New Project for someone - TT lump in this??

[Sheefa]

Tempting. It would be great fun to drive around the local streets and ruck up at the local chav meets in this, accidently grinding against other chavvy parked vehicles.

Someone buy it :)

[m45sey]

would be nice to drive,
well i used to drive em every day for a living

but its not a tank and its not a semi automatic gearbox

and iv had one over 50mph before

if anyone buys it i can get you spares ;)

[snake]

its better on fuel than a supra with both turbos on boost !!!!!

[miko_supra]

it can hold 6 people so it's more practical that the supra

I got stuck behind a tank in Leeds city centre a few weeks ago on a Friday night. Rather an odd experience. I think one of the clubs must have hired it.

I used to drive these when i was in a recce troop, 6 people would be very tight indeed, its only really meant for 3!

1 driving
1 working the radio
1 Officer standing in the cupola pretending he knows where is going!!

[m45sey]

Why not just delimit the Jag lump that's already in it? :eyebrows:

I commanded a Spartan CVRT for a few years and when we were stationed at Bovington me and my driver went out on a driver training cruise to Poole. Was great fun pootling round all my old haunts.

Popped into my folks' place for a cuppa too. You should have seen my Dads face when we parked up in the driveway. :blink:

I think a TT lump would be a little low on torque to make that move ;)

On a side note, my neighbour (in Glos) has just got his WW2 Panzer running again :D Can't wait to get a drive in that!

[MrRalphMan]

Don't you need special tracks to drive on the roads?

[m45sey]

no, there all the same tracks, but it has to have the rubber on the track links,


plus you need a H licence to drive this

ha ha how quality would that be going for a night out with your mates and all rolling out at a club in that

Too right mate. It would be world class.

M45sey, how would you go about acquiring the H element of your drivers license? Is that a HGV qualification?

Daryl, you might be right about the torque, but the sound of a loud atmospheric BOV would probably scare a few people along with the screamer pipe of a single turbo conversion. I reckon a nice fat T88 will push it along nicely.........or two of them. :)

[ivan]

'H' is a vehicle steered by its tracks so no, it's nothing to do with HGV.

join the army and become a tank driver?

apply for it through dvla and im sure theres loads of places that can teach how to drive with tracks

There was a russian hind helicopter and a ballistic missile carrier/launcher on there a while ago.
