    Tank Driving Business?

    That actually sounds like a really smart idea. Once you grow it, you can add other "toys". One vehicle to consider if you have an off-road course to drive: Take something like an ole pickup and reverse the steering; turn right to go left, etc. One place in UK hand a Land Rover Series III setup...

    Tank Driving Business?

    Forget about a Sheridan. There are only one or two in private hands and no parts. A Chafee? $300K. M41, $200K. A Scorpion is $80-90K and difficult for any larger or tall person to enter and drive. Their gearbox can be easily abused and not cheap to repair. Parts are available but can be...

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    Very nice. Too bad you don't get to keep it.

    Tank Driving Business?

    In the US it is a problem having the population density to support it as in Europe. If located near enough to a population center to get business, then overhead costs are high. Out in the cheap, not enough people. Another big problem is insurance is much higher than Europe for such venture. We...

    Scorpion

    That is the US M56, a totally different Scorpion than the British Alvis CVR(T).

    Is that a question or a statement? ?? Hmm? (?)

    Scorpion

    Stuart, a little out of touch on pricing; the last few really nice ones I've seen sold for over $75K. KAA-CHING

    Scorpion

    I've had three. Take the advice of getting a good one up front. Parts are available but expensive and Form 6 required on each big shipment. There's a Belgian one listed on Khaki Corps. right now. About 15 miles from me in SW Ohio.

    New V-100

    A V-100s value depends upon the model, condition, paperwork- is it titled and legally owned?- and how complete and original it is. We would need to see detailed photos.

    HMMWV Brush Truck Tragedy

    They forgot a lot more than a relief valve. There was enough stored pressure to have overwhelmed a relief valve and still failed as it did. This was a death trap and someone should be in jail for it.

    new here, I want a tank

    I second the suggestion of a Ferret to get started. Dozens of good reasons why. Mostly, you have to keep it fun and Ferrets are fun. I've done the whole route, Ferrets, Foxes, V-100s, Scorpions, T-55, Stewart, 18 others, a Ferret is the way to go.

    Ebay will pull tanks if they are reported as technically they are an Ebay banned item.

    M-5 Stuart through White castle drive through.

    He needs to work on that accent. Pretty pitiful. It would be funnier if he were from Brooklyn.

    Sold a 1031, titling issues with new buyer, need advise.

    This would be the case in Ohio for sure. State law requires a title. Is CA the same?

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    "Buran" flew one mission, unmanned, in 1988 into orbit. There were three built. One was fitted with jet engines and flew like an airplane for testing.

    MVPA Show in Huntsville, AL

    You don't know crammed unless you went to the Portland show in 08. That was ridiculous. And they HAD the room.

    F-35B on the USS Wasp..

    An EMP of any strength to do any damage outside a lab requires a nuclear detonation. You're dreaming at $10k. I do agree there will never be enough of these built to offer much of a defense. "Quantity has a quality all it's own." V.I. Lenin
