Joining yahoo first to join the mailing list is the sticking point hanno, otherwise I'd already be there. Just seeing what sort of spam and such it will allow in.

Update: reading yahoo7's privacy settings they state they will tract my IP address during browsing and by signing with them I allow them and associated companies access to my browsing history/cookies. Hanno, I do not like that. Is there a way to be a member of your site and not of yahoo7?

Hi Ryan,

It looks like you might need some armour off the scrap M3 Hulls we have at the back of the museum. We also have other parts you might need. Our M3 is now complete, though unrestored.

Good luck with the restoration !

Cheers

Phill

Dear Ryan,

loading or unloading tracked kit to or from transport often has a few ring twitter moments.

I recently loaded 2 tracked AFVs onto transport, decks were frozen and I had very little leeway either side before I would drop off the trailer. Skating in a 12 ton vehicle you have only had mere seconds of previous driving experience with is daunting, but over time becomes part of the overall experience of ownership of tracked MVs.

Needless to say, after reversing the first one onto a detachable gooseneck trailer and the hand signals from the numpty truckie were too little too late and my nerves starting to fray, I called it quits for the second one and drove it on front first but that put the vehicle back to front on the trailer.

You should have some handy spares after you gas axe all the timber winch kit.

Good luck


Robin

Hi phill, it's a bit naked isn't it. A good starting point though. Great fun to drive too. The chap I bought it from said it originally had a petrol radial in it. The MAN diesel sure sounds nice though. I'm hoping I may be able to buy some armour in victoria soon. Your offer is generous and if I'm unable to locally I may have to take you up on your offer. Thank you.

Hi Robin, it's not a way I wanted my first drive to be but now that I have done it I'm pretty pleased with myself. Now that my nerves have calmed I may be able to find the other gears! Looking forward to giving it a bit of the right foot.

Ryan,

I have sent you an invite to the e-mail address you use for this forum. PM me to let me know if that works.

Had to do some repairs on the weekend to get her running again. Nothing major, just a broken belt. Felt good working on it though.
She needs to be running and ready for a soon to be happening border raid.

Hi Anthony, hope to have pics and more info in about a week.
Recce has already been done. I'll need the pulling power of my tank for what's coming.
