Yep
 

And that is why, as a 6’6, 140kg, size 13 boot wearing Veteran and restorer I have no CMPs (or Carriers) anymore...

It’s a real shame but even my Jeep and Ferrets are a challenge

We can put the blame on Sid Swallow, he was the Ford Canada design engineer !

I have had a few challenging moments in the cab 11 C8 with the pedals. It is a trap for novice CMP drivers.

I watched some of Chieftain's talk about the Marmon-Herrington tanks 'The worst tank you ever heard of' The trial tank report he was reading pointed to engine problems which actually wasn't a inherent design issue , it was a case of bad maintenance.

F15s
 

Hi Mike,

You might recall I used to have a couple of little F15s on the farm. Doubt I ever could have driven them safely.

I preferred my old faithful Chev C60Ls

Try his Sentinel Video
 

Mike,

Watch his analysis of the inside of the Sentinel turret. It's .... interesting. :bang:
