Ben.. Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Good to see the video from Thursday evening. The steering really started to work well by the end. Excellent result with the award, a reflection of the work and dedication needed to get a special vehicle like the Cromwell up and running, Well down Rick. Looking forward to seeing it in print.

ashtonpete Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Found them Kevin, I used a deep scan recovery and these popped up, thought I'd lost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonpete Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 All in all a mighty fine show, now that I know the do's and don'ts and should have done's, next time I will be better prepared and a hired motorhome and also a means of getting about, maybe one of them Segways if by next year they have a mains points to charge it. I can only imagine the mud if it had rained..... in my estimation it would have been a show stopper for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Here's Rick taking a pose for the Milweb photographer which will be seen from a different angle when published as this is my shot. Just in case you didn't know Rick has won an award off Milweb for best classic vehicle at the show.

Peter4456 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I've followed this thread since the beginning and you've done an amazing job, resulting in the very well deserved prize at Beltring on Sea! Very well done indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonpete Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You should have been in the frame as well. It wouldn't have been at the show but for you. :clap: Well to be honest I am quite happy that I have promoted my credibility in the MV fraternity and met some mighty fine decent blokes, that's good enough for me.

eddy8men Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 pete without your help on the project we would not have made it to the show, I owe you a beer or two. it's been a real slog but we got there in the end. cheers rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I've been watching this thread from the start and am in awe of the standard of the restoration, well done it was great to see it in person, was surprised by the turn of speed as you went away from the prize giving. I was driving the halftrack following you and decided to run away from the arena as I'd of either got in your way or been lapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Pete, Here is Rick receiving the awards. Excellent and well deserved - I had a major case of tank envy. Big thanks to Rick for a look around on Saturday and a very knowledgeable chat. I can't wait to see your Centaur finished now Kevin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
