Brooky Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just thoght I'd introduce myself. Been looking at HMVF for some time and thought it was about ime I put my two pennorth in. Been around preserved vehicles for more years than I care to mention!! Have owned (amongst others) GMC with workshop body, Morris MRA1, Bedford MW, Leyland Hippo, Morris Commercial CS8, Scammell Explorer, Bedford O Type, also used Austin K9's Bedford QL's and Commer Cab Fords for work. Present wheels are a series 1 Land Rover long wheelbase Station Wagon. To earn an honest bob I am involved with LGV driver training, and operational support to the logistics industry so if I can help with driver licencing and vehicle testing plating etc give me a call!!

Snapper Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hello Brooky and welcome to the Friendly Forum from the Politburo of Moderators. I hope you get as much pleasure out of HMVF as many of us do. Some are here for punishment and others are here because they think we have a troupe of Dancing Girls. It's a bit like It Ain't Half 'Ot Mum, but without the heat and various other things. Our founder and leader, who knows a plank when HE sees one, is off stitching together a few old tents somewhere on the Jurassic Coast. We all know a fossil when WE see one. Let's see if he bites.

Tony B Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I had heard the man with the plank had bought a dog with orange eyebrows to set loose on the forum troublemakers. :-D Saves his teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritineye Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 You could go to your profile page and create a personal album with all your pix in it, alternatively you could post into the relevant British vehicles or Transporters and wreckers sections. look forward to seeing 'em.
