Thanks Richard - (and thanks for the photos re the vehicle run!) The jeep is still sporting the sun-compass you found for it years ago. BTW - I've seen a photo of an SAS/LRDG jeep at Corowa a couple of years ago fitted with Vickers K machine guns. While I'm aware of the legal responsibilities and registration requirements of displaying and storing these sorts of things in Australia - does anyone know of the path you would take to legally obtain deactivated or replica Vickers K's here? Cheers Warren.

Hi Warren,

The jeep would fit just fine in the back of the C60X for its trip to Corowa next year

Now there's an idea! Will you be here for Corowa next year?

Thanks for posting the photos of the "Chook Shed" where you stored your Jeep it does not any worse for wear or showing any deteriation after a long time in storage.

Yes mate brakes are a problem, when I purched my Jeep for restoration it had been stored on a farm for 15 years and the brakes were non existant and I had to use a hammer to loosen the linings from the drum. I paid top dollar for a complete new brake system and it is well worth it.

I look forward to seeing you and your Jeep in Corowa next year, unfortunately I could not make it this year as restoration was not yet finalised. Good luck it is a great hobby.

Cheers

Tony

Warren and Tony,
You don't need a vehicle to enjoy the Corowa Swim-In. We had plenty of entries from people without vehicles this year. Everyone had a great time. So, if your vehicle is not finished, come anyway and have fun.

You are 100% right, I did seriously consider going without the vehicle and I know I should have gone even though I don't know many people and am new to restoration of military vehicles. 2012 I will be there for sure, I have already bought the tent.

Cheers
