Tis Mr French's motor. He pops in here (afl)
now and then. He claims the bar grips let the side down but I happen to have
good information that suggests he really stopped to put the plates back on
the welsh dresser ;-)

Standard Ambi weighs just under 3 tons unladen, so i'd guess thats
about right. I'm just wondering wether it's got a compensator link
between the rear pair of springs (you know, one wheel up, one wheel
down, Scammel-style) and if not, wether it should have....

no and yes, ISTR. It's got 2x standard rear suspension. Dunno if a
compensator thing could be fitted, if so it'd probably improve its off-road
ability a bit.

I've seen it done on a 6x6 Series IIB FC at billing, had the two close
ends of the leaves on a each end of short bit (12") of box which was
pivoted in the centre. Havn't seen it in action, but information i
have from researching shows that such a link defenitly improves ride
quality, as well as elimitating braking difficulties.

Unless someone else has converted thier 101, I think it's safe to say
it's unique. Perhaps it's time to post this old chesnut again:

And before we have a repeat of last time, NO, it doesn't exist

I seem to have lost my picture of 2 101s joined back-to-back, with a cab at
each end.

There were no factory 101 6x6s made. There are a few conversions that
people have made, I know of three, the one David now has was built by
a chap called Kevin Winn, another in Spain (the 101 clubs Spanish rep)
and another in the South West UK somewhere - but that's a true beast,
with just about every mod that could be made...
