I wouldn't normally put a post like this in the General section but it is rather urgent! If any of you are visiting (or thinking of visiting) Area 52 this weekend I could really do with your help: My Delica has been selected to appear in a flim shoot in London on Monday and Tuesday, but today I get a call requesting various things they want me to do to the car if possible. Talk about last minute!! They want it to look as Mad Max/post-apocalyptic as possible which basically entails fitting lots of things like fuel cans, water containers, netting, survival gear etc...to the roof, rear ladder. This is what the van currently looks like: I have a large roof crate and will be making a smaller roof rack for the front half of the roof over the weekend (along with a cage over the screen to have a riot shiled type grille!) What I need if possible is any old metal fuel cans, metal ammo boxes....anything you might be able to lend me to make it look as 'survivor' as possible. A chunky old rope, military looking shovels/pickaxe, a farm jack, sand ladders/tracks...I'm sure you get the picture. I'll be starting work on the van tomorrow and if anyone is able to lend me anything I'd be very grateful. I'll be at the unit all weekend and please feel free to drop by and lend a hand. All items will be well looked after and returned once the filming is finished. Many thanks, Bruce. Have a few 'post apocalyptic' cars as a source of inspiration and as a thank you.... i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss239/Bowie360/medium_3390067616_982c9e887e_o.jpg[/img]...and finally, my friends take on the Mad Max theme!

If anyone is going down from welsh lands. I have a military khaki green jerry can, and an ammunition box you could borrow. Can't afford to drive to bristol this weekend though. Ive also got some sniper netting that might be of some use

Bruce
I've 2 decent sized ammo crates, your welcome to them, only snag is I'm working saturday and kinda got plans sunday - but your welcome to grab them at an M4 junction monday on your way up to the smoke,
they are about 2 foot long and about 10" x 12" ina rustic army brown shade - havent really got a use so no rush to return (they might have ended up at A52 anyway)
gimme a shout if any good - same if anyones going that can swing by J12 - 13 on M4 - unless plans change sunday and i may pop down anyway

Steve, thanks Dude. If you're not coming over do you know if you'd be able to get it to Si or Tim? Hope you do make it over at some point though.... Will, as Ben says, he's not coming over this weekend (first time EVER!! ) but hopefully I'll be able to source enough bits elsewhere while Ben preps his Volvo for the big paintathon next weekend. Ben, still gutted you can't make it...but all for the greater good I'll have a route around in the cars but 99.9% of it really is junk! Not cool junk either. Paul, don't think anyone is going your way but thanks for the offer anyway. Steve, cancel what you're doing and get your ass down to the unit on Sunday - I'll let you have a looky at the wheels again (installments welcome seeing as it's you ) Alternatively I'll see about stopping by on my way down to London although it'll be on Sunday night because I've got to be on set 7.30 on Monday!! Will call you over the weekend anyway. Thanks everyone for the offers, PM's and texts. Hopefully get something cool sorted for the truck ;D

I'll be travelling down to Swanage from SE London tomorrow morning/afternoon then from Swanage to A52 on Saturday afternoon. I am going M25/A3/A31/M3/m27 then up the A37 to A52. If anyone needs anything collecting near to that route I'm happy to assist, I don't have sat nav and will probably be in the Polo so not acres of space but a roof rack If needs be you can get hold of me on here til tomorrow morning or mob *789*61452* *=0 Ben who's going to be our superstar chef?!?!?! Sleeperviva - i'll be passing by Radstock on the A37 so may well be able to pick the rope up?

Sure does....but we'll have to stop by my place before heading off so I can pick some stuff up and see the GF for about 10 mins.
Pete, thanks for the offer but I don't think I'll have a spare minute tomorrow to even think of getting up to yours plus I wouldn't even know what to do with it LOL. Thanks anyway.
