I took the oppertunity to take the Halftrack out this afternoon for a quick drive in the snow with one of my good friends Graham ( TRUSTMEIMAMACHANIC ) to a mates house for a cuppa about 2 1/2 miles away ,brought back memories of the Arrdennes offensive of 44 , god that was cold without a roof on ,

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. :D

 

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)

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 .

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 :-)

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 !!pencil.png
