While similar, the V-100 and Dragoon are not the same vehicle.

Glad you got it handled. That is the bell crank I was referring to. You should be good to go on shifting. Let me know when you want to do the carb swap. I have a Holley all set up I can make you a deal.

I've had similar experiences, some USAF guys, too. One guy drove 200 miles with his grand kids just to see it and show them. For that, I let him drive it around and give them the experience.

No laws in Cali (yet) regarding armor.

This is the Alvis "Scarab", a prototype built in late 90's for the British Army but never adopted. There are three different models, two are in private hands in the UK.

Thank you for your service.

Of course ANY armor is better than none. That is not the point. The point is some members, and law enforcement, have these doomsday fantasies regarding armor. They seem to imagine MBT protection from light armor that are beyond anything close to reality.

It might well be an accepted term but it is a corrupted term. High altitude air is low density, low humidity, and low pressure compared to sea level.

Thin air of high altitudes is a Low Density condition, not high. The Blackhawk pilot who sent me the video was recently station near where this occurred. He thinks the pilot will be charged, but just the pilot.

Some of you guys need to think a little more realistically regarding these light armor vehicles. .300WM, .338 Lapua, and of course any .50BMG will punch holes in these and keep going. A few Molotov Cocktails will take them out quite easily as well. And those are the readily available weapon...

Very very cool.

You can as long as you do not transmit. Damage will result if antenna is not tuned to freq. as well as being illegal without license.

I've got the matching shop manual...and I'm keepin it.

We got ours up to 9mpg with the 650 Edelbrock carb swap. That 350 Holley is sloppy.

And sometimes the size of such collections are far more rumor than fact. A few pieces can quickly become a large gaggle in very little time. As do the vehicles themselves. My teeny Ferret became a Sherman after just one parade. One town over, a halftrack and scout car became an entire armada...a...

You answered your own question...

If you want to go the WWII route for tracked armor, the T16 Universal Carrier is the only real choice for price, size and performance. Certainly the "Scorpion" of its day. But like Scorpions, these are hard to find for sale.

There are many states where tracked vehicles can be street legal. As for owning a real tank, as stated, the CVR(T)s are the only ones remotely practical for all the reasons previously mentioned. Certainly the easiest tracked armor to service. I know people who have gone the BATFE Form 1 route...
