Tosh, I live in Germany and WFP is virtually nonexistant here. I only have a rough idea of WFP and am trying to find out as much as I can, just wondered why a piece of kit like that would end up on Ebay.

Don't you think that's a lot of water, about 250 kg, for a car?

Its a big 7 seater people carrier with the rear 5 seats removed and the barrels are well spaced....

Have you had a look at Matt's DIY site?  That used to give a good explanation of how all this stuff works; it's simple once you understand the principles; honestly.

I'm not sure if I can post a link to it here, but if you have a search for Matt's posts, I'm sure you'll be able to e-mail him for a link.

Also, where in Germany are you; just out of interest?  I've spent years in Germany as a squaddie.  My postings were Bielefeld, Duisburg, Verden (near Hannover), Celle and Belsen (both near the infamous concentration camps).

I seem to remember there's loads of flats in Germany; probably because most of the houses were bombed during WW2; but most of them have balconies; which could be a pain.

Cozy,

My first posting was 10 Regt RCT.  It has a special place in my heart; honest.  I even spent 21 days in the jail there (after four days close arrest).  I was there from late 1987 till late 1991 (I went to Gulf War 1 with them). 

I was 9 Squadron, though I went to Ireland with 36 Squadron around 1989. 

It's a small world.  Hey, you might even know me. 

Do you know they've been having 10 Regt reunions for the past few years? 

E-Mail me; toshisba@yahoo.co.uk I'll help you all I can.

Added later;

I was at 10 Regt from late 1987 till early 1992; I was the guy with the slanty eyes known as Tosh or the Jap Sniper.

I had mine on a very lightweight shopping trolley frame, it lasted about a year and was brilliant, I saw an old dear with the perfect trolley the other day, but someone had bought it as a present, and she didn't know where from.
I need a trolley weighing less than a kilo, wheels that are not too hard, and the backpack electrics placed where spilled water can't get to them.
Most backpacks are killed when water is spilled into the works when filling.

This ones from Wilkinsons approx £18 weighs 1.3kg fixes with a bungee top to bottom on the axle/front rail and lift the lot with one hand.

That one looks great, and very light too. I'll have a look next time I'm in Rhyl.
