  1. most members of the great unwashed will see for instance of a daimler ferret with L4a4 mounted and covered and presume its been driven by the army !
  2. from my own perspective , i find it enjoyable working on old vehicles, military ones even more so,plus all the bits that go with them are pretty cool, also i like the camping bit at military shows least when when you go back to work on a monday you feel like like you have done something at the weekend!
  3. gpmg on milweb at 2799 quid not bad price if u have that sort of money burning a hole in your pocket!
  4. if its like my ferret engine ie exhaust manifold bolts directly on to engine block and air intake carb etc is on other side just get exhaust manifold checked for straitness and if necessary get it skimmed level or get new manifold .
  5. so for a skim on manifold you would want distance between carb and engine shortened by equal amount? me confused!

  11. its all on the system they can see if mv is taxed would be a pretty sad copper that did a ferret owner for non display of tax disc , they really should concentrate on bigger issues , but sadly a lot of us thru work are performance /target driven.
