Wor daughter bought our 4th "G" Wagen this morning

[difflock]

Being a 1988 LWB, re-engined with a OM605 equipped with a 7.5mm Dieselmekkan IP and a 6 speed gearbox, running oversized BF Goodrich MT's on a 30 or 40mm suspension lift, and driving like an absolute dream.?

Best of all, it has the ultra-rare PTO off the transfer box, which I shall swop over to the 290GD Steyr Puch Kastenwagen(German for Box Van) to drive a hydraulic pump, with associated oil resovoir and cooler, primarily to drive hydraulic winch(s)☺️

I will probably also get the 290GD re-mapped to about 150BHP, with a more than commensurate torque increase?

And she is already booked in for a full body re-spray in Jan.

I obviously intend to attend the 2020 APF in the re-sprayed and tricked-out Kastenwagen, simply to make the rest o you poor saps drool with envy ?

Does this make me a bad person?

Ah knew some bugger would start asking akward questions,

I had a camera, but did not take any images, mostly because it  looks pretty shite in its somewhat poorly black paintwork esp in the dull winter light.

cheers

But ah haint toltd you yet, about finding, on Wed a fortnight ago,  my Grandfathers UVF .303 Long Lee Enfield, manufactured in 1898, complete with matching 1898 bayonet, both in pristine condition, bar a smidgen of surface rust to the barrel. The action is bright shiny and slick, slick slick.

And, lo and behold, when I declared my find to the local FO, the very same afternoon, she was most helpful, and simply stated I would have no problem getting it registered to my FAC, with ammunition, to shoot on Club and MOD ranges.

Currently left with a local RFD who will sort out the paperwork(on-line) for me next week.

Wanna know the biggest irony?

There will be less fuss and bother putting a previously unregistered .303 rifle,

than putting on the air rifle I have bought out of England, for sporting purposes and vermin control(btw. it is being shipped by the English RFD, to the same local RFD who is holding my grandfathers rifle)

Strange or what?

Cheers,

Marcus, the rather pleased Hat

No, it makes you a person with impeccable taste.
