cossy1 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I've just joined and thought I would say a quick hello and a small intro. My name is Tony and i am a serving soldier with the RLC TA (NRPS) permanent staff (joined the Army in 1980 RCT) At the moment i have a ferret mk 2/3 which is a on going project and i have been to a couple of shows this year to collect for the service charitys. i am also a member of the MVT. Not to sure wot the future holds but i would like to own a jeep so that i can go the shows further afield. Rgards Tony.

bonnie_scott Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Tony, greetings from one newbie to another :-) A have to say I do like the ferret, but I'm not sure I could convine the other half to let me have one - lol I admit I'm biased, but I would have suggested a lightweight landrover in place of a jeep any time. Have fun on the forums. Cheers, Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossy1 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Hi Thanks for the welcome, i get to drive landrovers most days (defenders) so i would like a change of vehicle, but at 6 miles to a gallon on the ferret a jeep not much more i suspect when it comes to the fuel usage? i have inserted a couple of pics of me out and about this year one is of the southport air show (on the DROPS) and the other is at Malpas. Regards Tony. Edited November 26, 2011 by cossy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Tony. Hi welcome to the friendly forum.......... you will get approximately 20mpg out of a Jeep if you drive without thrashing it.

cossy1 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the welcome. 20 mpg that’s a lot more then 6 with the price of fuel at the moment. The problem I have with jeeps is a total lack of knowledge on the subject, and there seams to be a lot of conflicting advice on jeeps when you talk to people. Regards Tony.
