charlie1944 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 hi, about time I introduced myself after lurking on here a while. im dan from Milton Keynes,always been interested in military especially ww2.im part of a living history group called "poor bloody infantry". Ive always wanted a military vehicle from the ww2 period motorbike to a tank.but with young kids I find my budget doesn't stretch that far yet. whats the cheapest way to start in ownership? wouldn't mind a royal enfield flying flea or matchless g3l to start the ball rolling well that's a bit about me dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hello Dan, also from MK. Good to see another local on here. I started off with a Landrover, sold it, Landy ambulance, sold it. Bought a knackered 1944 Morris, sold that, then a Ferret eventually ending up to be able to afford a 44 GPW. Took a while...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1944 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 hi,do you go to the mk museum event? well hopefully the saving will go to plan as long as the wife and kids don't get in my way ha ha. hopefully get a brit truck or jeep.a bren carrier would be amazing but till my lotto ticket comes up ill have to dream till then. might start with a motorbike to start.

charlie1944 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 thanks for the welcomes guys. I have been mk museum the last couple of years,nice friendly event. don't think I can make this years show as it clashes with the victory show I believe. thanks for the offer of a ride in one of you vehicles,sounds great.never actually been for a ride in one so that would be great one day. do you guys also do wicksteed? stoke bruernne?
