And paying with cash won't necessarily help that much. My main supplier is chill. I don't aspire to be a conventional CEO ultimately. chadders, johngarty and davocano 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just hop on another thread more to your liking? 🙄 Try reading them properly. Also allow for the deleted posts, the shameful egging on, total disregard for all the people trying to help/offer advice....random passive/aggressive discourse - 'Posting a fucking hit list of everybody who had disagreed with you, why the fuck you haven't been banned or put on pre-mod god only knows.' Hardly negative or disrespectful - and if it is, what's it to do with you? Professionally offended/enabler? Why don't you follow your own advice and hop off.

Again, nope, not guilty. Not joined anyone, not ignored the hit lists and vieled threats, the random outbursts. Want to see an actual thread purporting to be what it said it (was)? Most definitely. Love a Stolly, actually been in one once, and all too briefly. You don't get to spout random crap at people looking for a reaction, posting veiled threats involving firearms without a reaction.

Heidel_Kakao Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just to clarify it was not a hit list. It was a joke enemies list a la Richard Nixon of all the people who have doubted me and as a result will not be allowed within 10 feet of any Stolly's in my ownership. You guys want a go in Stolly? Either buy your own (and you better be quick getting one too as I will personally own at least five of the wee beasties) or make friends with someone else who owns one as no way in hell are you touching mine. And yes that probably seems incredibly petty. DILIGAF? This goes for my entire fleet so no Cedric (good luck finding another one 😃)Corrado, SC100, Volvo(s) Roadrunner etc for any person on the list either. It was nine names initially, it's considerably longer now. You might be able to get off the list with good behaviour, not sure yet as it all depends on how magnanimous I am feeling.

Future tank purchase?!!!!! Road going Simitar??????? That I definitely need to see! As that is 100% achievable with a H licence, rubber tracks and some hand signals! Good luck. https://tanks-alot.co.uk/product/recovery/ Yeah an actual tank, the one above keeps winking at me but I don't have enough cash for it at the moment. It won't be too long though hopefully. Sorry no I meant the MK1 Stolly I purchased last week comes with a Scaracen diff in the spares package that when installed in a Stolly will raise it's VMAX from 40MPH to 50MPH.

They weigh nine tons, mine will be more because of the Atlas Crane. They can carry five tons so a total weight of 15 tons laden. One will being painted like Big Trak don't worry.

Good question..... Wikipedia says "The Stalwart, formally classified by the British Army as Truck, High Mobility Load Carrier (HMLC), 5 Ton, 6 x 6, Alvis/Stalwart and informally known by servicemen as the Stolly, and by former RCT as the Stally" So the RTC did call them Stally's not Stolly's. I personally prefer Stolly and Stalwart is a bit too formal. martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I suppose the pronunciation depends on whereabouts on this glorious sceptred archipelago you come from.
