Dougy FV432 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hello All, At the beginning of the year, I wasn't to bothered about going. But as the show has got closer, I thought yes I'm going. This year is the first year we have had accomidate school holidays, so I booked the first week of so the boy and I could bring our Fv432 along. It wasn't until I was filling in the booking form, that to my horror, we can't go, he's still at school the week of Beltring, I've booked the week after, which is the first week of the holidays. This will be the first time I will miss in about 6 years. Make sure you all have a great time, and hopefully if they have to change venues because the site is apparently sold they can change the week at the same time Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilitantGraham Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That just leaves drive/fan belts and a jack!!! Take the drive belts with you when you get the bulbs from a commercial vehicle parts supplier, they may be able to match them. Failing that, try an agricultural supplier. Farm machinery uses all sorts of odd types of belt. Bearing stockists are another good source, most of them can get any seal, chain or belt to order.

john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I shall be looking to arrive next Tuesday in Bertha and look to park up in America's Field. Have downloaded the H M V T logo and printed it off onto card so if you see a Morris 15cwt named Bertha then stop-off and say "Hello" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Belated note from myself and Zoomer - we are "professional "snappers working at the show for the event organisers this year. They have given us some nice red shirts with "Press Team" written on them. Our job is to do the snaps for the website which are uploaded daily. we are CMV regulars and all our stuff goes to them to be used over the year. Whatever you think of the show it is THE event to get stock pix. There will be two other Press Team guys working hard and a video crew who are real pros out to make a decent product. They are not MV veterans and will appreciate help IDing the motors and important features. Zoomer and I will be happy to snap HMVF vehicles and owners if they would like us to. We don't shove price lists under your nose. We do reasonably well out of the event already and will always email snaps to people who ask. So this is NOT a sales pitch. We just want to take the best snaps we can and meet likeminded people. Look out for us and say hello. We were at the hop farm on Thursday and some interesting AFVs had arrived already. Wishing you all a safe journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Look forward to seeing you both there. As said elsewhere on the forum, unforseseen incident notwithstanding, Maud the Stalwart should be there on Thursday evening with me in the hot seat (literally in this weather). Show ID is AMP-7 plus there will be a HMVF logo in the windscreen - we'll be in the America's field in with the Essex Armour & Softskin group - stop by and say hello and there might even be a beer left!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 At the last minute, I did managed to free up enough time to make it to Beltring this year! I'll be arriving Wednesday afternoon, and I'll be leaving Sunday afternoon. I'll be riding my unrestored pre-WW2 Dutch Army bike and I'll be staying in a "Canadian Brown" two-man tent near a Ford CMP 4x4 15-cwt and a Humber Armoured Car.

Met a couple of forum member whislt we were there - apologies if I can't recall who now but, like Berni, I'm shattered - long drive home home (hey - at 30 mph anywhere is a long drive.. :-)) and the after-effects of all that sun/heat.

ashley Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi all, my visit was the best ever :-D my gratitude to Berni, Rowan, and their friends for their friendliness Sorry to hear Russ is worse, even my ankles/ legs really swelled up after driving home on sunday a. m. Hi to enigma whom i met approx three years ago more or less in the same spot but only just connected the face to the name. I did wander up to the Irish camp but it seemed deserted, and i know i missed many others but theres always next year :lol: Also chatted with karoshi, Cara, Mick, and some of their friends, met jack and family (what did you think as a first time visitor ?? ) For some reason did not seem to take many pictures but will post some more soon. not forgetting john of course Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
