Well, a buddy of mine has decided to part with his Saracen, and one of the many vehicles that he wants to replace it with is a M35 (of which I just happen to have a couple So trying to work a deal to use a M35 as down payment

 

[oifvet23]

we have a saracen, i think its cool but the steering is alittle hard to get used to, hey diesel why dont you give me one of those vehicles you dont drive so much anymore...

I'd buy a M21 or Ferret just for kicks! How fun would that be?

I was looking at that tracked thing that the Marines use at our cold-weather school in Northern CA on ebay... I just don't know how I'd get it to the ranch.

Damn, once it was there, that'd be a blast

If santa is reading, here is my highly-difficult-to-move-around wishlist:

I would love a M8 or M20. An LVT or a armored dragon wagon would also make me smile. And a T34... oh my.

Not that I am not happy with my toys, one of those would just add a little spring to my step.

I am curious DrF, what is the tracked marine vehicle you ar referring too? Happen to know a name or number?

Ah I remember it was a hagglunds BV206.... REALLY cool little thing and it went anywhere!

I loved the heated compartments. It was split in the middle to help turning, and the rear was a huge troop/cargo area.

 

[m3a1_ht]

I'll look it up. Thanks!

Are the tracks on the rear section powered? Almost on the order of a tracked gamma goat!

Hagglunds

There's a deer ranch on route 177 in the TugHill N.Y. area that has a few of these. They use them to give winter tours.(on my list of things to do)They also have several other military vehicles on the ranch! There are hundreds of deer in fenced in areas for a couple of miles(people slow down to see them on there way by). I slow down or even pull over to gawk at the BIG GREEN STUFF!

Last time we went down to Cold War Remarketing, I think Patrick Robb had both a Ferret AND a Hagglund.

But that was a few weeks ago. I think JR climbed all over a Saracen also, but my memory is a bit week.

We should go back out there and just look around again.
