ArtistsRifles Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Looks like I'll have pretty crap journey on Friday inc a lumpy crossing! Should be there around 19.30. Just need to cure my oil pump leak and retune the engine in the 101 first, nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Neil, I got your night vision stuff off Robin. Ended up with a shopping list off a couple of the lads at the Curragh show as well (inc a pre 79 109 FFR if anyone has one for sale!) Thanks Sean!! How much do I need to hand over to you for this?? I've got Robins OT aerial here for him - will put it in the car with the rest of the kit on Friday. Funny you should mention a pre-79 FFR - I was thinking of selling mine, an early '74 Series 3 model (55 FM 58). Apparently one of the first series 3's into service so I've been told.

sean101ryan Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 That's between you and Robin, no mention of dosh, I'm just taking an aerial back! I'll chat to you about the 109. Hoping to get one locally but they have funny ideas about value here, looked at a messed around late 70s GS that was claimed to be Irish army but blatently messed up British and they wanted 3k for it!! Yard in Belfast has several dooer uppers for £6-800. Sorry, probably should be a private conversation elsewhere but all offers of 109 FFRs for realistic prices will be discussed over a beer or two! Guy who wants it is selling his DAF YA 126 and I've covinced him he needs an FFR! He is a serious enthusiast (hobby is researching and publishing about Irish solldiers killed in WW1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markheliops Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Weather update. No Rain. Here's hoping. Hi Cripp - Where are you getting your weather reports mate? I use Gov Met (as used by pilots) so pretty reliable. It says it's going to chuck it down Wed, Thur, Fri. We shall see - but I suggest you bring your wellies.

ArtistsRifles Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 thats what it says on your can mate in the back, i only read what it says? Weird!! Then that is possibly what is in every hydraulic system on th vehicle. Unless the yellow "Tellus" container actually was ISO-10. Think RR dumped that one so no way of knowing...... I seem to recall it was like smelly water.... :??? :??? :??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lardrover Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Don't suppose there is anyone going down from Yorkshire anytime after work on Friday, back before Monday morning Will contribute costs etc. Can lend some GPMG's for a display if it helps.
