Fairbairn Sykes Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Big ray and papav, my jeep is not realy a classic military motor, although its covered in " battle scars" it sort of looks the part, that is jeepish??? but its an M38A1 with the standard wheels removed and some fat fandango's poked on in place, it was cheeper for me to buy new wheel and tyre sets than lash out on those hard to find 700 size bits of rubber, I do even use the banger to go to work in sometimes, credit to it its managed 140mile round trips and always performed well, it always gets an amount of people looking at it when I park it in the local high street, if they are young bloods interested I give em a good tour of all its top bits,that is its shovel and convoy lights and get the bonnet up to point at the Carter carb, that is always good to impress em, funny thing is I bought a load of WW2 (I think) bombs the other day, (Totaly safe things) they are big old dogs sort of fork lift size things, perhapse someone local might be interested in a trade/swap. back to my bunker.
