Joris Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got the OT already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Not yet Joris. Plan is - last I heard - to go up to Russian Military this week (hopefully on Sat) for the hand-over then it's being shipped down to the Plains weekend next Thursday. Got to Ring Richard or Martin up at Russian Military today to make sure this is still the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Very! Managed to score a complete medi-kit for it from eBay for £18 - it's just arrived. And Ryton have got me a pair of PKT's for the forward hull positions so I need to get the payment and delivery of those sorted out. It's coming together at last!!

ArtistsRifles Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Spoke to Richard today - the work is finished so I'm booked to go up on Frioday morning for the hand-over session. :yay::yay: Only thing they haven't managed to do is get the girl registered with the DVLA so I'll have to do that once we get back from the PLains weekend. May kick proceedings off next weeke before I go go!! Looking good folks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Neil, gad to see you safely back from Oz. Don't know if you've considered it but a lot of the tracks on the plains have vehicular rights of way on them so the OT 90 would need to be registered and an appropriate driving licence needed if these tracks are going to be used.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Cheers Degsy - wasn't aware of the rights of way bit. No way will the girl be DVLA registered by then so there could be a problem?? I think this is one for Tony and the SPTA team. She'll be road-legal in respect of lighting etc., just no reg plate!!!

Degsy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yes I think you need to ask the question, hopefully the route will not be using any ROW as I understand that both the wardens and plod keep a very close eye on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Fingers crossed then mate - you won't believe the time and effort I've spent thus far in getting her down there!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nick some trade plates:cool2: You got a spare set then Tony?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm sure the team down there will be able to sort it for you Neil, just didn't want you turning up there then finding this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Salisbury plain is criss crossed by Byways, (normally legal to drive as they carry same restrictions/laws as A class roads etc; May have Traffic Restriction Orders, TRO's on them,.....need to check) Bridleways, use of horse/cycle and walker's and Footpaths, pedestrians only. Yes, from my time's down there, whilst using Byways, I've been approached by wardens, who after checking what I'm up too have always bee fine. Hope you can get things sorted, in time.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hand-over completed successfully - & Richard has said he will deal with the registration for me on Monday as he has a contact at the Peterborough office. All in all a pretty good day. Pics and video clips to follow as soon as!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Things are looking up then Neil, although it begs the question why Richard has dragged his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I suspect because of a mis-understanding over the insurance Degsy. He thought he was providing an insurance cert whereas I had it already from RoadSure. Certainly it was like the magic wave when I produced it today!!!

Degsy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Good news anyway Neil, I hope it works out for you to get to the plains, but with a dealer doing the registering I think it will go through straight away. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 .... although it begs the question why Richard has dragged his feet. hmmmm.......I can't think why. He's not normally like that ; ) Regards ( with tongue slightly in cheek ) Richard Ps. Glad you finally got it all sorted out Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well....... We DID have to prise the phone out of his hands!! To say his business is booming might be an understatement... Meantime - here's some pic's of the beastie: Got some video's too - just trying to upload to HMVFTV but it's taking an age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
