eddy8men Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 a slight error of judgement when driving the Cromwell around the yard yesterday resulted in the daf coming off worse than the Cromwell (which only scratched the paint) I hardly felt the knock, just goes to show the damage you can do if not on your guard when driving these things !

Adrian Barrell Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I refer the learned gentleman to a previous comment of his ''with regard to the Cromwell breakdown on saturday we managed to find a decent driver today and it performed faultlessly :-D'' I take it he wasn't available yesterday! Hat off to you for posting that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin powles Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Rick, Who was the commander during this event?. I recall at War and Peace when you were reversing into your parking spot, I gave a signal to the guy at the front of the tank to stop, but you still came back a good 18 inches, Daf was parked behind side on, good job an early instruction was given. Is there a sense you are not actually moving when driving on of these ?. kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy that it was not me directing you, I would have never heard the end of it... That would have been a fire side story at every war and peace I'll give you a clap for posting it up :clap: and another from Adrian lol :clap: Thumbs up for posting :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 On a positive note, at least you can get to the back of the bumper to paint over that rust now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 in my defence I was actually supposed to be under guidance from a friend who's an ex chieftain ece so I assumed he was up to speed with guiding tanks but he ran off out of sight so I drove on and put a bit of left tiller on too early, (another 12" and i'd have been ok ) but there is no point trying to pass off the blame it lies fair and square with me. what I should have done was stop and wait til he appeared again but I was having too much fun converting money into noise and exhaust smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmac Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 converting money into noise and exhaust smoke once the kids are fed and clothed I couldn't think of a better thing to do with the little pieces of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
