timsytanker Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi, I have been collecting and restoring vehicles for over 10 years now and in the past have owned M3A1 Scout Car, Dodge WC63, Ferret MK1, Universal carrier, Dingo and M5A1 Stuart. At the moment I have Ford M8, Ford M20, GAZ-67 and my pride and joy T-34/85. I aim to add a M18 Hellcat in the not too distant future. I try and do as much work on them as I can but for the heavy stuff and fabrication I use the excellent Adrian Barrell, his stuff is first rate, he made things from flashlight holders to the sand skirts on my Stuart and everything he has made has fitted and looked great. I am not his agent but if you need something fabricated, he's your man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 20 acre field set aside at the event HQ for playing with WWII tracked armour :-o :-o So you might just see some of Tim's vehicles in Suffolk next Summer Jack! Anyway, more later on. In the meantime enjoy the site. Cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5Clive Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Me too Joris! - I nearly fell down when I was browsing through the magazine in WH Smith's in Ipswich on Saturday :-o Naturally I felt duty bound to purchase the copy of Classic Military Vehicle afterwards :roll: Cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Naturally! I got mine delivered to my house, not by a sherman tank unfortunanly but by the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I kind of get mine delivered to home - there's no apparent pattern to the delivery dates though.. Did try asking our postie what the issue was - but alas he can't speak English. :? :? :? Still - at least it DOES turn up!! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Cancelled my subscription as my copies kept going missing, suppose I'll see the posty driving around in a MV next year.. tried to get the latest copy but everywhere I've been has sold out :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 That's a bummer Lee... At least mine do arrive - eventually!! Lucky I'm not interested in the contents of the "For sale" section yet!!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 My December issue arrived halfway into December but the January issue arrived right on time... Odd but as long as it drops on my doormat I don't care much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Clive Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have to say, I'm just coming to the end of a two year subscription to Flypast Magazine. It is always delivered to me before it arrives at the shops and I always get mine before Maurice Hammond - My neighbour who owns and flys the P-51 Mustang :roll: If he is ever featured in it, which he regularly is, I ring him to see if he's seen it and invarabily I end-up running down there with my copy to show him 8-) Turns out chatting to him last month he doesn't actually subscribe, but gets the magazine sent compilmentary by the editors. Lets face it, if you wrote a magazine and were on good terms with a warbird operator, you would send them a complimentary copy too!!! But, it proves the point that KEY Publishing, have got things right. The subscribers get there mag first, then the shops and complimentary copies also. Just a shame its full or classic aircraft and not MV's :azn: Cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 So out of principle you stop you subscription? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Clive Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 lol The two year subscription was a present for my 30th Birthday, so I guess its up to me to stump up the cash to renew it in January. In fact I probably will do because I enjoy the publication very much. Now that Jack's writing has come to an end in CMV we'll need something else to fill the gap :-o cds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I enjoy CMV too, I do not read everything but the majority is very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
