Mondays are always busy. Especially when you have a bunch of luvvies on site. Pleased with the latest vehicles. If they are the latest we are so short of haulage firms the Mod are giving me grief about not clearing what we have bought.
This was James’s stag day. What I liked most about James and his group was they were actually sober and could understand most of what I said! ![]()
Dangerous Brian was actually a good driver. It was nice that James didn’t drive off at the end forgetting his soon to be father in law, how could I have done that to mine in France on my stag day- whoopsie. I’m still not forgiven now 😂😂
A few random clips from the September 11th twin half day. Regretfully I was to busy to film Danny our new armourer doing his chat but I heard lots of good things or even get a few clips from the Springer and snatch landrover stand.![]()
Cheers instructors for making it special and a thank you to the customers for trying so hard and keeping it safe.![]()
Never used snatch armoured landrovers before it was a special experimental free bee, seems to go down very well.
A busy day preparing for our half day, we were fully booked till June 2022 and have been for months then yesterday day some people postponed. Do they not realise if we don’t run full we loose money every last minute cancellation costs us £300.![]()
Lots of progress on the jetski trailer. And Joe swapped the starter on the 65 mile cvrt sultan ( twice ) for reconditioned ones till it ran like a dream our electrical reconditioner needs to try a little harder.![]()
We have decided to add snatch landrovers on the menu as a free extra tomorrow.Am I getting soft in my old age.
Pleasantly surprised to get a sultan with just 65 miles on it, you don’t get newer than that.![]()
More cobbling and Kate shows off on a jetski.
Getting our centurion gun tank ready to sell. We will be getting a poorly chieftain in the deal. The new boy Mel is a chieftain magician, been on site a few weeks now and hasn’t touched one yet. It will soon be his time to shine and wear red pants on top of his trousers.
Had never driven a lightweight Pinzgauer. Only used it to reverse a Sankey trailer through the workshop. I was so impressed I have actually made a start on it. MOT first then registration and a full respray.![]()
Good news on the leopard 432 the torsion bar is fine.
Just flicking through the TV and there’s good old Nick Mead on (Quest Tv) Find it, Fix it Flog it lol. They’ve taken a deuce and a half, a Russian shell rack, a First gen night vision periscope and an old chair frame. He gets about a bit don’t he lol
Big thanks to all the instructors, office Vanessa,who I can’t believe kept the booking in bang on after eighteen months of cancellations and multiple rebooking and all our side shows.![]()
Well done Caitlin for winning the crush, three other people got maximum score on the driving but Caitlin beat them with the clay shooting.
Well all the hard work from my team payed off and with surprisingly few breakdowns, I mean the vehicles. It all went well. Lots of smiles and fun experiences all round. Guess what another girl WON. ![]()
We had four people get the perfect score of 40 on the driving so we had to add the clay shooting scores and guess what young Caitlin not only had the perfect driving score she had shot more clays than anyone else, a real life Annie Oakley. ..? Well do a google if you don’t know who she is.
We are all knackered , been flat out getting ready for the August full Monty wow it’s been a while since we have done one. Been fully booked for the whole year for months. Would you believe we had people postponing yesterday because they were going to a wedding and couldn’t make it. We stopped cancellation charges because of covid, big mistake.![]()
I think we’re ready, the place is looking good.
Kats 50th won’t be forgotten quickly. Thanks Paul for picking tanksalot as a place to celebrate it. Really nice for Kate and I to be working together again.![]()
Good driving all round. well done girl power team.![]()
Really sad to see that lovely old rover destroyed, I always liked them.
Full steam ahead on getting ready for the full Monty next Saturday. It’s been a while.
More of the Same and a couple more 432s to strip for Saudi. Lots of new vehicles coming in we plan to hit 300 for the first time ever before we start hard selling.
Buy military blind but never buy civi plant blind. Some nice Pinzgauers came today,on the button surprisingly.![]()
Two huge vans full of Humvee parts came today that I’m selling for a friend, grab some bits quick. Most of it came of the film set black hawk down.![]()
Fancy a Humvee drivers seat for your man cave.
Just been sent a link to the Billie Martin pop movie we did in London a few months ago. We filmed till 3 am in the morning. Check her out we were impressed. youtu.be/WbvmdryXkAw
Just got my hands clean playing on the beach and I used black mastic all day today. If only I was still making sausages.
The Saudi line up that wouldent load in darkest Norfolk. Now they want another two.![]()
We’re pooped already.
Well the tanks for Saudi are done and so are we. Truly pooped, forgetting all sorts and ready for a weekend of with Kate and junior.
Finished the last of the first 8 vehicles destined for fun times in Saudi Arabia today, just a few Identification numbers still to stick on the sides for customs.![]()
Another three wolf landrovers all on the button out of a right mish mash of non runners, how do I do it.
Showing my boy the ropes today! All starts with replying to emails and messages….
Said goodbye to Mr y my favourite champ, never sold two champs in one week before the green one went to.![]()
Just the dodge command car, and then the hot rod Willis to go and clear all the cars.![]()
Tanks and more tanks is the way forward.
