Yeah, done that but it doesn't seem to be retrospective. I also need to do some work on improving the navigation options once you're in the site.

![]() Yeah apparently if you had already had a signature it would have changed it, but since you did not, the "showsignature" flag was off for all your prior posts. I have flipped the switch for all your posts so you now have 1081 links to your site ![]() If anyone else has the same issue or would like their website listed in the new users thread, post here or PM me.

A question for you - would Hotspur Armored Products be making vehicles for the Scottish Army? They make armoured cars for the civilian and foreign military market and you would figure that since Dumfries wasnt nuked that they would have tried to keep them intact and at the very least capable of maintaining similar vehicles if not making more of them.
The Hussar for instance was based on the Land Rover One Ten (4 × 4) chassis, which would still be around for them to use to produce new ones. Would be an interesting addition to their forces - i.e. either operating some of them or perhaps having that facility still being in production making the Scottish Army have the advantage of actually turning out some new armored equipment in comparison to the rest of the UK governments. |

Firstly, have to confess I wasn't aware Hotspur (or Penman Engineering as they now seem to be known) existed in Dumfries! Looking through their website, it does seem perfectly reasonable - probably even likely - that they would be able to carry on producing uparmoured vehicles so long as they could get access to both the vehicles and the necessary raw materials. If you check their website they have a page on reroling / extension where it looks like they take a pretty beat up Land Rover and convert it into an armoured variant.
http://www.penman.co.uk/life-extension.html As to who would be using them, if you go by the published material the Scottish Army controls all of Scotland, whereas I have the Dumfries area being effectively independent (and allied with Carlisle), but either way I could definitely see whoever controls Dumfries having a number of improvised armoured vehicles at their disposal. Good call...cheers.

You could even see them selling their vehicles to the various marauder groups who all would love to have any kind of up armoured vehicle for their use, with a local militia making sure that Dumfries stays neutral and independent (mainly because they would have several of these vehicles armed with various weapons)

You could...I suppose it depends how lawful / moral you wanted to make Dumfries' leaders (or at least whoever controls Penman). That sort of trade could be dangerous however...you wouldn't want to supply a rival group to the extent that they suddenly become more powerful than you. As well as selling they could also supply a bespoke uparmouring service to anyone who already owns a suitable vehicle.
