Metal tracks on roads
Jeff well done at driving your carrier to the events. On the subject of metal tracks on roads I feel that if the authorities stop and think a wee bit they would realise that the carriers metal tracks do less harm on the road than any type of track with rubber pads. Metal will slide over the surface whereas rubber will try and grip the surface whilst it twists over it. Sure you may crush any loose bits of tarmac but that can only be a good thing anyway. Over here in Scotland we don't have a problem, mainly because our roads never heat up! and after all we invented Tarmacadam(Asphalt)!! Keep on sliding!

Have just watched the Normandy Anniversary on BBC TV from Arromanche(spelling?) and couldn't believe the commentator pointing out what he thought was a Bren Gun Carrier sitting on a modern LCT platform behind the dias when in fact it was a T16!! Wonder who owned that? Hanno you been buying something without telling us?
