    Fuel price - 90p in Dorchester

    in Other Chatter

    Posted

    if I remember, 10-15 years ago, there were more petrol cars on the road, so diesel was cheaper, now I think that as there are more people using diesel cars, the price is dearer, supply and demand, after all, petrol is more expensive to produce than diesel (so they say) so diesel should be cheaper than petrol

    I think it's a French Panhard armoured car. I think the Irish army used them.

     

     

    yep, AML 90, Bovvy has one, ex Argie captured after the Falklands, also they got the AML 60 aswell, ex French. The South Africans licence built them,called Eland, would love to have one. When the magic numbers come up this is on the top of my list

     

    Looks like you had a lot of fun there!!!!

    I used to enter this one regularly in the Eighties, until it clashed with another event. Still visit it when I can, a good turn out of commercials always there.

     

    used to go there in the early to mid 80's whilst on hols with my parents, we had a couple of friends who had preserved buses (London Transport Guy single deckers), used to go in sat evening, come back sunday for the full day. Wanted to enter my 1965 Austin A40 one year, car section organiser said no. (mind you, he did say in his reply letter that he didnt want any more MGB's!!!:shocked:) There were some great exhibits though, a lot of vehicles we didnt see up here, really good show.

     

    Monday we would go to Great Warbirds at West Malling, happy times

    Dont segregate exhibits, when I was at Apedale with my Landy, I said hello to a couple of jeep owners, I got the impression that if I had a jeep, or similar WW11 vehicle, they would have welcomed me with open arms!!! But, if we are segregated, how can you make new friends?

     

    As an aside, I have just ordered a new 9x9 from our glorious leader(!)

     

    All the best

    What is this 4

    Not quite, Mark. It was built in 1937..........the photo shows it after I restored it to working order in 1980

     

    Engine is a 9 hp Lister

     

    Lister was going to be my next guess, 1937? is that the date for the winch?
