GoranWC51 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Mick & Cara - Well done doesn't even start to describe the momentous task you've acomplished, converting a tired 'ol Jimmy into a slick Clubmobile. Keep it up! Goran Noren Sweden Ambulance - FEB, Brazilian Expeditionary Force Italy 1944-45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick.wilson Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 :shock: Wow, that is how to spend a weekend! There are some better photos of this event at this web site if you wish to have a look.

Jack Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 :shock: That really is a special weekend, did it get any TV airtime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick.wilson Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 :shock: That really is a special weekend, did it get any TV airtime? I don't thinks so ? not that many MOP's made you think you were in 1944, was very good when the air-raid sirens when off and a German bomber dropped a bomb on the school, everything from this quiet little village when haywire with Bofors firing and the fire engine flying off from the fire station, it was very realistic.

mick.wilson Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Still working away on the wagon, the weather is stopping me from putting the Clubmobile writing down the side and still no rear roof yet but will be tacking her to Horndean "Overlord Show",. Should be fun as Cara is driving the beast for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopnut Hi Shopnut, "how did you get so much done in so little time?" Cara made me work on it every day tell it was dark and with no days off (apart from a couple of holidays when I managed to slipped away :twisted: ) Your welcome to come and pick the rear doors up when ever you want to mate.

Enigma Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Did Patton put his boot up the A** es of the soldiers who didn't look correct? :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yup, on the spot fines, fizzer for me....no tie! but then the "Snowdrop" was out of order.. so he let it go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick.wilson Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Did Patton put his boot up the A** es of the soldiers who didn't look correct? :twisted: We have a photo of the original 514th being inspected and we don't look that different (just not black), we both have mixed up kit in the line up. At the end of the inspection the General said to me "I have never seen such a scruffy bunch of troops", I explained to him that the men had not slept in two or three days as the Red Ball was in full advance to catch up with his tanks. Was all good fun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
