aswayze drove right up on a sqaud of guys in the 2.5 and they never heard him coming. My ferret could do the same tihng, you just have to think quiet, low rpms, low speed, they can be quite tactical.
The east germans and the russains know the wizzy sound of a ferret from quite a far. but when i...
mine has a feature found on most old detroit motors. it coats the under side of the chassis with a rust preventative. and keeps the weeds from growing under the front of thruck when parked in grass. the down side is that has to be refilled with oil quite often.

definately handy when a partiular person runs his duece out of fuel n the side of the highway, puts the 5 gallons in the tank he has in a gerry can, cranks it til the batteris run down and now needs to have his crappy 6tl (rear bull **** assed lawnmower) batteries jump started. :D now thas funny...
a few quick pics of ELMO with the bed moved, the ew fuel tnaks on, and the gensets mounted. still need an 800 series hood to do the front end work. hard top might be in the near future too.
