Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2015-01-07 20:37	The correct spelling is "Timoney". http://www.timoneygroup.com/Index.aspx

jcb ◊ 2015-01-08 13:11	Well we have full designation so 'Timoney Carmichael Cougar' or 'Timoney Cougar' ? -- Last edit: 2015-01-08 13:11:23
Weasel1984 ◊ 2015-01-08 16:06	We don't have chassis type/model, which seems to be hard to find and hard to believe that "8x8" is the whole designation. Anyway better "Timoney Carmichael Cougar" (though "Carmichael Cougar" with "Timoney"/"Timoney chassis" in extra info field also wouldn't be wrong to me).

But it seems to get a lot more complicated with these specialist airfield trucks as much more of the machine is built by the specialist fire engine body builders and they often are registered in the body builders name not the chassis makers. I had come across Timoneys before in use by the USAF and incorrectly assumed they were American. -- Last edit: 2015-01-08 17:07:25
antp ◊ 2015-01-09 15:01	As we already have a few Carmichael, I would rather use that as a make ; also if the whole vehicle is rather considered as a product from them. -- Last edit: 2015-01-09 15:02:19
jcb ◊ 2015-01-09 15:24	It's registered with DVLA as a Timoney so I say lets stick with this. The USAF ones are all known as Timoney's Wonder where it is now ? taxed to February 2013 but now export marked .

This is true, though worth to say, that sometimes even these, let's say, "normal"-"light" conversions can be registered under body maker name - matter of country or even matter of who sells the final vehicle.
