N.O.S. Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Not that there can be anyone more important than your wife, husband, dog or kids I know - but have you ever had a famous or well-known person in your MV? :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 We had our GMC at the First Goodwood Revival event and were entailed to run VIP's from their drop off point outside the circuit across the road round a bit of the circuit and then into the middle to be dropped off outside the main tent we were helping the guests down the steps from the back of the truck when I gave out my hand to help the next person and who was it, you will never guess....... Murray Walker OMG.......How cool is that, I was well chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 We had our GMC at the First Goodwood Revival event and were entailed to run VIP's from their drop off point outside the circuit across the road round a bit of the circuit and then into the middle to be dropped off outside the main tent. I was there as well, and one of my passengers was Eddie Jordan of F1 racing team fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 That's a great R3, and quite a coincidence, as I had my newly acquired Clarkat Tug at the latest Goodwood Revival - and just look who tried to run off with it.......:shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that, he really knows his stuff and seems to enjoy what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Jerry Thurston attempted to change gear in my Antar (filming for official Dorset Seam Fair video), He soon realised he didn't have a clue and settled down to doing circuits of Dorset Playpen in the gear he set off in.....

antarmike Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 The previous owner of my k2 ambulance, had Sir John Mills in the cab if that counts. My series one Landy was bought new By Courages Brewery as a fire engine. after serving well, Sir John Courage bought it, stripped of the pump etc, and used it to tow his horse box.

Topdog Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Met Caddy Lee Preston at the pub in Tonbridge and she wanted a look at my Ferret. Needless to say, she got her wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clark Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 In May I had the privilege to take my Sherman to Pilsen in the Czech republic for their 65th anniversary liberation celebrations. It was also a privilege to be the first Sherman in Pilsen since 1945,but this pales into insignificant as I had the honour of giving a ride in my Sherman to 92 year old Eric Petterson who actualy drove one of the first Sherman's into Pilsen in May 1945. Here is a photo of him. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spood Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Jack ............. sorry best I can do :blush: Although my jeep was once owned by Peter de Savaray (if anyone has heard of him), he had it painted bright orange, traces of which I found on some of the bits during restoration.

72rover Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Well, it's not a military vehicle, but John Rhys-Davies has been on, in and around my '72 88" Land-Rover quite a few times. It was used as a prop for the "Archaeology" TV programme in the US, produced by the Discovery Channel (it may have aired as "Time Travelers" or somesuch in the UK), with John Rhys narrating the opening an closing sequences, leaning against the Rover. The Rover appeared in two dozen, 1/2 hour episodes over three years. (I appeared as an extra in four or five shows, but only the Rover was paid a performance fee!) He's a hell of a nice guy - and owns (or owned) 5 Land-Rovers, including a 130" Luten-bodied workshop vehicle which I believe 'lives' on his estate on the Isle of Man. Another 109" lives in Kenya. He's not at all keen on "modern" coil-sprung Rovers with all that electrickery.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
