sirhc Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Mark, It sounds like there was something wrong with it, or the owner didn't actually want to sell it. It's a shame he wasted your time, but there are plenty more Ferrets about. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearson Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I am 6 foot 3 and close to 20 stone (280 lbs). I fit in! Are you bigger than that Mark?Also driving a Ferret is in the top three things I have ever done that does not involve the exchange of bodily fuids.

AlienFTM Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Don,t worry about it Mark for two reasons:- 1 you would not fit in it 2 there horrible to drive anyway 1. The first Ferret (a Mark 2) I ever drove was in NI, signed out to a man who could easily have been twice my weight, putting him around 20 stone. He was huge. Then we wore bulky ex-Vietnam flak jackets on patrol in NI. The driver's hatch was sealed (it would pop out in an emergency) and all access was via the turret. He lived to drive his Ferrets. 2. Ferret is the best ride you will ever have, and that INCLUDES women (sorry ladies). Mark 2s in NI. Mark 2s in UNFICYP. Mark 1s in BAOR. Ferrets: gotta love 'em.
