Sounds just like last February



In a meeting at work I was thanked by my director for helping out with the transport of District Nurses (My day job is with a PCT for those who don't know).



Funny thing was it wasn't us and to this day I still don't know who did transport them?

Still in the process of trying to find a good reliable source that gets the quality we want at the right price.



Will hopefully be able to post news soon.

In Rover Rescue we have always tried to ensure that all our members have a RAYNET connector (2 pin non-reversible power supply) fitted so that we can act as transport for RAYNET operators when necessary. All they need is a guttermount aerial (or mag mount on Disco or RR) to set up in our vehicles. When I first joined we were even issued with a gutter mount 1/4 wave aerial and I still have mine and carry it as a reserve.

In the spirit of ham radio, I made my 1/4 wave gutter mount out of a coat hangerÂ*

Hi Tony. I use www.wheel-cover.co.uk for my cover -- dedicated graphices on a 33" BFG Mud. I've used them for ten years and ultra reliable,

Talk to Fred Cutler on 01284 725582 - he's also an old off-road person. They're interested in bulk or individual orders, though they may not be able to provide the graphics the Response org needs. definitely worth a chat with.

Thanks Pat



Cut vinyl graphics are not a problem, I need someone who can produce decent printed stickers both internal and external that are a) the right colour b ) actually stick and c) don't cost the earth



It is proving remarkably difficult to get all three

We've always used 'totally graphics' & have never had a problem with either quality or price.

Have a word with Pete as the club have just had a load done so he will be more up on price.



I guess sometimes you have a pay a bit more to get something worth having.
