Amphibi boy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Great pictures, there's always something about m.v's In the snow, they just look great. Your half track looks like it could be back there in 44. When we say its cold, we have to think of the guy's who fought in the ardennes day in day out, in freezing condition, i have much respect for them and what they did. Keep the pictures coming all of you, get a scalf on and go for a drive! My stolly is in workshop and i dont know if i will finish the work in time to get out and play in the snow.(unless i take one in the yard) Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybaggerman Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm impatient to see how a saracen does in the snow, but we havn't had any..............yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibi boy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The saracen should be good in the snow, im itching to get the stolly out, i will have to crack on and get it sorted! Im amazed you hav'nt got snow down in devon, we got about 3inches over here in belgium, (they have alot more up in the ardennes!)

Jack Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Show off!:nono: Snow off! Very nice Adrian - how did it handle??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Scott Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi Jack , Like a racing car , only kidding , did a emergency stop down hill on the farm drive and both tracks and the front axle locked up and it went like a sledge ,but that was only me playing , it drove very well , felt safe and handled well , stopped and spoke to my neighbouring farmer and his wife , and he said he could feel the heat comming out from the engine onto the side of the road , i said what do you expect,it burns fuel at the rate of 3 mpg !!!!! , made then laugh .

Steve Greenberg Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hello, I took my M3A1 Stuart out in the snow back in 2008. That was the last time we had enough snow over here, (Portland, Oregon US of A), to go out and play in!!! Here are a couple inks to videos. Enjoy, Steve :-) http://www.youtube.com/Steve1958OR#p/a/u/2/sG3byN4wqTk http://www.youtube.com/Steve1958OR#p/a/u/1/HWAF1oM0nY8 http://www.youtube.com/Steve1958OR#p/u/44/fAfsG3W_Fks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Scott Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 As it snowed here again and our lane had a good covering of the white stuff , i thought it was time to get the Sexton SPG out of the workshop and have a play ,after checking the engine oil and topping up the petrol this morning , she fired up first time ,a couple of good friends said they were up for the challenge this afternoon to help with the drive , we had a 4x4 infront with flashing light bar on it and Graham (trustmeimamachanic) as commander and me as driver for the first half and then John took over for the second half , both John and myself took and passed our H licence back in March at Tanksalot .We did about 5 miles around the lanes that surround my farm and as luck had it we didnt see any cars !!
