John Blackman Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 How is this for blatant advertising...... the easiest way for you to subscribe to CMV is to go to the website at http://www.cmvmag.co.uk (which is even linked from the the HMVF home page) and click on the 'subscribe' menu. For £51.72 (strange amount, but there you are) you'll get 12 issues delivered to your door. Fyi, we've an M7 Priest profile coming up in a couple of issues - that's just between me and you. Best wishes John Blackman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naruto Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi all, I have joined the forum found our own webpage on the internet. Saw also the screaming ducks banner. Joris we had a great time in Hemmen, good memories! The site is updated, it is now in english and we are working on the Priest again, so more updates are coming! http://www.priestm7b1.nl/ Greetz Ivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Ivo, Good to hear you enjoyed Hemmen, we have a big event planned in 2010, in Wijk bij Duurstede. Perhaps you and your club will be able to be there? I've been following your site for ages now, it's great that you are able to restore WWII armor and a Priest will be a great thing to see in real life! Now I'll go and look at your site again!

Naruto Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Joris, That sound great! We're currently trying to get the Priest running again. We only focus on the running gear for now (bogie wheels, tracks, drivetrain and engine). It's still a lot but not as much as a the little details. Our idea is to get it running in january. So I think we will be present with our Priest in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Great, I'll consider you booked in then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
