Hi Charles,

I'm in Thetford, Norfolk with a half share of a 131 tanker (hopefully will be a Grad launcher one day!) and use of another 131 tanker.

Working my way up to a BTR-70.

cheers
Karl.

Thanks Charles

cheers

Hi All

Sorry for the long time between updates, however I have now added as best I can everyone to the member map. For some people the information I have is very sparse, so a bit a guesswork has occurred. Therefore, if your maker is in the wrong place or the wrong colour please let me know.

Cheers

Charles.

Hi all,

Just a quick introduction,

I'm Andy, a photographer based in the west country. I am looking for my first 'big' off roader though I am used to large vehicles having had a 29foot tri-axle van for many years.

I look forward to hearing the 'truths' of owning some of these larger trucks as I will be making a decision soon and hope to purchase before the summer.

cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy where in the west country are you, your welcome to come to Bath to have a drive in my Ural, it will show you the superiority of Ural's over Zil's :D

Anyway your welcome to pop up and I'm sure James would let you look over his Gaz although its off the road having its engine overhauled.

I'm near Weston, you know the place... that muddy old peoples home near the sea!!

Is your truck the one that was at the heledays last year?

I am still sizing up my options for what to get... lots of factors involved not least cost! but I know it won't be a 101 landy!!!

Welcome to the madhouse Andy - You will get plenty of 'truths' here just dont be persuaded the Ural 4320 is the king of the road that some nutter would let you believe :wink:

Ural's are the best sensible vehicle for poping out for that pint of milk but if you really want to impress get a dt-30 vitaz

Andy, not sure if the email system is working on the site but you can contact me at [email protected] if you want to come for a drive.

Welcome

Hi andy nice to have you on board.

I see Simon has already started to bang on about how great his URAL is! Well its certainly BIG and has the worlds most stupid gearbox! What you really want is a GAZ 66, a much nicer truck! :lol:

Your more than welcome to have a look at mine if your ever near Bath.
GAZ 66 Rules! (sorry everyone! Ha! Ha!)
