Sad to hear that. I just drove Augdog64s BPzV today with a couple friends who had never ridden in armor before. They had a great time and I got a bit reacquainted with the wonderful roaring speedster. Frank

Not sure what you mean.....it would be possible to come up with a screwier layout for a shift pattern but I'm not sure how. I have a tough time remembering that 4 and 5 are really oddly placed too. Blipping the throttle helps with shifting down quite a bit. Staying off the clutch is a good idea...

What an awesome sound that engine makes. I love driving these things too. Who was driving in the video? Frank

Where are you exactly? We are in eastern indiana and have a few BMP's. To the best of my knowledge the transmission is shifted manually as Neil noted but the clutch and brakes are air operated. If you stop the engine you cannot get it out of gear unless its level and no load. There is a lever...

2 of the BMP's here have guages marked in Kg/cm 2 while the other is not marked....other than using the same scale as the others. The T34 is marked in atmospheres. As it turns out they are all green lined at 150 and 150 Atmo's is 2201 psi while 150 Kg/cm2 is 2133psi. Not a huge difference at the...

We're off to london tomorrow(monday).....should have a working phone number when we get there. I'll PM it to you Neil when we get in. We'll get hooked up somehow. See ya wednesday. Frank

Thanks for the tip Robo. We've been trying for some time to get a T72 out of Cz but without much luck. Seems no one wants to get the paperwork done for US sales. Not sure what our plans are yet Neil. We well have a guide along and will probably hit some other stuff besides the W&P show. We're...

As this will be our first time there at the show we'll be wandering aimlessly trying to find things. We may have a seasoned show vet with us though to help out. As for uniforms and gear I'm afraid all we've got is the tanker helmets from the BMP's and T55 and we'd probably be arrested by TSA if...

Looks like its unofficially offical.....Dave and Frank got reservations for flights, hotel and rental car for beltring. Might try to hit some museums and stuff too. I guess we'll see ya there Neil. Frank

In the US we are required to cut the receiver into 4 pieces with a torch and either torch cut the barrel into 3 pieces or drill holes in the chamber and 2 other critical locations. At that point its no longer considered to be a firearm (obviously) and it can be imported using the normal forms...

I've been reading through the manual you have posted on your site and wow, its much more extensive than any we've got. We've been trying to figure out what switches, knobs and doodads are for and they're all in your manual where they were glossed over in the US army version. In fact, the US Army...

Thanks Neil, I am aware of the cover for the preheater and how it works....the BPzV is slightly different since there isn't access to the floor next to the turret. It has the lever to open and close the preheater cover on the top armor just outside the turret. In any case I'd rather have more...

I'd like to say that Neil has it pretty well covered and just add a few notes of my own. I'm helping AugDog take care of his BMP's and we have had to do a little work here and there. As Neil noted the front deck lifts up on hinges and allows access to almost the entire engine/drivetrain and...
