Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2006has my 101 found itself a name? :)
I have been endeavouring to use up my cheap nitromors thisafternoon and have been stripping the upper part of the 101. I found a nice surprise under the front vent! http://www.tomwoods.co.uk/101/chavasseVC.jpg I've got some competition for Al's 'Martin-Leake VC' now. ;) My Ambi appears to be 'Chavasse VC' - who was an upstanding army medic who got the VC twice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.G._Chavasse) in the same sort of veign as Martin-Leake. >I have been endeavouring to use up my cheap nitromors thisafternoon >and have been stripping the upper part of the 101. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >who got the VC twice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.G._Chavasse) in >the same sort of veign as Martin-Leake. FANTASTIC! That really is a find - can you let alasdair know ASAP please, he'll be right happy (honestly - it's like stamp collecting with attitude for Al). Hey, does this make you a Chav? ;-)  Signature"We have gone from a world of concentrated knowledge and wisdom to one of distributed ignorance.

I've emailed Al - first thing i did :) I couldnt believe it when i worked out what it said! I'm guessing that there might also be an Upham VC ambi somewhere! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Martin-Leake - Upham was the third man along with martin-Leake and Chavasse to get the VC twice) I feel bad about stripping the writing off!. I'm working round it and leaving it till last for now. I shall take lots of pictures and measurements so that i can repaint it back on top later! >I'm guessing that there might also be an Upham VC ambi somewhere! >(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Martin-Leake - Upham was the >third man along with martin-Leake and Chavasse to get the VC twice) wow, I've found Alasdairs website now and he's even done some letter writing to find out why they named his! I feel all cultured spending an evening reading about all this stuff! Tom Woods <news@NOPSAMtomwoods.co.uk> uttered summat worrerz funny about: > wow, I've found Alasdairs website now and he's even done some letter > writing to find out why they named his! > I feel all cultured spending an evening reading about all this stuff! Super stuff! It's rather spooky when it suddenly becomes "different" from the rest init. Theres a load of medical supplies on www.uksurplus.com if you fancy putting all the ambi stuff back in ;-) Lee D >Super stuff!

As it happens Al has also found me an in service picture of my ambi! apparently this is 'as delivered'. http://www.tomwoods.co.uk/101/71GJ66_small.jpg I am trying to work out what is going on behind my rear wheel in that picture. It looks like there is a patch fitted - which is funny as my 101 came with a big hole in the outer skin there which i had to patch up myself! - factory fitted damage? ;) Tom Woods <news@NOPSAMtomwoods.co.uk> uttered summat worrerz funny about: > No way i'm putting all that stuff back in now!
