About cream crackers, almost cattle trucked. A warm day for sand blasting but lots of progress. Everyone worked very hard including our first ever volunteer. Cheers Martin your help was appreciated.![]()
The only fun part was buying another two good 432s and a very tidy T 55 Kate will be pleased they are her most favourite drive.
Really good to do a kids party with my beautiful little wife. With Covid and baby Jackson coming along it’s been a while. Thank goodness for babysitters.![]()
Good driving Seb, thanks for the pizza,hope you like this movie. Happy birthday.
The first 432 for the Saudi Arabia job is close to being finished, few more vehicles arrived today which proved a bit of challenge unloading.![]()
Where can I buy remanufactured Rarden cannon troughs for the new Cvrt Scimiter.
Another busy day, tested yesterday’s new 432 with some lumber jacking and learned not to leave the Tanks a lot cheque book in Roberts control when he’s dealing with a top class sales lady.![]()
Bit more on the snipe.![]()
I also have this feeling the Etype won’t be long coming back with its posh new aluminium radiator .

Finally got the first coat of paint on the snipe, then a long afternoon instructing with some rather compedertive brothers. Well done lads hurry back anytime. 150 days in Saudi Arabia is sinking in AAAAGGG. The contract is signed on the first sixty days the add on is still to be negotiated and needs a careful think about.
I love it when new vehicles arrive, and lots are coming. Some for the Saudi Arabia adventure which has now changed to 150 nights instead of 60. And a few vehicles just because they will be great for our UK customers to drive.![]()
Tv company has approached us again about a tv series or an hour documentary about the adventure.![]()
I really think people should lower their expectations before I start wearing red underpants on the outside of my trousers.
A fun birthday for my old mate Jimbo’s eldest Louis. A good excuse to get the posh stolly out and blow the cobwebs out of the T55. Bonus was they could shoot.![]()
Christian a fully trained up Man HX and Foden drops ex squaddie paid a visit and got roped in. Maybe next time we will use the drops 8x8’s .
Today was a day of head scratching and geometry, or what I call suck it and see. Luckily every thing turned out great and only one finger was needed by Joe 1.![]()
Tomorrow is going to be a day of fun, a burn up in a T55 and our exceptionally tidy stalwart full swimmer. Planning on giving a Foden 8x8 drops lorry a good blast off road to if It doesent rain. Watch this space.![]()
Jackson’s walking at seven weeks, making me proud.
There’s been quite a lot of progress in the restoration of this Tiger tank in the Australian Armour museum in Cairns.. www.facebook.com/550740451628887/posts/4099330750103155/
Got play with the new yellow thing, got free socks. Sold a Pinzgauer bought lots to take to Saudie Arabia.
I need a helicopter, not a flyer a nice static for display, something military or that would look military with a coat of camo.
Yesterday was a stag day for criss and all of his mates and Dad of course, I’m glad Dad came because he likes helecopters. Now I like helecopters ![]()
So does Robert,Charlie and Nigel like helicopters.![]()

The next few months are going to be a killer, but absolutely worth it. Saudi is an amazing opportunity for Tanks a lot…. So we needed the calm before the storm, our first night out in 18 months and it was a great night!! ![]()
Probably be another 18 months before the next one but that will be worth the wait too! ![]()
Now we are off to get Jackson! Happy Sunday everyone 🥰
Thanks for a great day today Nick, Nigel and team, loved it all. I know everyone in our group enjoyed it. Because they are still bloody talking about it. 👍👍

Steaming along on the snipe, small annoying mole distraction and another couple of car crushes.![]()
We need lots of old cars, we collect, we pay over scrap prices. Your car will be famous for ever.
It’s been all of a week since you saw Jackson, you must be missing his cute face 😊, well… here he is, the first smile… heart melting 🥰
Sometimes you have to just down tools and have a little play. ![]()

Lots of snipe progress and the monster Saracen front end plates come Friday. Hands up whe thinks a Saracen should have been 4 foot longer with double the power.
In with the old and out with the new, yes you read it right. As much as I love my Bentley that hand stitched cream leather interior is not what a scruffy oiled handed chap like me should ever be allowed to even sit in. An Aston V8 with a black interior is a lot more me as a Sunday drive.![]()
Snipe is steaming along, very happy with the twin exhaust silencers. And I changed another Nappy today. I can’t believe a baby needs changing more than once a week, what Evers wrong with Jackson Horatio
A great Father’s Day. All my sons here at once. Roast beef and homemade lemon meringue pie some fun people up tank driving and shooting a few clays. ![]()
Cheers guys for driving well luckily everyone scored exactly the same on the shooting and Oliver did a great crush on the Bmw M.
Like father, like son 🥰 it’s a hard life all this eating they both do 😂 sends them off to sleep every time! Peace and quiet… for about 10 minutes. ![]()
My little dream team ❤️❤️❤️
