ArtistsRifles Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Will a decent looking airsoft do? We like ours. For the AK's - well those will belong to the ones riding in back!! Nothing to do with me missus, honest!! Everything else is a wee bit to big for airsoft!! :evil: Got fed up with this PC constantly having "issues" so - as it's over 5 years old have decided to replace it and the new one will have an IEE 1394 connection as well as a WinTV card so I can plug the cam-corder in - which means we should be able to provide the requested video's!! Along the lines of: * Meeting new MV for 1st time. * Falling off new MV for the 1st but not the last time. * Trying to drive new MV with kangaroo juice in the tanks. :-D :-D :-D :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Can't use a spanner to beat the internet up though Tony!! :-D Which I am right now in the hunt for those rarest of animals - the official maintenance manuals for the new beastie. If I'm gonna hit that with a spanner I'd like to know I'm hitting the right thing in the right place!! :-D :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nooo.... I've absolutely no idea where abouts in the Czech Republic it's coming from - or the route the transports will be taking!! First I'll know is the letter/e-mail.phone call telling me it's arrived in Cambridgeshire. :-D Now that will be a HAPPY day!!!! :-D :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Got a bunch of paperwork through from the DVLA today to do with first registering imported vehicles. reading through it and a loto of the form deals with information fromeither type approval or a SVA test certificate however - right at the end was the line that read "Vehicle over 10 years old are exempt form Type Approval". As I believe whats coming in IS more than 10 years old am I right in thinking it won't need to have to have an SVA test then?? Any one out there imported an MV more than 10 years old and been down this route?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 2) - Even if she gets in the back for a ride - she won't go near the turret so will have no idea whther somethings been added let alone what it is.... When I used to do a lot of bike racing, a mate of mine was always buying new bikes, and he used to get them all painted red...so he could say "no, I've always had that red one". Surely its just as easy in this game...they are all green...mostly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Bit of a difference between a 432 and the OT though.. And that doesn't even begin to consider the tricolour circle on the sides... Bit more good news - the 3rd helmet/headset for the turret gunner arrived today - this one HAS got the intercom plug on it!!! We get there slowly!!! And Ben from Army Radio Sales has the aerial !!!

Richard Farrant Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 As I believe whats coming in IS more than 10 years old am I right in thinking it won't need to have to have an SVA test then?? Any one out there imported an MV more than 10 years old and been down this route?? Neil, The DVLA will not accept the age of the vehicle unless it is verified by one of the allocated club representatives, either MVT or IMPS I would think in this case. Problem is, that there will be little info on these vehicles regarding serial numbers v. manufacture date, in this country. Why not get Russian Trucks to register it for you?

TooTallMike Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Any one out there imported an MV more than 10 years old and been down this route?? Correct that vehicles over 10 (I think) years old don't need SVA. My MUTT didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks Mike - thats a relief!! :-D Richard - this is - currently - the plan...

ArtistsRifles Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Sorry Mike - thats not it. Missing ones are a 5 pin "D" plug!!! :-( :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Oh well :-(. You may find you have a socket for it anyway as it's certainly Ruskie and the right period. It's presumably for a 12V supply so it might be useful for a beacon or similar. I'll hang onto it anyway just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
