Well done Ben, I did mine in a digger. I guess the rules are quite different

It's a great feeling Ben, to get that one out the way. I managed mine about 10 years ago, on private land in a digger. Mainly I think because the guy at Driver and Standards agency here in Dorset didn't seem to know much about it and was quite sympathetic to my cause. I did promise him I wouldn't take a main battle tank through the centre of Bournemouth........Of course I lied, if I ever get the chance!! Ron

The plan was to do the test on the airfield, apparently now you have to drive on a road where you are likely to encounter traffic, we did, lots!
I put the wireless battery box, axle cover and rear mudguards on, radiator went back in but I need to double check the cam is set properly before I plumb it in. The throttle has had the rods made and fitted, carb is back on, engine tie rods, fuel tank cross over back in and some front compartment details. I hope to get the last of the engine sorted, front mudguards fitted and the wiring next week. With some luck it might make a noise and perhaps move about a little.

Cheers. I'm trying to do the Scout Justice, it deserves it i think.
I've added a video that Shaun sent of me driving the carrier on yesterdays post. Good day to be playing with tracked vehicles. I wish I'd taken a video at the end of the day when Shaun showed me how it should be done but i was too busy having a good time. We should have taken Rick's Cromwell for a spin too ;-)
