  1. During the pit stop the german crew realised the Italians were too busy crying into their helmets after Louis had won the arms race. (Long shot I know!)
  2. The local newsagent hasnt got it anymore, all down to WHS I suspect. Shame really as he will be losing out on my business.
  3. Would be interesting to know where the footage came from, any ideas?
  4. I have to ask two questions. First, how on earth do you decide where to start, hull and engine. Secondly how did you get to obtain it off the ranges? Did at any moment you think " What the **** have I got here?"..
  5. Last I heard they were sold off, dont know who to though.
  6. Which one is you Dave. Im guessing not the one with the crop top?
  7. I wish we lived nearer the sea...one day.....Lyme Bay...
  8. When Im not running the business... I spend a lot of my time analysing these things. A type of Roman pottery from Gaul called Samian made between 1st century and 3rd century. Most of the stuff I get to look at is in bits, and incredibly small bits at that. I weigh, identify who made them and where they come from. Then compile a report. Mrs W thinks Im barmy-crackers but it beats watching mush on the TV.
  9. Had a look at your video Chris (it needs a narrative!), it did look a bit rough when you bought it. Did you have any issues with the drivetrain or gearbox during restoration?
  10. Looking at the hints and tips from Dougs heavy metal page I might save a few more shekels and get a decent running one rather one that has been stood for a while. They are not that straightforward a vehicle if you arent used to them by the look of it.
  11. great pics, things look hardly different.
  12. Thanks Chris, signed up and thanks for the tip.
  13. Going to look at a couple of ferrets over Xmas. They havent been run for a year or so but were runners before they were laid up. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the way of corrosion, mechanical problems when viewing them?
  14. Somewhere a Central American goes if he doesnt want to be seen.... Sorry, if it wasnt me, someone else would say it!

    Never come across these before, is it me or does the cab seem to be a little on the bent side, perhaps from the weight?

    AA cmp

    Yes I know its not a Brit vehicle! But just cane across this CMP mounted with AA gun. Any info?
  19. The Marcus Glenn one seems a bit pricey, especially when you add the VAT. (Minus the 2.5%, you are oh so generous Mr Darling).
  20. Something you dont see everyday.
  21. There is one breaking on Milweb at the moment but its a Mk2 Ferret, was there a difference in the hulls between the Mk1 and Mk2s?
