Hey Jeff

How's the Kid's CMP coming. Has he started restoring the box yet? I have my carrier engine out and am cleaning up the interior. Does a later engine fit in OK without modifying the oil pan?

Bill

Hi John, I rarely post on MLU (a few posts and photos in the Gun Park). If you're having an unveiling of your Stuart, I would love an invitation to join a group of CMP / MV enthusiasts. Alas, I have no carrier or CMP (none would fit in my condo's underground parking garage) just an '86 Ferrari 328GTS, but, as an army brat in the 50's-60's, grew up with many MV's in Canada and Germany and am always keen to look at them. Although I can't recall seeing any Stuarts in Canada or Germany in the 60's, the Belgian army unit stationed nearby our base in Germany was still using carriers, half-tracks, jeeps and deuce-and-half's from WW2. BTW, I passed on your molasses tip to a buddy who, having just sold his Ferrari 348, acquired a '36 Olds coupe and a '41 Packard two door. "Car guys" can have many diverse interests! Your tip might come in handy for him. Cheers, Jon in Vancouver - I could find my way to Surrey, being a former resident. And, you're right about having no spare time in retirement.

Ferrari? I feel a trade in the works! I will try to keep people posted on the Stuart and her eventual unveiling. It would be nice to do some type of event or open house where like minded enthusiasts could attend and enjoy but as you know there are many competing and "strong" personalities in the hobby here in BC. And at the risk of rustling feathers I pretty much keep to myself and avoid the politics of the local MV clubs. In fact, except on the MLU and at a select few local events...most people have no idea our little collection exists. Sometimes not the worst thing in the world...Let me see what I can come up with Jon..PM me when you have time

Trade? I think you would find the Ferrari's cross country performance unsatisfactory; simply no ground clearance. Armour and armaments are substandard as well. PM sent. Jon
