I don't see anything from 1972 to 1982 except for some upgrades, could it have sat in a compound? As well in 1982 it shows 161 SL or 16/SL. I'm not sure what that stands for. In 1985 it was in the depot at Ludgershall but it has DOE in red...any idea what DOE stands for?

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,
16th/5th Lancers :)

Congratulations on becoming an owner and investing in your retirement.

I am surprised that Eastern Ontario is not sinking a little bit with the weight of Ferrets at this end of the province.

There are now 6 owned this side of Belleville, hopefully we can get all of them running and together in one place this year.

Love the smell of 80/90 weight in the morning!

Don't you mean OEP240?

Thanks...guess it was a 5 not an S then :)

Any idea what DOE stands for?

We'll end up on a watch list if we get any more, lol!

If all goes well there will be a seventh just north of us as well.

I think I am already on someone's list :thup2:

Anyone for a hilltop tour?

Robin

Not a hilltop tour but maybe a trail ride....
 

I'm sure I am not the only one with a place to drive, maybe somebody needs to get a look at some trails, not too far away, for some good driver training. I have mine working good and hopefully a few others would join in for a drive. Not looking to get muddy, if we did then Robin might need to bring a CVRT for recovery..... An old railway line would be good, just couldn't trust the bridges.... Maybe Foxborough north to Madoc? I know that old railway line gets good ATV and UTV use all summer. Or Picton to Trenton rail line? Not sure about that one though. Give me a few years and my farm will have a good trail to drive on, not long enough yet. Need to connect a few trails.

Just a thought.

Ferret Vehicle History Cards
 

Hi Ryan. Congratulations on becoming a Ferret owner. I made contact with a fellow on the Historic Military vehicles forum and he was able to do a full translation/interpretation of the vehicle history cards for my Ferret. Shall send you a pm with his contact info. I like Robins idea of getting a bunch of Ferrets together for a rally/gathering. Not sure how easy that would be if vehicles are located in different areas but maybe something could be figured out.
Cheers, Terry.
