Hi Gordon,
blimy you have a good memory , that was Beltring a few years ago ( yes i do remember you ) may be catch you at Beltring this year ? I got the Daimler MK1 from down south . Although who owned it did move to your fine part of our Island. But im sure the car never went that far north or west to Wales. The man you need to email is a mate of mine called Singe Ager , have a look at his website http://daimler-fighting-vehicles.co.uk . It would be lovely to drive the carrier to the field it came from but it will be a tad to far for this stage of running. I am still in regular contact with the guys i got it off , keeping them posted on the progress.

Thanks Shaun
I'll give that site a look, ta.
It was good to meet everyone that once, since I haven't seen the other Sean, Hanno, you, and the like since then, and Geoff, of course, is sadly no longer around except in spirit. I'm sure that some time you are going to park it next to the hedge and do a 'before and after' but no rush. Still an amazing job.  Later - had a look at the site - looks like he has the Mk1 I got running again - fired him off an e-mail - result all round.

hi, will be over wednesday, aim for 09:30. Sasha is 4 and i am sure as he gets older he will carry on with the carrier hobby, but for now carriers are out of bounds for him, 'tank hunter' is named 'Alexander' after him.
Those waiting for downpipes, hope to finish them before Christmas!. see u wednesday, kev.
