Re: Bristol Armoured Division
So there I was driving home from todays meet, and I kept thinking, blimey, a lot of people have lit their log fires out in the sticks tonight? I kept pressing aircon buttons, recirculating air buttons, fan buttons, and turning up fan speeds etc. I did this for about 30 miles, wondering why I couldn't get rid of the burning smell, and then it dawned on me, the smell wasn't outside of the car, it was in it. That Tarr smoker in the battlefield building with the burning timber scent?? It was on all of my scenery, me and the tanks!

You only have yourself to blame. If you hadn't lent me your supercharged battery, there would not have been so much smokewibblywobbly wrote:So there I was driving home from todays meet, and I kept thinking, blimey, a lot of people have lit their log fires out in the sticks tonight?

If an excuse for another visit to Bovington is needed, this has to be it. http://www.tankmuseum.org/year-news/bovnews53673

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
We should be able to get into Bovvy for free if Andy hasn't thrown the tickets away?
I'll be there on 20th, I just hope that I have moved by then, I am all packed and don't even have a confirmed date yet

. The admission ticket is valid for free return visits as many times as you like within 12 months, special events excepted, so if the new display goes up in April 2017 we will get free access.
