On Sunday I got the chance to drive a M3 Scout Car. There were only
two things I did not like about driving it, and perhaps the list can help
with these. The owner asked me to post this as to possibly correct these
problems.
Problem number one: Heat Build-up. After driving the Scout car for about
15 min, the driver's area heats up to "unsafe" levels (it gets D**N
hot in there) During WW II they used Absestos to shield the
passenger compartment from the engine but what would be a good
and safe alternative to use today.
Problem Number Two: Shifting into Third or Fourth. It sometimes simply
wont go. Is this common or is there a real problem here. The owner
heard
that this is just one of the joys of owning a scout car.
Thank you for your help in these matters. And don't forget to mark your
calanders for the 2nd annual Military Vehicle Show in Appleton, WI on Sept.
12&13. (E-mail me for more innfo if interested.)
