Puketoo Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Hello there, my name is James and I am the proud owner of 01 DD 06 which is a MK 2/3 Ferret scout car. I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas in the U.S. I have owned my Ferret since 2002 but began deploying with the Army in 2006. I was blessed and had several friends who looked after her in my absence. I am now retired and we have a group of five Ferrets and two Saladins here locally so we can help each other with maintenance and the occasional outing. Please give me a shout if I can help in any way with anything. My email is svtpuke@gmail.com. Cheers, James (Puketoo) 01 DD 06 Edited September 7, 2016 by Puketoo Added some additional information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Welcome in. Your little club in Texas seems to have a lot of fun. If I ever relocate from Australia, that's where I'll be heading. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZITIM Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 You will have to join the Ferret fun in Cairns before you head over there! Welcome in. Your little club in Texas seems to have a lot of fun. If I ever relocate from Australia, that's where I'll be heading. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi James, Good to hear from you. Acquired a Ferret two years ago, and a Fort Worth daughter-in-law one year later. We are not often in the Fort Worth area since we are the UK side of the pond but when we do come over, hopefully next summer, I'll PM and make contact. Mine is also a Mk 2/3, 1958 vintage, 01DC86. Fitted with Clansman. All good wishes, Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I have expected others closer to James aka Puketoo to update this thread but no one has, so I feel obliged to do it myself. James Newport, owner of 01 DD 06 died September 10th 2016. His death was a heavy blow to those who knew him. He was a former US Military NCO and it appears he had PTSD from what those around him reported. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
