BRDM Driver Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hello All. I have a Czech BRDM2 at the moment, which I am gradually sorting out. Looking for other owners to share info with. I'm also considering a CVRT Sabre/Scimitar at some point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Welcome to the Friendly Forum. A BDRM 2 - what fun! When you get time post some snaps of your pride and joy. The Warsaw Pact bunch will be thrilled to have you aboard. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Some photos of my BRDM2. The missile launcher has been taken off by the previous owner, but I managed to get hold of it, so that's the next part of the project. So far, it's been replacing belts, fixing fuel pump and learning Russian! It starts on the button and is easy to drive. I need some wing mirrors (Landy mirrors waiting fitting) and probably sideways looking cctv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 nice, do you need a class C to drive? or is it under 7.5t? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Welcome Is it a problem to get spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRDM Driver Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 She weighs in at 7 tonnes, so ok on a normal car licence. Fully amphibious too, so I guess I need a river licence too! Loads of cool stuff inside, even a man portable single rocket launcher... There are things like a gieger counter, radio set, wire guided aiming system, nbc, hydraulic belly wheels (8 wheel drive), 2 or 4 wheel drive, hi/low gear, 4 forward gears. Spares are a bit of an issue. So far ebay stuff from a bloke in Russia has been no problem. UK dealers are not much help - don't know if they are on here, Richard and Duncan??? In the end, for serious spares, I'll go over and track down my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 V8 5litre petrol. about 10mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ta for that must get those 6 winning numbers!!!!!!! Mark :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't think that Duncan is on these forums (not sure about Richard). As you are in Dorset, you could have a look at volunteering at the Tank Museum, they have some BRDM vehicles (one may even work). If you know what you are doing with the Russian kit, I am sure that they could use your help - just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRDM Driver Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yep, I have already spoken to the 'librarian'... I just need to pop over during the week to see what they have. I have a good manual and translations for all the controls. What I really need is a pass to get into some of the MOD off road areas around here!
