The ultimate offroader
Ralph:
I have got the ultimate offroad toy!!!!
Shes an 8 wheel drive Argocat and it awesome. lol
It will go anywhere. Last nite came down a bank so steep i was stood up on the dashboard!
Went up said bank which is at a 50 degree angle then had to have a few cans of carling before coming back down!
There just aint nothing that will stop it, i went up to a six foot chain link fence it just climbed half way up bent the fence over and through i went.lol All this taking place on my own land mind you.
blackbob:
have you tried swimming in it yet
but check the drive shaft seals at the body first :lol: :lol:
Ralph:
I am taking it to water on saturday, maybe the last time i see it if it sinks!!!
I picked it up off a farmer he had two so there is still one left.
It was what you call a bit of a barn find he has got more than 70 vintage tractors 15 vintage cars only 2 old landys, every concievable piece of farm machinery you can think of old motorcycles. He said to me if its old its in there! All this stuff was in 2 of the biggest barns i have ever seen and he was deffo the nicest old farmer i have ever met.
He is 95 but still sharp as a knife!

Out of interest, how much does he want for the second one? Not that it'd be practical in Bagshot, I'm just nosey.
You're lucky to have your own land to use that sort of thing!
Ralph:
I would say around a grand would buy it which is really cheap. I got mine for six hundred with a naff engine but i had a new v twin here to put in it. The one he has left has a brand new never been started v twin engine in which is a grand to buy on its own.
