His boss Terry bought my Martian 10 ton GS which was stored at Bletchley Park for a while. When and where is John's meet, I have never been?

retriever Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 hi mike drove the martian and used it for lots of recovery jobs. only repairs i ever did was change the clutch and put new windscreens in, after it was nicked and used to knock down a wall made from engineering bricks. I also remember cutting up an old scammell of yours. It was you that got me into this expensive and time consuming hobby, thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastblock Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm rubbish at remembering directions. Can anyone mark the spot on this map? (I'm assuming the farm is on this section but IKBA applies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
