Cleaned off the slimy mould yesterday, used car wash brush and Turtle wax car shampoo! What a difference! Doesn't look half so bad now! Easier to see the rot now. Windscreen is going to be the big problem. Can't get replacement surrounds.

Hi, Still has the 50th Division markings. Still got the extra step. Chris

Hi, Yes was from the North East, but nothing like that sort of money! Chris

Hi, Just recieved my new project. Has been stood outside for a number of years, the rear was covered up so is in very good condition. The cab as not weathered too well and there is a lot of corrosion. The brakes are seized on and no clutch. The engine starts well, the seller originally stopped using the truck because after a coulple of miles it would lose power, so this requires some investigation. Hope you enjoy the mouldy photo's. If you have any info on the trucks let me know. Chris

Check the battery's first! I have had this with 2 Ferrets both times had one cell down on a battery. Use a Hydrometer to check the cells. If you do need to change the starter pm me. It is doable without dismantling too much. Chris

I will be taking my Ford F22 CMP on Sunday. Chris

Here are some pics of my Umarex Browning Hi Power. This is a blank firing model. It is the 8mm version and is considered one of the best copies ever made. If anybody is interested it is for sale. It comes with 58 pattern holster and belt, 45 rnds blank ammo spare mag and original box. £200+pp or I will be at Stoneleigh. Chris

Ok will try. Chris

I will be there again this year with the Ferret. Probably for the last time in the Ferret, after 6 years I have decided to sell the old girl . See you there with my for sale sign. Chris

here's mine. Out and about on a regular basis.

Fantastic weekend! Well organised, apart from not been able to get to the bar!! Had to resort to drinking straight vodka from the bottle. Definitely be back next year. Chris

Looking forward to this one, will be there in the Ferret again! Chris

Hi, Thought I would post this pic of my Ferret in service in Northen Ireland. As you can see from the cap badges it is with the 17/21 Lancers. According to the history card for the vehicle it was with th 17/21 Lancers in 1970. I have scanned the picture from a book called Battlefield which was passed onto me by the previous owner of the Ferret, apparently he was down at beltring looking on a book stall, he picked up the book and it fell open at this page with the pic of his Ferret! Chris

Hi Matt, Not too far away from me! I live in Sheffield and also have a Ferret. Might see you at some of the local shows! Cheers Chris

I should be there on the M20, but only on the Sunday! Here's a pic of me at easter. Regards Chris

Hi Private MW, I will be there with my BSA M20 and Daimler Ferret, so come and say hello. Cheers Chris

Not me I'm afraid. Chris

Heres mine. Chris

Hi all, What a fantastic weekend! Thanks to the Yorkshire MVT! The weather was great, I even won a prize in the judging, 3rd best Post War. Nice to meet Tim, Bodge and Steve Carr. I will definitely be booking for next year. I met up with the guy who used to own my Ferret for 12 years. He gave me a book called Battlefield, The Weapons of Modern Land Warfare. On page 89 there is a picture of my Ferret in service in Northern Ireland with the 17th 21st Lancers, according to the record card it was with the Lancers in 1970. I will get it scanned and post it up! Cheers Chris

Hi, I am booked into this with the Ferret! Anbody else going? Come over and have a brew & a chat if your there. I will be flying the HMVF flag! Cheers Chris
