Default The best ride

Having owned and driven Carrier, Centurion tank, Stuart M3 and Daimler dingo, I can agree whole heartedly that the Ferret is the easiest to drive and the most comfortable of the bunch. That's why I decided to stick with ferrets after all the other vehicles have gone to better homes...

Cheers

Phill

Default Its Alive!!!

Success!

After cleaning the carburator, replacing the diaphrams, installing 6 new spark plugs and priming the fuel pump The engine sparked to life instantly. I was amazed it started so quick. I didn't even touch the distributor.

Keep in mind, the last time the engine ran was at least 5 or 6 years ago.

Now that I know I have a good engine, I have to get the brakes working. Once that is done, I will take her for a drive to make sure the gearbox is working correctly, then I can pull the power pack.

I made a video of the start up. Will download it shortly.

Yippie!!!
