    Searching for CVRT for non-profit USA

    in Introductions & Welcomes

    Posted

    Hello, I am Roger1954, from USA. Our new non-profit charity organization is looking to purchase any model CVRT to use as a parade and ceremony vehicle to honor all military veterans. Prefer a running, driving vehicle, and we can do paint, and some repairs. Maybe even streaker or shielder that we could construct a light weight tank body. I have worked on Jaguar, Rolls Royce, JCB vehicle and have knowledge of CVRT mechanicals.

    Thanks for your assistance.

     

    I have just advertised my CVRT Sabre on the Forum.

     

    Regards Paul

    Just one minor point.

     

    I assume it got into the garage but looking at the top of the turret and the top of the garage door it looks a bit tight.

     

    believe it or not I've only just read your comment..... thanks.... Regards Paul!!!

    Is there any interest in new manufacture rear hull bin covers for Sabre?

     

    I am talking to the manufacturer and they come in at around £120. I might be ordering some for my vehicles so could order a few more if required.

    Driving Tracked Vehicles - interesting observation !

    I've noticed that when I'm driving on the road I feel i'm driving at a sensible even slowish speed.... however.... when i see video of me driving it ALWAYS looks as if i'm going twice as fast as I thought at the time !!

     

    Has anyone else experienced this ? I recently posted a video of a M4 High Speed tractor in the W&P arena and the driver mentioned the same thing.

     

    Now my theory is.... when you are driving one of these amazing complex often difficult vehicles to control... you are in a high state of alert... adrenalin is probably pumping round your body... there's a lot going on ... particularly when on the road.... you are concentrating hard.... looking out for hazards, other cars etc etc..... in this state... time effectively appears to slow down... you are functioning in a higher mode.... you feel things are happening slower... infact to onlookers... you are moving faster. It's all relative. Well that's my theory !!!

     

    Something went wrong...
