I'm going to need the photo before the end of the month, so please e-mail it to me asap. The first good and usable picture that comes to me will win a 1/43 scale model van, and receive credit in the yearbook, which is due for distribution to all MMOC members next year.

classy prize - nice work

don't forget the bar of chocolate and the miniature of brandy

but i've already got one.....

Me too (2 actually), but I would not mind the real thing! :8

Me as well (loads, actually ), but as for the real ones - Ha! theyre only vans...

Darn - I was hoping for another one, but I can't find:

electrical tap

and as there's no brake fluid on the list I'm not sure I'd want to be credited. Also there's no spare spark plug or spare HT lead... (hmm -best I shut up and go to bed)
However if there's time left (probably not) I could get Eleanor to take the photo this weekend whilst I'm cursing the 54 in preparation for the blood-sweat-and-tears MOT failure next week.

What model is that? I may well have it - is it the Gaydon one?

While on models - Does any one know the cheapest source for the new Minichamps models? I'm wanting to get some for resale here in NZ? PM me if you can help.

All right mate.... you wanna fight.... you got one!! Fuel tanks at dawn.... first one to squeak loses

You're on - and don't forget your glove, you dropped it after slapping me with it...

first one to squeak loses

Shouldn't that be "leak" for a fuel tank?

I know - one of them has a hole in it where I went wrong with an angle grinder (no, I don't remember quite how I managed it either...)
We could have a 'who can weld it up best' competition to decide the argument, survivor wins... I'll go first, if you like

We could have a 'who can weld it up best' competition

But will it still have fuel in it

It would be less of a danger if it did - but that's beside the point, that was the joke!

Well I guess none of you are budding David Bailys as I haven't had a single entry. So I'm closing the competition and putting the vans in my model display case in my office (makes childish nah nah ne nah nah noises)

Well, we ARE, but some of us are rushing to get an MoT in time for the website rally otherwise we would oblige!

Ask the owners of the garage queens or the cars with sills to take some piccies!

Good job the photo shoot was rained off today then!!

Personaly, I never carry petrol in a can in a car. It will always leak no matter how good the can is and it can turn your car into a bomb in the event of an accident Better to pay up the 50 quid a year and be in a breakdown club. Anyway, it's always a good idea not to let the fuel tank get too low, especially on a long journey.

I've seen cars burst into flames when crashed and it's not a pretty site. For the same reason, I never drive along with the doors locked. It would be nice if all cars were diesel. I think if petrol were discovered today, it would be a banned substance.

Cheers, Clive.
