Sam Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 hello all, so for my first post; i'm based in norfolk, uk. the only MV i have at present is a series 88 landy, running mostly on old chipfat. i also run a TK pantechnican, converted to live in, a dodge 56s mark 2; a good general van and a 1972 leyland FG diesel - nice lorry, needs complete restoration. i'm here to find out more about the older vehicles, 4x4, 6x4 and 6x6, with a view to towing a showman's (hoping to aquire one of them later!). myself and friends set up the RCC - www.rollingclassicsclub.co.uk - and have since found great forums like these, so it's likely there's no longer a great need for the RCC. hopefully soon be out and about in something tonky, maybe a mack, RL or reo. open to suggestions, as like i said, i'm new to this class of lorry. thanks, see you somewhere sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowtracdave Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi Sam....looks like we have similar interests . I looked at a Scammell a while ago but ended up in a completely different direction with a Unimog then a second (one very rotten , the other in bits ) . I also have two showmans wagons , the smaller one I'm currently restoring as and when I get a bit of time , the second big one is presently composting in a friends field..I suspect it may well collapse before I am able to get to work on it . Nice photo's of the lorries on your website . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 hi all again, like the forum, great to "meet" such a crowd; to the point, positive, friendly. hope you all get chances to tinker on engines n axles together. dave, i've been toying with the RL or Q4 direction; a few who know tell me they are simply not heavy enough, then others who've tried all sorts of combinations say it's all possible! i put a question up in a different section, and hope to soon at least work out what tool fits the job. hope to see some of you "out in the real world" someday, sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
