Metroman Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 My shed is full up with stuff, had an offer on the Daf, waiting to see if the guy is serious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This is going a bit off topic... but nope, no big garden and no shed either. We do have a couple stored on a farm now, going to put the Sabre there too. Most of our restorations are done on the drive, you just need to be creative with the parking arrangements!

ratty Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 i would love a tracked vehicle but dont have no land or storage area to keep and run one ...good luck and enjoy.. Don't let land or storage stop you. Like Sirhc stuffem up your drive and let the neighbours whinge! Works well enough for me, sometimes gets a bit boring having to move 3 vehicles to get to the one I want though :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metroman Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Its back on again, at a lower price & still no pictures of the insides, this guy was supposed to email me pic's on Friday. I had arranged to view either Friday evening or Saturday. :??? http://contact.ebay.co.uk/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowEmailAuctionToFriend&item=200247626242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 sometimes gets a bit boring having to move 3 vehicles to get to the one I want though :shocked: Just like real life. As a Recce Regt on CVR(T)s, we could park something four vehicles in the area required for one Chieftain. In Command Troop hangars our Saracen (later Sultan) ACVs had to be parked side by side one inch apart in order to get everything (three ACVs, four FSCs and two LRs) in and still have room to get around the outside of them (walking by the walls and between front / back of vehicles). Having got on top we could walk from front to back of hangar without touching the ground. H&S would have a fit. Never mind how we walked across them in total blackness under the cam nets in the woods. That's something I never saw: training recruits on a high-level confidence (ropes, nets, walkways, etc) area in the dark. Just what the RAC need.

sirhc Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nice one Phil, a nice toy you've got there! Good luck with the restoration, but from the videos it sounds like it just needs a good tidy up and some paint. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wot no TOTTY:??? Turret Totty is probably still swinging from one of the overhanging branches! Nice bit of precision driving between those gate posts Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Turret Totty is probably still swinging from one of the overhanging branches! Nice bit of precision driving between those gate posts Mark. Yes - it was a tad tight in places. Phil said it was tight - he forgot to mention it was Anorexic. I think the 434 just needs a damn good greasing but apart from that - it runs very well. New track pads need fitting - included in the sale. I was surprised how quickly it acelerated. Well, I hope Phil has fun with it - but no top turret totty - he's married. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
