    My step dad was a mechanic in the army. I remember him rolling up for lunch at our comuter belt village home in a ferret in Detling, Kent 1970s. I suppose he thought 'I've fixed it, it needs a road test and I'm hungry.' RIP Dad.

      Bloody hell! I did the same. I'd done an oil change and simply HAD to bed it in so pulled up outside my girlfriend's house and took her for a ride! So pleased to know I wasn't the only one. Happy days, happy memories. It doesn't matter how much money you have, you can't buy those moments. Huzza!

    Smashing video. I was one of those Servicemen you mentioned. I'm in my 60's now, but the sound of that engine takes me back to being 18! They were a bugger to drive in 'weather': in winter you froze from the head down. It was a right twat going down an icey incline due to the weight in the back! You should try corkscrewing in one of these. Still, every day should be a lesson. Anyhoo, good to see one in good nick and, obviously, appreciated. Onwards and upwards my friend. Mike

    Was the turret useful for throwing boomerangs or is that where the Mk1 shone?

    The Mark 1/2 has the cupola (box turret) and the last mark used Swingfire missles. AFAIK Jordan only recently got rid of its last ferrets.

    It's so weird how the steering wheel is slanted, probably the only way the driver can get into his seat

    • @ptonpc
      @ptonpc 2 года назад +1

      The glacis plate is sloped so it's the only way it would fit without making the vehicle too long. It's pretty easy to get used to.

      They were designed to be road legal from the start.

    • @ptonpc
      @ptonpc 2 года назад +1

      Ukraine didn't have any. Nowadays it would be outdated.
