Guest WALFY Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Strange you mention BFGs'. I was in ABRO the other day and most of the vehicles in there for repair had them fitted before they get sent back to their units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes. Went in there on the scrounge for a few bits and came out with SFA. You could get blood out of a stone easier than getting anything out of those bloody civvys :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get blood out of a stone easier than getting anything out of those bloody civvys :D Is that ABRO that used to be 27 dist workshops? we used to go in there in the summer, with door tops off of the 110's "for ventilation", and come out with a pait of door tops fitted, from, ahem, the "waiting for work" compound.... the bloody gate civvy guards used to check the back of our trucks as we left as well! (not just us, everyone!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Not sure if it was 27 or not. It's the place on Imber Road, Warminster. Blokes on the gate gave my truck a strange look when I pulled up. Don't know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 One of the rarer full hardtop radio versions too, first one I've seen, since Pinzgauer have been in service, thier just a bit shorter than a standard 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Not sure if it was 27 or not. It's the place on Imber Road, Warminster. yeah, thats the place. some really lovely interesting bits of kit in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You could check the last shires seven sisters thread from when we took a couple of 6x6's to play with... The tyres are 285/75 BFGs.... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The red one in the video looks suspiciously familiar..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Did I read correctly at the end of the video that Pinzgauer are now part of the Stewart and Stevenson group? isn't that the same company that purchased the production license to build the LandRover based Esarco 6 and 8 wheel drive vehicles ? bill.

Mark Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Stewart and Stevenson and therefore Pinzgauer are both part of Armor Holdings, who are american... Armor holdings recently got bought out by BAe So I guess they are back british again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Stewart and Stevenson and therefore Pinzgauer are both part of Armor Holdings, who are american... Armor holdings recently got bought out by BAe So I guess they are back british again... I do wonder sometimes at the short sightedness of the management of BAE systems. Do they really know what they are doing ? After all they offloaded LandRover, with possibly the widest established links to military forces of any vehicle manufacturer throughout the world, and with a product that in those days still had potential to be developed into a very good universal military vehicle. A good exmple is the Australian Army fleet of LandRover based 4x4 and 6x6 trucks. Unless the crosscountry performance of the Pinzgauer has been considerably improved over the old air cooled models I am familiar withthen I can't forsee too many takers outside of the British forces.
