The Truck That Never Moves....

Thought I'd bung some pics back up of my old green and black
heap of crap aka 'The Truck That Never Moves' (it's an ORRP
thing...)

Suppose I should fill in a bit of detail about it...
1983 SIII Lightweight 12v GS, started out at RAF Finningley
(probably just as a run about) and then saw its time out at RAF
Sealand as a Glider Tug. Cast in 1996 and I bought it in 1999.
Other than general maintenance and the odd repaint or two it's
pretty much untouched since I bought it, stands outside 365 days
of the year.
Currently fitted out as a Manpack equipped GS truck with a 352
radio in it.

Cheers peeps! I'll have to confess, the photos are all from a
couple of years ago and it's current state is slightly more
scruffy with a knacked tilt, paint flaking off and the likes. I
haven't driven it since August last year though I did go out and
start it up last weekend (wasn't keen but went eventually) and
all still seems to work okay. Just need to get out and have a
run in it sometime soon now...
