Jack Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Ok chaps. Martlylee pick up on this so here is the question............. Would you like to see other boards/subjects on HMVF?

Rick W Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Scrapyard rescues. If anyone sees something in a shed, scrappy or a field, and cant afford to rescue/salvage it, let someone else know so they can! 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Scrapyard rescues. If anyone sees something in a shed, scrappy or a field, and cant afford to rescue/salvage it, let someone else know so they can! 8-) I second that .............Too many rare vehicles have been lost.

martylee Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 As I said earlier I'd like to see a board/topic about movies where military vehicles can be seen and war stories. Pretty much the kind as with the books. Not all of us can read you know! ;-) Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I like the idea of the scrapyard/salvage vehicles too. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Salvage/scrap is interesting and i like the idea of the films subject very much. Lots of fun to be had there. I would like to see a fleet register to see how the mob is growing. I would also like to see an idiots guide so that variants of MVs can be identified using forum members knowledge. I suppose this would string from I may be stupid but.... battlefields, museums, monuments and memorials are very important to me and I would happily contribute ideas to making good guides for those who want to look at that sort stuff.

TooTallMike Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 A fleet register may also be of interest to film & TV companies so maybe there could be a section to indicate whether you'd like to be considered for such work 8-) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 How about a dating section. I know many single MV batchelors... :flower: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Lonely hearts section....interesting :hug: Like the idea of a vehicles for hire idea, scrapyard rescue, stories, can there be any more....?? 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Keep them coming folks and can anyone 'second' the above ideas please :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 OK - I'll "second" the proposals for: ScrapyardsSalvage VehiclesFleet RegistertFilm/TV Work (linked to Fleet Register??) Not sure about the lonely hearts idea - the wife might think I'm getting ideas and take anti-social action... :shake: :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 How about a dating section. I know many single MV batchelors... :flower: I agree. There aren't enough lovely ladies in this hobby. I have all these big green babe magnets 8-) but nothing seems to stick to them :-(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The polarity is wrong mate - the big green magnets seem to repel the babes rather than atract them.. Can't think why????? :roll: Remember your school science lessons - opposite poles attract, like poles repel - so if thats true we should be peeling the ladies off, not watching them fade into the distance. Maybe ladies have a deep seated attraction for the green machines they won't reveal and thus fall victim to the "like poles repel" effect??? :evil: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomer Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Tootallmike - In this modern age, I imagine a dating section might not only attract ladies to your big green machines. As for the other suggestions (scrap/salvage/register/films) - wholehearted support from me so consider them seconded/thirded/whatever...

martylee Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I heard someone mention a guide to museums and such. I'm currently planning a trip to Budapest and I know they have got a couple of museums. If we had a topic of cities with a list of museums and other sights, it would be really easy to find your way. Perhaps even a list of members living there!?

Jack Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ok chaps. So , just to get this buttoned down here is a list of what we would like to see; Scrapyard rescues Fleet register of members MVs. Fleet photo register of members MVs. Buyers guide - written by those who know :-D Museum guides. Dating board I am sure that I can come up with a completely new site for that. ... how about MILWIFE (the boy is a genius) :-D Some of the above can have their own section of the front page..... Anymore for anymore? Cheers Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just for the record no i am not into the "other" category as I live in Essex not Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think you're slipping into geographics as opposed to demographics. When I first saw Milwife I misread it and had a well known acronym in my head for a few minutes. We don't necessarily want to get our wires crossed with that sort of website Jack my lad, but it's an image to retain for days when your car breaks down on the petrol station forecourt, as a consequence you give your last fiver to your kids for bus fare and then you lose your company security pass when you get to work. Not a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 To add to this, which boards can be merged with other boards? Perhaps a different order of the boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 We don't seem to have anywhere to post regarding tents and camping equipment - I have had to bung a query on tents in the 'Accessories' section as that seemed to be nearest what I wanted. Incidentally, theres a guy/gal on Ebay trying to sell a quarter of a 20x20 (or is it a 24x24?) as a dining shelter. Mind you, you don't need a dozen people if you're only going to put up a bit of one do you?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 An idea for another board is a support network for people embarking on long journeys in unfamiliar territory. Steelsoldiers has a similar system in the US where members post their locations and what they can offer to other members on a friendly basis e.g. mechanical skills, recovery/towing capability, short-term storage of broken down vehicles, or even just a cuppa and a friendly face. The idea is if you plan a long drive you make a note of contact details for members en route and if you have a problem you have someone to call for support. To take an example, I'm planning to go to Kemble and it'd be good to have some numbers to call even just to ask where the nearest petrol station is. Equally, we're not far from the M25 and I'd be happy to offer any help I could to anyone who found themselves in difficulty. Just a thought - may not be worthwhile in the UK / Europe.

Mike - that is a cracking idea - I like that - that is clever - think we should do that. A great safety net. But what would we call it?
