Tony B Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The trouble with the Mecury , if it is like my mates. The throttle pedal is in the middle! Can lead to intresting situations! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Finally got recovered at 2:30am this morning after waiting since 5:30pm yesterday Many thanks to the Gruard house staff for letting me kip in the reseption rather than carrying on kipping in the Snatch and supplying a much needed cuppa. Not sure I will be recomending the Rac to anyone in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I will be recomending the Rac to anyone in the near future Thats awful service. I broke down in my M37 on the way back from Overlord and the AA were there within 30 mins. Really helpful service and then towed us back. So AA recommended by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike65 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Had a great day and have to say that my favourite vehicle running round the airfield was this: Hope you all had a great day. It did not run very far but they were still grinning. I believe they recovered it later with a Militant Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't get there in an hour, 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

private mw Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 yes nice champ and it looks like its reversing round looking at the flag and the concentration on the drivers face as fast in reverse as it is forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't think anyone knew that the champ went part way round backwards. Nothing was mentioned. I loved the Karrier mobile control tower, that was beautiful. The little tracked carrier is apparently available as a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We had the Landie geared up and ready to go - then on Sat morning I got a phone call from the guy who does the servicing work on the Bentley - he had a free slot in his schedule to look at the rear suspension, could I bring it down on Sunday morning..
