The way you wrote it sounded like you were witholding the information !

Why don't you just tell him ?

What does your ARRV have in it Mark ?

No sorry not yet Andy, still require some of the other flotation aids from the bucket and the boom.

Just managed to purchase 3 CETflotation air bags.

He has an M747 trailer the same as mine.

Will they ever get round to restoring it... it is a bit sad if it is all hoarded away like that never to be seen again, it would be great if there is some on-going restoration happening, does anyone know ?

I doubt very much the 15 to 20 mph suggested, it may look like that sort of speed to you stood watching but likely to be 5 to 10 mph. At the old venue I attended on a number of occasions with CET and M578, finding someone who was prepared to walk 1/2 a mile from the camping areas in front of a tracked vehicle was difficult, near imposible. You clearly have not experienced driving or applying the brakes on any tracked vehicles... at these sort of speeds they will stop on a pinhead without skidding like a wheeled vehicle might. What is the walker in hi vis supposed to do, he is looking forwards where he is going he cannot see what is happening behind him, it is the drivers responsibility to observe and react to what is happening around him. I can see no problem with a quad bieng used instead of the walker.

Back to the chargers.

What was the "huge American breakdown truck" ? Any pictures ?

Did not pick up the fuel starvation problem ?

Really nice restoration, clearly a labour of love resulting in a well deserved award. Video was also superb set very nicely to music.

Evening Wally the distance between Ruddington and Market Harborough is actually 50 miles.

Paul, If you just want a new Goddess I know where there are 2 as released from Withams.

you have clearly not been invited to crew this time then Andy !

Who is doing transport this time ?

Is this the BID 460 installed in a SANIE ?

I have 2 NOS rebroadcast units identical to the one in the picture above, one still in its packaging if anyone is interested.

Don't tell me both the 432s were on the same transport !

At last they have found some practical use for the most overpriced MV ever, they turned it into a log splitter !

Ask the seller ?

Yes we have been in touch with the website but they have no record of the person who posted the picture.

Had to be somewhere near us Andy, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive bus stop in the background !

Thanks Bob, that is how history becomes distorted, I should have verified it before I posted. Incidentally it is now completely derelict, have a look at Google street view.
