Richard Farrant Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just passed Ashford Truckstop and a Foden DROPS was coming out heading for the M20...nothing unusual, except it was painted bright orange, with I think white wheels, and on trade plates. It had a large container body on board, sheeted with a stairs at one end, could have been a demountable grandstand maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Whilst on the way from Wartime in the Vale at Evesham to the Austin Gipsy rally in Burnham on sea when cruising down the M5 I stumbled across this Aktiv Snow Trac on the back of a trailer. Sorry about the poor quality but the windscreen was dirty and I was driving :undecided:. If this wasn't enough then when I got to Junction 21 of the M5 coming the opposite way was a Scout Car, Champ and Jeep which I persume had been to an armed forces day at Weston super-Mare. Were either of these anyone's on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 On the way home on the A1M I spotted a French Elan going south on the back of low loader I'm presuming that its from the recent auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosie Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I was on playground duty this morning around 10.15 when I heard a drone, I looked up and I am sure it was a C-47 flying past. I am not very good at knowing aircraft but it defo wasn't a B15 or B52. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Spotted YESTERDAY on A158, near Horncastle, my old Antar leaves for Qatar in the middle East. Road jorney to Southampton to meet the ship taking her to Qatar, to join the national Museum, and to take part in the National Day Parade on 18th Dec. Changes in legislation, fuel duty, proposed MOT testing, have all lead me to believe rallying in the UK is doomed. In Qatar Diesel is cheaper than water, (I believe 18p per litre) If that were the case here maybe someone would have been able to afford to run her in this country.) I feel there is a far better chance of the Antar being appreciated in Qatar than in the UK where everything is stacked up aginst its operation. A sad day for me, but at least I have money in the bank, rather than an Antar Legislated off the road, and parked in a shed as a useless lump of iron, the vi9ctim of European legislation.....

fesm_ndt Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Seen in Malaysia This to me is an odd find.... [ATTACH]31824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]31823[/ATTACH] As far as I know the Malaysian Army recently bought Vamtacs. This dont look like a Vamtac, unless it is a different variant and why it is rigged up in desert colours is again odd but its got Army plates. Possibly a trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
