Last week I went to the DVD Show at Milbrook Proving Ground. Milbrook was conceived and built by Vauxhall in their heyday and is now used by most UK manufacturers (Do we still have any?). I haven’t a clue what DVD stands for, but will have to find out sharpish because I have to write a 1200 word commentary on it for 4x4 Magazine pronto. Anyway. This is the Jeeps Grandson and mighty impressive it is too. Built in Devon by Supacat it is powered by a 6.7 litre Cummins diesel engine - American. It is capable of 80 mph, off road and is an awesome piece of kit all round! You heard it here first, but when these are being flogged off at some Army Surplus sale, bag one. Hope I’ve not given too many secrets away. Who’s that at the door now?

Millbrook....what a place! I went there regularly when working with Bedford. Whilst going around one tortuous section, the TM we were in developed an unearthly screeching which caused us to make an emergency stop. The noise continued, and around the corner of a workshop came one of the GM staff, in full fig, practising his bagpipe playing!
Want one.
Very you, you hunk you. Did you manage to keep your hands off the squaddie?
Affer: a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes. And doesn't.
