On Good Friday morning I set off to New Jersey to visit my newest Ferret related friend.
Paul recently bought this Ferret that has an interesting history.
Since being released it spent time down south in the USA and was owned and operated by an organisation with a good idea but seemingly poor or flawed execution.
The Armed Response Group US (ARGUS) owned a number of vehicles including this Ferret and a Saracen. The basic concept was privately owned vehicles to assist law enforcement in such situations as needed, thereby reducing the need for one department to own the asset.
Below are various links to stories that show the provenance.

The vehicle showed up on ebay in the USA and was in a terrible state which likely put people off considerably.
This Ferret has quite some significance in relation to the CF Ferrets and also in relation to one of my two Ferrets about which there has been some unproven conjecture.
