bridie beckett Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Its Bridie here you may of heard dads decision to sell the Jimmy. This was once his favourite toy who no one could keep him away from. Now he is thinking about getting a Ward La France. None of the family want this as we all love the GMC! SO PLEASE DO THIS POLE/ PETITION TO SAVE THE GMC! Thank you The Becketts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Sounds like a midlife crisis. If I were you, Jack, I'd buy a decent PW motor. I wish i had. KEEP THE JIMMY.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Bridie, You've got to make him keep the jimmy in the family somehow. Why? 1. He won't realise how much he'll miss it till its gone, then it'll be too late 2. A WLF is not the best family vehicle - where are you all going to hang from (including dogs)? 3. A gmc is great fun to drive around narrow winding lanes, a WLF is not quite such fun here Wouldn't the best solution be for the family to try and accommodate a second truck, that way Jack gets to indulge in his obvious passion for real "muscle trucks", and you get to drive the screaming memie, so long as you're happy with a hand-me-down jimmy instead of a soft-top sports car ( :whistle:) :banme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Jack's keeping very quite :whistle: Harry said he's gone right of Milky Bars after seeing you on that horse Jack :-D Always wondered what the Milky Bar Kid did when he grew up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It is a bit unfair that you have added an additional voting option after 20 votes have already been cast. If you want people to take this as a serious and credible pole, then you need to discount all votes and start again. :goodidea: ?

Rick W Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thats the thing with WW2 trucks, they are full of life! :-D Although I did find 2 very dead mice in the Morris engine when we took it apart, still wonder how they got in there...

Tony B Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 don't count unless you paint it green Yep, just put fresh summer grass in front end' or as also describes them, fivers in one end **** out the other. There even more expensive then MV's. Whilst we are on organic fertilisers, Jasper mascklyne and his team overcame a shortage of desert sand paint in WW2 by using spoilt branston pickle and camel **** Incedentally Grey cavalry horse were washed in Iodine solution to darken them, also military mules were Hobday'ed, an operation named after Hobday a famous vet, this involves splitting the throat to remove the vocal cords, still used to cure roarers and whistlers.
