Don't be sad folks. The vehicle might be gone but this thread has brought the memories back. For me it was my Honda CB 250 Superdream. Loads of happy miles and memories but £200 was a lot of money to me then when I needed it. Wish I had kept the 432 and got more film of it driving but it was probably a good decision to let it go. Cant see me selling the Ferret any time soon.

Expect to be used as a guide when we do a group tour over there. Welcome mate -
Got my ppl many years ago but lapsed now due to cost. Though fortunate enough to include Spitfire and Strikemaster. The flying is the easy bit, its the procedures and emergency actions when something is out of the ordinary that are the difficult bits. I couldn't fly regularly enough to keep them second nature, that's why I gave up.

Mine was caused by fluid leaking past the piston to the back of the master cylinder so have a good look at it. I thought it was ok as pressure was good. Needed a refurb and a new switch

Oooh that does seem to be a lot of agro for little gain. Especially the bit where he says it sometimes fills with sludge so might not give a proper reading -
Having just rebuilt the carb and fuel pump - it makes an amazing difference and starts on the button.

Saturday went for a long spin in the Ferret to blow away the cobwebs and give the nrew gearbox a good workout. It was great.

If they had not tried to charge W&P for damage that did not happen, things might be different.

Vince, That is brilliant and one heck of a jigsaw puzzle. I have just got mine done inside and I know how much work is there. Good luck mate it will be worth it for the fun factor and prices are rising again. David

Wow Andy, that beats me. I did well over 1000 miles in the first 2 years. But it has dropped off a bit since.

Some sort of bunker?

As long as you can be contacted through the address given, then you do not have to live there. Parents address etc is fine.

Any of the vehicle recovery agents will have a large supply but loads of chavs are trying to get hold of it now. Go in and explain you want it for a military vehicle and they are usually more helpful. Ask to deal with the manager - it worked for me.

Who looks after the Boyes collection on here? There was a post a while back about getting a new 432 in the collection. Can you drop me a pm please there is a paperwork matter to clear up. Many thanks Dave

Where in Kent? A couple of us are in Maidstone with Ferrets

Fine to take a youngster along but I was disappointed with the lack of storyline

Ray, the thing with mates like that is they do not need repaying. Just being there in a group and part of it is payment enough. Anyone who has mates like that will never be poor.
