Go for it Neil :tup: and go for the Samaritan :banana:

Richard is that that 3 way staircase you were talking about :dunno:

Twist that chassis Joris :-o

I think I am going to go with Karoshi's suggestion on the PMR466 radios as I can get some decent headphones and mic's with them, and on the plus side thay can be used in other vehicles and walking around etc. Found a good site for them here http://www.kcb.co.uk/shop2/

Thanks Mike I am waiting on responses from a couple of places so will let you know in due course.

Very nice pictures Jessie, I assume that last jeep is a "Follow Me" Jeep for the aircraft :dunno:

I was trying to be nice about Chuckle Pee village and not drop Jack and Jerry in it :naughty:

I wonder if Jack is navigating again or they stopped to buy a TomTom :roll:

Just like to add my 2 penneth worth, excellent meeting the guys and to put names to faces etc, and many thanks to Andy and Paul for a very proffesional tour. Hope Andy is OK after doing a 2 point barrel roll down the hill after finding some 65 year old barb wire (damn just slipped out) :angel: Who was it in the toilet (TUNNEL) anyway :dunno: :-D

I believe it was towards that hot bed of entertainment Chuckle Pee village on the way home :dunno:

Going by the dash layout it is a civilian jeep as Ashley said CJ5/6, below is a picture of a my military dash. Put it on the road, it's a JEEP [attachment deleted by admin]

I would say that this is a "NEKAF" jeep, one that was built in Dutchland under licence (I think) also it is 12 volt and has no split screen, have you got pictures of the back where you might see that the tailgate has been welded up, also show a picture of the dash instruments, is it a military dash with seperate clocks and guages or one big speedo with the fuel gauge in it, be nice to see. :-D

Morning Lee and anyone else who may come on before leaving :-D

5:40 I thought you they were leaving at 05:30, so he was still late :-D

The very early ones did but then was stopped by the government for advertising I believe

He has gone to bed .......................bless him

You need a PSV licence when the vehicle is being used for Hire or Reward

I would hazard a guess at a CJ5 or something very similar, it does not have the recessed headlights of an M38A1 it has an alternator by the looks, the battery is in the engine compartment when it ( TWO )should be in the firewall with access from the top just below the windscreen, best thing to do is go on http://www.m38a1.com and have a look at the pages on there, you will find a mine of information like this First Generation Vehicles: First Generation model year deliveries were from initial production in1952 through October/November 1953. Attributes of first generation deliveries included: Battery Box top securing mechanism consisting of 8 thumb screws around the perimeter of the box lid. Front Grill mounting consisting of two 45 degree hinges, one at each frame rail allowing for easy removal. Radiator was mounted to the fan shroud and front grill in a free standing position. Front Fender seams specific to the first generation deliveries. Front Bumper width of 54 1/4" at the longest point with no hole Of the First Generation deliveries, there was a subset of very early deliveries which included: Use of the shorter M38 front bumper which had the hole in the center for the hand crank of previous models. Second Generation Vehicles: The second generation deliveries began around October/November 1953, where modifications were made including: Battery Box top securing mechanism consisting of a cam-lever strap assembly. Front Grill mounting (fixed/rigid) consisting of a large bolt at the center base of the grill. Radiator was mounted to the fan shroud/grill assembly with the addition of two support rods attached to the leading edge of the firewall. Front Fender seams specific to the second generation deliveries. Continued Front Bumper width of 54 1/4" at the longest point with no hole. Here is an M38A1 [attachment deleted by admin]

Nice one Jack..................did you bin yours is that how you know

Is there a joke in there somewhere :whistle:

:dunno:

Surely its the same with two people or 15 people, normally only one person is insured but if it's on private land then insurance is negated to a certain extent :dunno:

That's nice :-D

How long does it need to be :whistle:

Andyroo done it with his friend see below Hi all, I took my class H with a friend of mine in June last year. It was quite straightforward. Contacted the DVLA though their phone system, which has no button to press for class H test, so I got though to the car testing department. Told the gent what I wanted to do and he sorted it all out there and then. You pay by credit card up front. They come to you, so you have to inform them where you would like to meet them. We met at a pub car park in Little Eaton. Anyway, a confirmation form came though the post a few days later with the date and time, which we’d, agreed upon. The test is common since. It should be done from the side of the road, however, the examiner asked if he could check what the visibility was like in the commanders position ( sorry, I forgot to mention we took in my CVR(T) Striker ). He said he was happy to stand on the seat and conduct the test on the road. The root was around 3 miles, Turn left out of carpark onto road. Pull up by the side of road and set off again. Turn left onto another road, pull up by the side of the road, stop, set off again. Emergency stop. Reverse left turn into a 'T' junction. Driving took approx 20 minutes. Then 3 or 4 questions on high way code and two questions on the operation of the vehicle. I was expecting questions on track tension, manoeuvring and such, but he asked me where was the dipstick and to operate the left indicator and check they were working. Dead easy. Cost of test was £43.00 each. Carl, however very nearly couldn't take his as his photo ID - passport went out of date the day before, he was VERY lucky the examiner was in a good mood.
