currently 12/13 july. are you sure that was a 401? 50 mph is amazing if it was, lucky if you get 30mph. are you sure it wasnt 50k/h? it could have had 600 diffs and hubs fitted, but they struggle to hit 50 anyway. :)

No idea on the age, but it's getting on a bit! Still runs perfectly though and I don't use it that often so it should last me a while yet.

If you were a bit closer I'd have already been knocking on your door wanting a days work running your kit. I'd happily labour for the day for nothing just to get the experience.

The only time I've seen a mog doing this kind of work was at a job I was doing about ten years ago. A local company turned up with what I think was a U1600 with a huge chipper on the back. They cut down a skinny 30-40 foot conifer, manhandled it into the chipper butt end first with about half a dozen blokes and then stood back as it munched the whole untrimmed thing straight through and fired it in the back. The no-stress was working overtime at first but it only took maybe two or three minutes for it to deal with the task. All in the job took about fifteen minutes from fell to jumping in the trucks and leaving. I've wanted one ever since!

currently got a few Unimog dealers who have told me they are interested and would take some new unimogs for people to have a look at. :)
also organising some club merchandise, such as t-shirts and windscreen stickers :)

To get that sort of involvement would be amazing. Well done! Could you perhaps get a poster type thing made up that could be posted on other forums as a picture? Places like Benzworld, Arbtalk etc. I'm a member of both so could have it as a banner in my signature? There's also another mog club who's meet went pear shaped a few years back due to venue issues - most of the members there would probably be interested in coming along as they were based over this way somewhere I think.

It sounds like you're putting a bit of work into this. Nice one. It's appreciated.

yeah i could knock a signature together :) i dont like putting them in my own signatures though because as an admin of the forum thats classed as rude :P the only thing is a signature involving images uses HTML code, and some forums dont support HTML signatures. (including this one i think, but i might change that and have a size limit) this is because HTML signatures can slow down the website. :)
however, other people having a signature to advertise it is perfectly fine :) so i shall make it and supply the image and code. :P

I'm thinking that a straight up UCUK banner may be rude. But a heads up to fellow owners for the UCUK meet isn't. It's friendly and polite to invite others to join in when you do a show, and if they happen to stumble across the forum in the process then that's their business... ;)

How's the planning for this coming together? I just had a read back through the previous posts and remember thinking to myself that there was no way in hell I would have my own by then.... I guess I was wrong!

A drive to Birmingham could be interesting. Hopefully it makes it that far!

Is there a list of dates for UK shows that are of interest, I.e. the 2014 Calender?
Open to see steam fairs, classic car, tractor, truck meets, even gate crash mercedes car meets!

Classic tractors are getting a good following and there were a few unimogs at the Atwood bank steam and country fair a few years ago in 2010. This year it's due 7-8 June 2014

Tractor world at Malvern show ground 1 March 2014.

Are there other shows with a good turnout?

Tractor world?! I haven't heard of that one and it's really local. I'll have to put it in my diary.

A sticky with these things added would be ace. Brian.... :)
