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...
Grand prix driving skills
Customers Grand Prix Driving Skills We had a couple up who seemed rather keen drove the 432’s the grozdilkas and then did a crush We generally don’t drive terribly fast in the tanks ourselves or encourage others to for safety reasons but occasionally we get...

Messing about with pinzgauers we only test drove the wrong one. More work on the custom 432 and the Saber for man sized drivers.
250 vehicles to play with in the snow guess what Kate chose.
Your welcome to use my rope trick but you have to send me a pound every time it does you a favour.
My big red thingy is ready for action. The sabre is getting prepared for a man sized driver.
An interesting day adapting a sabre driver hatch for a big American, I’m guessing he will appreciate a folding cvrt stormer copy step on the front
Anyone know much about Ural motorbikes. The red thing breaths.
Another flat out day grovelling in a world of rain and filth.
Check out some of Kates guns that will be appearing for sale on the Tanks a lot ltd website, In a few days. She’s always wanted to be an arms dealer. Deactivated and antiques obsolete calibers at the moment then section 5 licence and full on machine guns she keeps telling me.
We’re missing being chased by the army around Salisbury plain and their village they have there. Covid has a lot to answer for.
The Cadillac got a bit of a birthday, before I channelled my efforts in to a much more serious project.
He who Dares wins Rodders. You take a risk on a spares or Repaires golf buggy with supposed vermin nibbling, looked more like someone with snipers had cut the Loome. Any way check out the beasts progress and Kates face.
Another Englishman’s Humvee about to go on the website. I must apologise for roberts idea of the bogie challenge at the end.
Rather a lot of ferreting today. Finally had a go at the 32 miles twenty five year sleeper today the points needed a good file. Got it running beautifully then lost all power to points ?
Some improvement on the misfire ferret that’s looking like points to they were awful. Ordered new but ran a file across them to prove a point.
Merlin’s 432 drove beautifully and Kate’s Golf buggy is in the line.
Still chasing the misfire on the ferret, The next snatch landrover is coming along well, should be three coloured camouflage by the end of the week
Progress on the custom 432 should be driving it tomorrow, the packs back in but it need all connecting up. Biscuits was rather aggressive to Nigels new covid suit, can’t understand why.
I know your page is all about tanks, and i also know that the tank pictures i shared isn't the real thing but its as close to real as i could get. This is my Franklin Mint Sherman Tank. Being a Military Child I've always had a love for tanks specifically the Sherman as I am a military history buff as well, and to me the Sherman has quite a history of its own. I hope you like the pics. Sincerely Jim.
My camera girl needs sacking or a spanking.
The ferret starts to run real ruff after about 5 minutes what do you reckon chaps fuel or coil ?
On the plus side the gearbox changes nicely and steering and brakes are nice.
A very productive day despite the temperature in or out of the Afghan workshops. My amazing polish wellies made from the croc foam material are truly a god send £11 and so far better than all these neoprene ones costing ten times as much.
Ferrets nearly finished I’m taking Kate out for a ride in it tomorrow. And some tidy fiberglassing on her golf buggy Rottweiler feeder.
A surprise late Christmas present for my little wife. And a bit of ferret footage, think it’s out of the Afghan workshops tomorrow for a test run then it’s ready for sale. Some interest already from people who have been watching its restoration on here but no holding deposit yet so treat yourself using the excuse it’s the best investment you will ever make.
Another session dragging project tanks off lorries, pretty knackering. Now it’s time to find a chieftain engine and gearbox.
Sure we’ve seen her somewhere before. Spicy little number, that’s the Abbott obviously 😉

On a startling new episode of Rainbow Woman, Geri Horner (Halliwell) lets off some steam by taking a monstrous military tank for a drive. Stumbling through a...Happy new year to all at Tanks a lot, and here’s to 2021 and the birth of baby boy.
A very special day. We decided on letting a Gruffaloe do our gender reveal, Kate only has four months to find the right coloured booties for our bab. On eBay.
Ruben bought his Dad over to treat him to a late pressie in the form of a snatch. I think they came for a green one but ended up leaving a deposit on a three colour Englishman’s Humvee.
Without a doubt the most popular colour scheme with our buyers.
Have to love a throw back- one of thee best boxing days ever! This year was just as good unmasking a ferret although some might not agree with that 😂😂
Teaching spam head to find clays. Must be possible if a pig can find truffles. And just a bit more playing on the ferret, on orders from Kate.
Where did you find your woman at 7.30am Christmas Day morning. Mine was ferreting in the cold.
Couldn’t wait to stick my present on the wall. I love eBay.
The result of our first ever H licence tests in the New TRATOR. we got there in the end. See you can please all of the people all of the time.
Kate’s pleased to its the beginning of her new gun business, I always thought she looked like an arms dealer, a few legs but mostly arms.
