I will work on a plan. I think I may be able to do something from this end.

I'll try to ring you about it tomorrow.

and, I really don't think a permit to drive it will work. What if it breaks down? Who would feel bad? How would it be recovered? It would be back to square one but the vehicle on the side of the road for any mongrel to help themselves to it...

Don't worry - plenty of people on the forum here and in this thread will pay you. OUT! :twisted:

Probably towards the middle or end of June, Jim. I am waiting for one of two car trailers to turn up. (I have access to 2 trailers but they are both away at the moment). I put new tyres on the back of the Disco this morning for the trip... The old ones had only done 115,000k with me driving (don't know how new they were when I bought the car) so I am a bit annoyed... :)

The guy in the tyre shop was blowing them up and I said "38psi please".

"No", he says, "you should be running 50 in all 4".

"Hmmm, what a pity", I replied. "I only had 28 in the front and 38 in the back because that's what the owners manual says - and I only got 115,000 out of those back ones. Guess I made a mistake, huh? Now put 38 in them. You know I will only reset them when I get home."

He wasn't happy.

I hear ya brother, I hear ya... ;)

Thanks for the update, John.:D:D

Hey Jason, next weekend will be open day at Fort Scratchley and they will be firing the 6 inch guns. As you know, I served at the Fort before the Army moved out. Not on the big guns though, they were before my time.:D

I will take a couple of the grandkids up there as they have never been there before!!

I notice they have ex-military vehicles on display, should be some Landy's there I would imagine. The S2a was the vehicle then in use, when I was there in the late 60's. Also, I hope there will be Studebaker and GMC six wheel drive trucks that we used as gun towers. Would be good to see the old girls again.:D

Bet they don't have a 40mm Bofors Anti Aircraft gun there though, that's what I served on.;)

Here is a piccy of the gun firing.......
