Sad to hear that. I just drove Augdog64s BPzV today with a couple friends who had never ridden in armor before. They had a great time and I got a bit reacquainted with the wonderful roaring speedster. Frank

Not sure what you mean.....it would be possible to come up with a screwier layout for a shift pattern but I'm not sure how. I have a tough time remembering that 4 and 5 are really oddly placed too. Blipping the throttle helps with shifting down quite a bit. Staying off the clutch is a good idea...

What an awesome sound that engine makes. I love driving these things too. Who was driving in the video? Frank

We tried making a reasonable suggestion to BATF concerning demil on a tank gun being imported and they never even replied. They just sent the standard sheet to show what was to be done. Cut the breechring in half with a torch, cut a hole in the high pressure area of the chamber with a torch with...

Just blasted through Markleville this afternoon on the way to indy. There are a few vehicles not too far off, augdog1964 is a bit east of you near richmond and has a few trucks and some tanks. I've seen a few trucks on the east side of Muncie....a friend owns at least one of them. I see a few...

Apparently when you become a common carrier you give up any and all of these constitutional rights where it concerns your cargo. They can't search the cab ( I don't think) but they can examine the cargo without any violations or probably cause just because its there.

You have to realize the belly wheels are not primary propulsion. They are there only to help out in places where the belly might otherwise drag on the ground or over other objects (trees, rocks etc). For that reason they are a pretty good idea and with the wheel base of the BRDM 2 you might...

These comments are commonly made by folks who have no experience with what they're talking about. I have flying time in the Cub and riding time in a Storch and they are not equal in utility. If you're talking about Artillery forward observation then its possible you could say the cub would do...

Hanna Reitsch was truly a remarkable pilot. She was one of if not The first helicopter pilots and as such would be self taught. She flew just about everything that flew at the time and did some remarkable flights that weren't publicised much here due to the evil nazi taint. Regardless of her...

I'll try to answer this clearly..... The storch I flew in was a Morain Saulnier built plane from 1945 and it had the original Argus aircooled inverted V8 engine. Once they used those engines up they went to a variety of different engines. So basically the plane I rode in was just like the German...

Moraine Saulnier of France put the planes into production sometime during the war because Fiesler had to build components for the ME109s and also designed and built the buzz bomb V-1. Many of the planes built in france survived the war and they continued production postwar with alternate engines...

Pretty much anything is doable with enough time, effort and cash. The question is will you gain enough to make it worth the trouble. With the installed cooler you won't be able to drag race perhaps but as previously noted having intake air temps of 200 deg F is a lot better than 300-400 deg F...

Chemical cooling is a good idea and has been done. Our indycar engines at one point (2001 or so????) used another injector spraying into the turbo outlet before the intake plenum. The methanol evaporating into this flow dropped the charge temp enough to be useful and added a few HP to the...

To the best of my knowledge the 8V92T series has an aftercooler which is also known as an Intercooler. I have no idea what an inner cooler is..... The aftercooler runs the compressed air from the turbo and mechanical blower through a heat exchanger which is cooled by the liquid coolant from the...

Lots of tanks with dozer blade attachments out there. T72, T55, Chieftain and others I've seen. Not sure whether they are any better or worse than an actual dozer. Probably having more weight would help so who knows....I don't think you'd screw up a tank with a dozer blade. Might help clear a...

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a good tank for $85K in the US. Wangs issues with his 55 aren't so much cost but value for cost. There are others out there in much better condition but your limit on price is going to make it tough for you to buy one. If you look overseas right now for a...

120mm rifled gun using bag charge and separate loading of projectile. Bore scope may be a little small.... Frank

Going by the video it appears the driver learned quick about reversed steering when going backwards....don't forget neutral steer either. That can create some big messes in tight spots. I learned about that backing off the trailer though no damage resulted. **** limeys and their funky gearboxes...

Been a long time since I was at tower park.....used to work at the windmill blade factory on E Vine st across the street from the model airfield. That was back in the 80's. Good to see some tracks running in lodi. Never thought I'd see anything like that there. Frank

Dave didn't get into some of the details on the Mk48 that I saw from the ground. At one point the idiot trucker we were pulling out of the mud locked all the brakes and Dave didn't notice. He pulled the guy about 6 ft with all the brakes locked before he noticed me waving him to stop. I realize...
