Yes, very good turn out for a new show, held at a touring caravan park so superb permanent facilities and a great setting in the Conwy valley overlooking the river.The owner of the site owns a number of vehicles and has also set up a demo area, hopefully will get some pics of this later today and post tonight.

Degsy Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just returned from another superb day at the show. Although heavy showers were expected it has been hot and sunny until the show closed. It is now p---ing down.:-D Missed most of the battle due to the announced timings being wrong but the bit I saw was good but coudn't get pics.:argh: Pic of a Champ that Clive may recognise, belongs to Dave from Wilmslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Pics of Tom Buckley with his 2 Matadors which still earn their keep as winching vehicles in Tom's crane hire business. Some of you may know of Tom, close to 80 years young still working full time in the business and one of the great characters of this world. Tom first used Matadors in the Army and has owned them pretty well ever since, what he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing.

Degsy Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 The Stolly, what's the tank for in the back? Thats the gas tank, as i said it has been converted to run on gas. Sorry I didn't caption the tank pic:embarrassed::-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the reply, Do you have much information on this? Would be interested to see if this was a viable way to run a military vehicle? E.g. how much money saving is to be had? - If its 3 MPG now, what was he getting before? Edited July 5, 2009 by JoelH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What is the box and hoses attached to the Volvo? Looks like a engine heating system for cold climates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably something similar in terms of MPG, Artists Rifles (Neil) would be better able to answer this but gas is more than 50% cheaper than petrol.

Degsy Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 What is the box and hoses attached to the Volvo? By the time I got to talk to the owner late yesterday evening I'd forgotten about that:embarrassed: but I think Richard is probably right:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
