sirhc Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 That Ferret is very confused, with the Larkspur antenna bases, Clansman antenna bases, steps in the bins, grab handles, flashy light tow hooks?!?! and extra bits bolted on anywhere they fit. It's almost as bad as the pimped one on ebay. Lee there is a Fox windscreen which is quite good and much better than a Ferret one, it would stop the Beltring dust problem. Have you got one? I can take a photo of mine if you want. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris That's Don & Ret's Ferret.. always enjoy meeting up with them to see what they have bolted on next :-D that step is off a Routemaster Bus I think they said.. think they must almost of run out of room for bolt on goodie :whistle: Yep got one of those screens Chris but not sure being perspex if the dust would just stick to it like a magnet.. that's the trouble with the Fox it's like one big hoover, that hatch sucks in everything in it's path.. a while back I was behind an Abbott & a 432 on a run around Canvey Island, only about 4 miles by the time I got back I took my glasses off & it looked like I'd been down a Coalmine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blackman Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sorry Lee - got yr surname wrong again (!) .. you should have corrected me the first timeI did it. Anyway, what's wrong with Mansworthy? Quite an upper class sounding name. Colonel Mansworthy...Brigadier Mansworthy .. sounds good. :-) I also said the Fox and Scimitar shared the same turret - they don't - its the Sabre. See what happens when Alvis make all the CVR(T) names so similar - bound to cause confusion when the fingers have trouble typing what the brain's thinking.

FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Much as i would have liked to my scanner is defunct so it was not an option Looks like you guys are going to have to shell out a few shekels and employ a team of bloodhounds to hunt a copy down. Come to think of it perhaps I should try and grab another so I can frame it :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Maybe I should be looking on the top shelf as it has a sexy picture on the front :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
