  1. I bloody wish:( I used to get stuck with the GPMG or (if I'd been a real naughty boy) the Charlie G - it was one of the reasons I decided that sneaking about with just a rifle playing Davey Crockett was a much more sensible option - less ammo to carry (and therefore land with) :d Did loading trials once - full combat lad (as per the pussers manual) was way over 300lb - physically impossible to load everything let alone carry it.
  2. Used to do a fair bit - wearing green pyjamas and carrying lots of stuff too :) (too old now ) Don't belive what they say - it's only the last couple of feet that hurt!! LOL

    more speed!

    Turbo conversion (N/A-T) is your best bet for more HP/Speed Have a read here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=111026
  4. Short answer = yes:Pling: Drain the oil first then remove the bolt to drill etc.
  5. ....or try these guys :) LOL http://www.milweb.net/go/select/index.html
  6. Not quite a tank but should tick all the boxes anyway;- big high driving position safe (just bully your way through) 4 X 4 room for the kids and all their crap you 'have' to take nice big off-road wheels :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Military-Vehicle-Saviem-Troop-Carrier_W0QQitemZ140118098036QQihZ004QQcategoryZ122307QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  7. LOL - sports cars are designed to be driven swiftly and handle well (and make the owner look better too ) - 4X4s are supposed to be out on farms lugging livestock and shit around plus the occasional trip to market. NOT so that some plonker can clog up the roads wrecking anything they hit (using their obligatory 'bull bars') because of their poor driving! If you truly want to feel safe whilst driving buy a friggin tank
  8. That's only just started:Pling:
  9. Supras/sports cars are at least usually used for what they are designed for. Most of these tractor things never get to see any off-road unless they miss the curb!
  10. I love some of their attitudes! Talk about compensation LOL
  11. Anyone else watching this - 4X4 (Chelsea tractors) getting a bit of a battering :D
  12. Now I'm really confused:blink: Hubcentric spacers are simply spacers that are designed to fit perfectly snugly around the raised central part of the hub to keep the wheel perfectly centred - nothing to do with splitting hubs etc:Pling: Like this:- the raised bit matches the shape of the actual hub itself You can see how the hub fits into the exact centre of the spacer thus ensuring it mounts exactly central to the hub
  13. PS. If you use bolt-ons for a spacer that's only 15-20mm thick you will need to cut down the original studs and you will have very little material thickness to support the studs in the spacers - personally I'd go for the extended stud option. H&R do either
  14. Why bolt-on specifically? Anyway, these guys are the kiddies :) http://www.srbpower.com/hr/spacers.php

    Surf cars!

    Mitsubishi 'Animal' Toyota 'Surf'
  19. Try to keep your knees in natural alignment i.e. in a direct line with your hip joints, ankle joints and centre line of the foot. When doing stuff like golf, squash, football etc. there is a lot of (unwanted) rotation around the knee joint and even some lateral/medial flexion - all of which destabilises the knee joint!! Things like cycling can improve the damage by strengthening the ligament capsule surrounding the knee - if done with the correct alignment!! Other movements to avoid are any which place your knees 'outside' your hips and ankles (think of cycling with your knees sticking out to the sides!!), sitting cross-legged, walking with your toes pointing outwards (instead of straight ahead), standing 'hip-shot' (all your weight on one foot and hip to one side) and sitting with your feet up and the back of the knees unsupported - all of these activities can produce unwanted stress and strain on the knee joint. If you imagine your leg to be like two bits of wood with a metal hinge in the middle that only operates in one 'line', then consider the effects on this hinge if you continually twist it, unevenly load it etc. over a period of time - you will get uneven wear!! The clicking that you can hear is most likely slightly loose tendons and ligaments snapping back into place as you apply pressure to them - the real worry is when your knees ache in cold weather and if you kneel down and slowly rock backwards and forwards they creak like old floor boards!! :)
  20. Demon Tweeks or Paul Wiffin are probably your best bet. Alternatively use one from a Celica (that;s what I used) - you lose the airbag anyway and you may well need to bodge up a push button for the horn (mine was on the lower part of the dash just above the trac control/spoiler buttons)
  21. I'll happily do a job swap with you for a couple of months:d
  22. Hey:Pling: It wasn't a 'classic' when I bought it - just an old car:D Also had a Rover 110 (with running boards) several Spitfires, a brace of Sunbeam Alpines, A Rapier, Rover 3.5 Coupe, Vaxhaull Magnum and a few other 'classics'
  23. ................and writing Xmas letters to Satan:D
