snowtracdave Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Anyone know anything about Lot 347 "Tracked Test Vehicle" ?There's no photo but it sounds interesting . Is it what you can see behind Lot 330 the Glover Webb buggy & next to Lot 338 the Sabre ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am going Saturday. I think that is the 'Tracked Test Vehicle' next to the Sabre. The Sabre by the way isn't too bad but it is missing the sights, night sight box, rear bin and fan... along with the engine, guns, dampers, periscopes etc etc etc!

sirhc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks Lee, those photos just annoy me though! ABRO decided to strip that vehicle of the fan and sights yet leave a nice turret fuse box. I have the sights and the fan but no fuse box. I really wish they'd allocate vehicles to strip and take bits from them rather than just taking bits off the nearest vehicle to hand at the time!

ArtistsRifles Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Being ignorant of such vehicles - it looks a right mess!! I guess salvageable at a cost though??? So - did you find something to invest in Lee????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Neil, It looks pretty much like my Sabre does, but I drilled some holes to let the water out and power washed it. Oh and I put an engine in it too! To be honest CVRTs are easy vehicles to restore, the Sabre is probably the worst one as you need to strip or remove the turret to get rid of all the mud and crap underneath it. There is nothing missing from that Sabre which won't turn up sooner or later. My Ferret was 10 times worse when I got it! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Hardyferret Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Today Hardyferret has been playing with a Pig. :redfaced: With a view to purchase !!! this pig is of the several tons of armour kind not the oink oink kind. After the fun and games it was a mad dash home to make a start on replacing the kitchen that he ripped out of the house last night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is never dull around here. :nut: Its all to much for me, I'm of to bed with a cup of cocoa. Oh bu@@£r :banghead: I cant find the kettle..or the mugs..............or the cocoa. I'm just of to bed and in the morning I may find it has all been just a bad dream. :sleep: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Hardyferret Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 So was the Pig a go? Do Jess and I need to help trailer this one back? The jury is still out at the moment. :dunno: Hardyferret is at this moment trying to finish the grout on the new kitchen floor. And just in case you are wondering NO none of the kitchen is NATO green. :nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
