Matty Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hi all Matty here. I'm a 53 year old ex squaddie. did my time with the 13th/18th royal Hussars, on Chieftains, Scorpions, I drove a Cent once and the occasional land rover. I was also in the LI as a TA soldier I'm a wannabe military vehicle owner. But ill health (through service) put the blocks on that. Oh and the fact that I'm a bit big doesent help.

Mrs Hardyferret Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hi Matty & welcome. :wave: Pull up a chair, make yourself at home and enjoy. :-D No doubt Jack will be along in a bit to welcome you and let you know the house rules - but don't be put off - You must insist he tells you where the dancing girls are and the keys to the drinks cabinet.

ArtistsRifles Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Welcome to the forum mate!! Good place to hang out :-) Don't worry about the being too big bit - you ain't seen either myself or John (FV601) :-) Many things the two of us might be - sylph-like isn't one of them!! :evil: But John fits in his Saladin and I'm happy knocking about in my Stalwart :-) BTW - Service life left me with epilepsy - but it hasn't stopped me - if you ever come to somewhere like W&P and want to have a play just come say hello and we'll sort something out for you - OK!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Welcome Matty! It's a brilliant place here but pay little attention to our houseboy Jack, he gets obnoxious every now and then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, watch out for Jack, Matty. He thinks he runs the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks all I live near Chester le Street Co Durham. did my reg service with little more than a crushed finger. Chieftain tank hatch :cry: Then damaged my spine on an instructors course with the TA. spent a couple of hours hoying people and telegraph poles around. Then did something putting the kit away :? A car smash finished the job. So I get a war pension which makes me sound hard. 8-) Most of the shows I've been to are combined stuff. I was into classic cars till I couldn't work on em anymore. so the bigger shows had military vehicles too. I would say my interests lie in the 60's 70s stuff. Off course RAC related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
