Dougie Lampkin Rides His Bike Over Our Tanks
Dougie Lampkin Rides His Bike Over Our Tanks We had the chance to get involved in the Brackley Festival of Speed, all motorbikes, not really my thing. I’m more of a trials bike rider. The deal was – could we rattle a couple of tanks down the town so Dougie...
War & Peace Show Tank Limo
War & Peace Show Tank Limo 2006 The calendar looked pretty full and it didn’t look likely we could make the War and Peace show this year. Shame I thought sort of a tradition must be 10 or 12 years straight now. They cover some of my costs to get one or two main...

Movie 4.
More Ruby testing today with our super tough polycarbonate upgrades that are less than half the price of crappy mismatching coloured glass ones. Set of eight only £110.
Is bullet proof glass made from polycarbonate, only one way to find out.
Movie 3
How tough are are new polycarbonate ruby lenses. I’m thinking 12 bore shotgun tomorrow
In the meantime check out mine and Kate’s golf swing.
Movie 2.
Set of 8 Ruby’s £110 are they unbreakable, only a dozen ways to find out.
Maybe you can think of a test fit for our new poly carbonate lenses.
Unbreakable rubies, things of beauty £110 for a full vehicle set of 10. So cheap but so tough.
Movie 1 will they bust.
Decided on army Matt NATO green, but maybe next week a couple will end up BATUS. Anyone need big cans of freshly mixed NATO green that’s an etching primer as well let me know. It’s cheap sprays great, and not thin as piss.
Just sprayed my latest wolf green and light stone, not sure I like it, probably limit my customer base. Think it’s going green tomorrow.
I have five more coming next week should I spray a few camo. ?
Thought I ought to try and promote my new uncles TV series. Another good reason to marry my little beauty Kate Trotter. She told me for years Del Boy Trotter was her uncle so now he’s my uncle and it was great to have him up here.
Try and catch him driving fast and furious 6 tank over a car, it really got him buzzing.
The down side is I must also be related to Rodney.
Just had a Russian contact me about a T34 and a ww11 German tank he has found. I can have them real cheap. I’m very exited I’m sure it’s not a scam.
Had a Great visit the other day, took my old car for crushing and left with a little Gem! Max had fun in the workshop and the team are a great bunch. Looking for another excuse to visit. A Big thanks to Nick and the team for letting me save my new little runaround from the big crush. Best wishes.
A very smooth day tracking around London yesterday with Mr Pothole mark morrell,promoting National pothole day with our orange Grenade tank. A very worthwhile job but no chocolate bars.
Share this if your fed up of trying to dodge pot holes. Nick frost a local celebrity didn’t manage it we found him near Tanksalot with a busted wheel and split tyre on our return from London with the tank. Kate cracked her alloy on the same hole last week.
HEY HI guy's. Hope all is well 🙂.
Just watching London tonight.
And low and behold......
This lil beauty appears
Spent the day promoting National pothole day all over London with MR Pothole Mark Morrell, all sponsored by Ultra Crete.
Only to find Nick Frost the movie star 100 yards from Tanksalot with a busted alloy and split tyre fecking about in the mud and rain on a dangerous bend in the road. They put a crap yellow line around a huge pothole a few days back. Won’t be the only bust wheel tonight.
Nicks out today having fun with the one and only Mr Pothole
If you see him, take a piccy for us won’t you! 😊
Fast an furious, well I was when a bit fell off.
Message to all, if you post a picture of a man hanging upside down by his wedding tackle naked you get a 24 hour ban. Even though he was loving it and everyone thought it hilarious. I still have it on messenger where it’s welcomed if you fancy a new hobby.
Clever ones only, every one else scroll on.
Been asked to value and identify these two little Jem’s, First thee pictures are probably of a wartime Canadian truck, running but a bit lumpy from sitting.
The last picture is of some sort of antar not sure what engine, petrol or diesel parked in a running state twenty years ago.
The last picture make your own mind up.
Orange is the colour, looking forward to an anti pothole protest around London on Wednesday with Tod and MR POTHOLE himself Mark Morrell. Hitting all the posh parts. Funny really; only last week Kate had to have one of her Rangie alloys tig welded, wasn’t impressed bless her. We used polish Pete at cherwells Banbury one stop shopping for every thing motor car, especially Jaguar- he loves them, really hates even giving them back, bless.
No, your eyes didn’t deceive you, that really is Nick, in his onesie, with not 1 or 2 but FOUR green wing macaws Perched on him! The madness never ends at Tanks-a-lot 💁♀️😂
Cheers criss, very nice jacket and thanks for the money in pocket you really really shouldn’t of, how did you know I had a dollar account.
Hard not to get attached to an old Bessie like this after 12 years chugging around the farm but to be honest after it’s respray last year c/o Paul down the road it was a bit to posh as a spanner waggon come mole gasser.
Best it finds a new owner with a bit more tinker time. Good luck Ian, hit them lanes see you next year for the upgrade to a tank.
Took a deposit on my lightweight yesterday, so it looks like the new year will be starting off in the right way. Had it 12 years with no dramas. Ex military from the Hereford area,you never know.
Sold a few of our new super tough Hagglund sprockets. If the teeth on your sprockets are delaminating don’t bother trying to glue and screw them back on. But they still have a use.
Woof.
When I told Kate she would be shooting clays off the bow of a ship this Christmas I don’t think this was what she expected.
Lots of fun was had all round but on a more serious note the last time this old steamer heard gunfire was the Normandy invasion bloody wow.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you wonderful people. We’ve had an amazing year and it’s our first Christmas as husband and wife.
Have the best Christmas ever.
Lots of love the Mead’s xxxx
Christmas is a time for tidying up your old motor, buy way of getting it crushed by our favourite tank. We will be collecting over the Holliday period and we are still paying over twice their scrap value. Many thanks for these two beauties, cheers lads.
Looks like the Drive Tribe jobbie we did with jeep has been aired so can’t see any reason why you can’t see my movie with the out takes. If your thinking of buying one of these jeeps you could do a lot worse, I love the way the whole top comes off even the doors for summer days. Yankee motors are usually cleverly designed to speed up assembly buy this is clever for the customer to.
Ps did I say it was a tank.
A mixed day to day, Tods on H licences so happy Tankers can have a Christmas tank drive legally. And I’m bombed out of my head on evo stick sorting the Party tank interior.
We need more cars for crushing guys an girls.
It really doesn’t matter how small you are (if you’re like Joshua and I we are only 4ft nothing) doesn’t even matter if you’ve never shot before, Nick is the best teacher ever!! We don’t just play with tanks all day y’know!!
A fun corporate day with WD40 good driving all round and an excellent car crush at the end by Kal.
Be great to see them again in the summer with clay shooting as well rather a competitive bunch.
