I bet you don't have to do anything you don't want to do in one of those

I know there are these mad collector people out there who will be on the list for those I am sure of it. The description on the guns was a bit disturbing though, as if they were not meant for casual metalheads, but for actual war use. Maybe the US government will be interested, since they will be after second hand for their next war, since they won't be able to afford new anymore.

Chap I know bought an ex-Soviet mobile rocket launcher for extreme off-roading.
Had to keep it in Belgium as the tax for it in the UK was horrendous.
IIRC he paid peanuts for it and the spec was awesome incl. lots of titanium parts plus a huge turbo engine - it motored as well!
There are toys and there are big toys!
Cheers, Pewe

I'm with you there T66. A Zil 131 box as a camper van beats a VW Jesus bus every time.

Nah.. I want the URAL Command / Comm Centre truck. Ten one complete with a serious Radio transmitter and a 100ft mast.

Actually the full mobile comms centre comes in 3 Ural trucks. They are like 6 ton, 6x6 wheel drive trucks on the lines of that ZIL shown!
They have a set at the imperial War Museum at Duxford, (Mate of mine helps out in the vehicle part of the Museum there)

I just go and drool ocasionally!
