mark m uk Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep, get your old van bogged down in soft shifting sand, and the best thing is arrange a tow from the AA.............. ....................Anti-aircraft Artillary, Why ? who did you think ? I hope the 'Man-with-a-Van' doesn't mind, :sweat: Regards Mark. P.s. if he is OK with it, I have some pictures of some of his other 'old vans' I'd like to upload. ? ? ?

mark m uk Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Triple A even... Yeah, I know - we all know ..................But it doesn't fit the JOKE ! Jokes require slack, they are not based on fact - they are jokes Anyway, Thanks Adrian, and yes it is a fact you were chugging along nicely until I made you stop. Anyone with less manners would have kept going and not got bogged, we all know the value of momentum on mud or sand. Regards Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 OR the bit where the half track goes forward, and the van stays still... something has to give! :-D Seen similar using a steel cable, despite the advice given numptys decided to carry on. The rest of us decided afterwards that the bumper of the stuck vehicle had been cut off very cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m uk Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Mark, just noticed your footnote regarding pics of my other junk, post away! A couple to go on with, I will post more later, but it takes an age to upload to P/B with the B/B connection we get out here in the sticks. Did you get those pictures sent from the guy in the red marshal vest ? Bloody brilliant one of your Ronson done in Sepia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Did you get those pictures sent from the guy in the red marshal vest ? Aah yes, Mr Grumpy.......! Yes, he sent me a set, some good shots there. I look forward to seeing more of yours. As for my ''Ronson'', well, it's never caught fire yet!

spanter Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 From talking to Phil Benham and Dennis Smith last week they said it should be a two year event which is good as if it happened this year we couldn't go due to the wedding. Really enjoyed the show last year and Sarah went around with the land army again- but the steam display with the enormous crane was a real highlight for me.
