine ! Hope you've cleaned all that mud off of your nicely painted nether regions :cool2:

Hi Clive , was that a planned stopping point or as far as she'd go ? My experience of mud at the Hopfarm was quite positive in my Pig ,selected 4X4 and off we went through some pretty thick bogs ! I guess she's heavy enough to reach down to the hard stuff Hope you dry off soon mate ! Such a shame about the rain I hope it didn't dampen any spirits too much !

Hi Max , fairly certain now that its made by Clayton Dewandre the part number for the complete compressor is LV6/MT1 SV/PCGA124 . Good luck mate

Hi Max , thats the number of the gasket from the Explorer parts book ! Could also be from a Meadows powered Scammell Constructor I guess !

Here's one in situ mate !

Looks Scammell Explorer with Meadows petrol engine to me mate ! Not sure where you'll find a head gasket but I'm sure someone on here will have found some ! Part number is LV6/MT1/SV/P3960
