Show your Armoured Fighting Vehicles!

[Rsmacker]

Well, we've had threads for people to show their toys - guns, quads, motorbikes, cars etc, but I'm afraid they are all gay.

Here's some toys to have REAL fun with:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present, some wholly unsuitable vehicles that have no place in "ordinary" society......which is why my brother collects them.

1. A field, near my home, one Summer.
Some military vehicles, no longer property of the MOD.


1. My little bruv, playing with his Striker, Mobile Missile Launcher. I was inside it at this point, playing the fool (surprise surprise), by farting and then loudly asking in a silly voice whodunnit, much to the astonishment of members of the public who were expecting to see a serious static display, not listen to some anonymous idiot joking about gas attacks. That is why my bruv doesn't normally let me anywhere near his toys.



3. Right. Who wants some? Come on then!

[Rsmacker]

4. Um, OK, yeah, you have the parking space, I'm not going to argue.


5. Off to liquidate a local village. Or something. Note the little nutters in the back of vehicle in front, they are going to grow up to be bloodthirsty ear-collectors. Hurrah!



6. Yeah yeah, boooo-rring. It's the most natural thing in the world to see a column of AFVs of various vintage and nationality driving through a nice English country village.

This is what he turns up to Sunday lunch at Mum & Dad's house in - his Ferret. (I'm not allowed to go in it for calling it a Chutney Ferret. He's a humourless bastard)



I've begged and pleaded for him to paint it black, weld a few extra plates on it to make it look like a Panzer Mk1, then he can drive me round town in full Waffen SS officer's gear with a big swastika on the back, but he won't. He really is no fun, I think that would be a hoot to turn up at the boozer like that, what do you reckon?

I rekon its the coolest shit ever. I love seeing those meetings on the tv down here, a worthy nutty pursuit imo!

Yeah, you can tell everyone that you came in your little tank and that you have something in your trousers for them.

[SEEGERMANY]

Half those kids look about as excited as if they had just pooped in their trousers.

[Rsmacker]

They were probably pissed up on Alcopops. Easily bored, kids. They are all keen to have a go in a tank, but when you tell them you can't crash through some cottage wall and grind the occupants beneath your tracks, whilst firng machine guns at the neighbours and calling for air support, they lose interest really quickly.

Mind you, so did I.

I pulled one little moony at the residents and you'd think I'd shot all their cattle..........

Edit. Those kids are with their Mummy, and you know how shitty things are when she is about, she won't let you piss over the side, or call people wankers, or throw the fat kid off the back etc. You have to sit down and be sensible (difficult when the twat in the Striker behind is fighting with his little bruv over dropping farts inside the vehicle)

It's not mine ; I'd mentioned the neighboring county has a tank, unfortunately I can't find a pic(I may drive down there this afternoon and take a pic). However here's AFV from another neighboring county !




Cobb police have a new tank. The vehicle is being driven by Detective Steve Brawner as Sgt. Lester Maddox directs him into position. Cobb County police unveil its new crime-fighting machine, The L.A.V. 300 (Light Armored Vehicle) at Marietta Square on Saturday

EDIT; Sadly I've no armoured vehicles of my own.

Awesome wheels (and tracks) there. Love the Ferret.

Me too man, that thing is a beast!
Wonder how many people it holds?

Probably not many. They are pretty damn small. When I lived in Calgary, a surplus warehouse had about 30 ex-Canadian army Ferrets sitting out back. I was extremely surprised at the diminutive size of them.

We have a guy in Portola Valley that has a huge collection of armored vehicles.

I want a German King Tiger or even a regular Tiger. If your brother is the same guy I heard about in the UK didnt he just get a Tiger tank he is restoring?

I always dreamed of owning my own scud launcher and freaking people out with rambom launches with random suprises inside the warheads. Very verstile stuff that SCUD launcher.

Do you mind if I repost some of the pics of some of the armored vehicles at another military forum I frequent? I will be the coolest guy over there for a day.

That's not my brother that got the Tiger, but I believe it's being restored not far from here. Very very rare things, though now and again they pull them out of bogs in Russia.

The Ferret holds 2 people, I think, and there's a few of them about. Little bruv is part of a group who restore Alvis vehicles, he's even done TV and film work where they want passing footage of military vehicles. A TV co did the Tony Blair story and apparently the BBC wanted serious bread to use their footage of military vehicles being deployed outside Heathrow (Blair's little stunt)/ It was cheaper to get the Alvis guys to drive their stuff past Cov airport and film that, it was only on screen for a matter of seconds, no-one would be able to tell it wasn't Heathrow. Nice work if you can get it!

Use the pics (if that's ok with Jayster.) by all means. I don't think my bruv has even seen them, so if you get any flak from people wanting to know where you stole the pics, tell them to fuck off and suck your hairy balls. (He'll know I had something to do with it then!)
