Apologies if this is posted i only had a brief scout around to see if it was or wasnt.... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/world-war-two-tank-discovered-in-german-mans-basement-10365618.html pretty interesting to see if more pictures come to light and or more information!

Was just wondering if its in private hands

Hi looking for all information on the above registered scimitar previously belonging to the 9/12th royal lancers In approx 1980-1984 I have a close friend who is looking for information see what happened to it. Any and all infor!action very kindly appreciated. Seb

Had a look at the needle scalers and that is a considerable expense that really we can't justify. Is it just going to have to be a case of a lot of elbow grease if I am to shy from grinders and such?

Okay im not sure this is the right thread as i guess this could be a generic sort of post, but ive been asked to help strip down a friends FV432 as he wants to repaint it, and im just wondering what are the best tools/consumables for the job, ive never undertaken a repaint other than that on my car however i dont think the same "rules" apply. So i just want to see what everyone else has used because you would have tried and tested and all experience and advice therefore is greatly appreciated. So is this something i can nip to the local B and Q for or will this be something that requires a specialst set of tools etc, then onto the final question, after its down to base layer is it best to take it back to metal and then primer it and build it up that way, or is it better to just go down to the primer? If the first one what is the best primer that you would reccommend sorry if these are so simple we just have never done this before and would like to take the best approach to this. Thank you in advance. Jonathan, Seb & Liam

I have literally just got back from the United States and I rented a car whilst I was there and they only asked for my card part of my ID and my work place, but i'm pretty sure that would be to do with insurance authorisation for non - US citizens and different sized vehicles.

Nearly crashed my rental when i noticed this...

Sorry to be off topic here.... Are you part of that shooting range/place near to Circus Circus just to satisfy my i swear i've seen that in my life feeling im currently getting....:confused:

Will you be starting a thread on here for us all to see? :readpaper: :angel:

Sorry If this is naive, Tim, is this the one that's outside at Cobbaton...?

Perfect thanks Chris! Much appreciated!

Hi just a quick note i have somehow managed to misplace my parts list with all diagrams in the house somewhere, was just wondering if anyone has it to hand and if they would possibly be able to email me the page showing the drivers hatch and mechanism? Would be much appreciated. Seb

After the first drive of mine, i checked it at the end and it was fine, then when i did my pre drive checks it had lost the lot! (Phew) so no idea what happened so i topped up the oil and carried on and never had an issue again! Weird, just make sure the lid is on the chain as if thats dropped in there.... its not coming back out...

Hi mate +1 to everyone on here... the 432 forum is brilliant as is Mr Sharky there, he's bailed me out of trouble a few times... hope all is well mate!

Hi all ive got a trip over to Idaho next year and im wondering if there is anything of any interest in regards to MVs over thereor anywhere that is worth visiting.. Maybe our US members can help me out! Thanks in advance Seb

haha okay mate i shall see you there with change in thy pocket!

If CVRT done I'll try and get down seems as its just down the road...

Excellent!

Got a good workshop used for making steam trains so lots of tools available, and skills I don't have, I'm hoping we can make something as a stop gap just no measurements. @Chris you thought of making body and doors before if so could you drop me a pm mate. I will keep you updated as I go....

Okay just a quick one really im not having much look in sourcing one of these and im told its not just me in this position! So, ive been in touch with several casting firms around my local area in the hope we can agree to a price and if they can manufacture the part at hand! Leads me on here to ask 2 questions: 1) Does anyone have accurate drawings for the part that i could put onto CAD, 2) Or would anyone be willing to lend me the part so i can draw it into CAD to send them. Both are a long shot but is always worth an ask, and also would anyone else be interested in the end product because maybe if they mould more the price could come down... Regards Seb

So you're the landy owner.... very nice

Welcome mate just down the road in crewe and pass radway most days small world! Welcome on board!

£600 + VAT per month. If it was per year I'd have jumped at that

Yeah it is i just cant afford that, thats a lot of expenditure for just storage compared to my £150 a month before that... which is a shame.

Thanks mate yeah theyve only got 500-600ft units available :-( alas the search continues...
