Lord Burley Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Not 'spotted today', and this might not be in the right thread, but I saw this on another website for Hot Rods called 'Rods and Sods' it was in a thread on the Chelsea cruise. I imagine from the 1980's. Someone might recognise their jeep in the right side of the photo' Jeff I would suspect the Jeep was owned by a local resident. RR services were only just down the road during this period of time. At about that time. Jeeps,Champs and series Land Rovers were very popular with the "Chelseaset" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Saw a very nice looking Kuble this afternoon on the A44 heading into Chipping Norton (Oxon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rae Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Well last summer... Snapped by SWMBO in the centre of Plymouth (pretty common site there). Check out what's in the background - in SWMBO's opinion sums it all up rather nicely...:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthesnail96 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Quite often see something similar to that ( I know nothing about modern MVs so no idea what it is) trundling around Plymouth under it's own steam. Generally looks like they are just out for a play, only appears when the sun is out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They test drive the Jackals and Cougars (that's a Cougar) along the streets of Plymouth. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ...Is Plymouth really that rough :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rae Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ...Is Plymouth really that rough :wow: They (allegedly) only put the full weapons package on when test-driving at night. During the day, sidearms are usually sufficient. :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthesnail96 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) That would explain it- ta! Union street ain't *that* bad- mostly students and drunk kids these days. It is extremely grotty though! Edited March 5, 2010 by brianthesnail96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rae Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It was taken right at the end of Union St. outside the Union Rooms Pub.. I spend every July in Plymouth (and have done for several years) so i've got pretty accustomed to the 'Grottiness' of Union St. :cry: As I said the Coyotes and Jackals are built in the Devonport base so, logically, they take them out for road-testing in Plymouth. A few years ago I went on a tour of the base and noticed that another thing they do there is refurbishing trains. Fortunately they AREN'T test-driven on the streets...:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Saw one Challenger 2 on a low loader heading north on the M6 by junction 9 yesterday, just by Walsall. It was armed forces day at Walsall FC yesterday as well but I doubt it was heading to that even though they were playing Milwall!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just seen a Yellow DUKW on BBC news in London. It was in the background of an outdoor news report, and had been converted into a tour bus type thing. Anyone know anything about it?
