Subject:      you say you wanna drive something SAFE???   :)

Say you want to feel Totally Safe as you drive down the highway?? Sometimes you'd REALLY like to intimidate those other drivers??? ... :)

this one is especially for Bill Killian ... :)

from Alabama/Georgia Cycle Boat & RV Trader magazine, Dec. 19, 1995 FOR SALE: British Ferret, 4x4, Rolls Royce 6-cyl., only 1100 mi., like new, street legal, 55 mph, crews 2-3, will deliver. $16,000 obo or trade for RV, camper w/slide-out, backhoe. (601) 544-3224

not big enough??? want more wheels??? :) FOR SALE: British Saracen APC, 6x6, Rolls Royce 8-cyl., only 1600 mi., crews 11, street legal, $18,000 obo or trade RV or camper w/slide-out. (601) 544-3224

now, for the already-confused bunch of you, these are Armored Cars from the British Army. :) the first one is a "little" 4-wheel job, with a machine gun turret on top, and weighs probably, oh, 5 or 6 tonnes. :) gets about 4 miles/gallon, i think. maybe a tad more on the highway.

the second is a larger 6-wheel Armored Personnel Carrier. sort of a medium truck, with an attitude. :) it also has a machine gun turret on top. might be lucky to get 1-2 miles/gallon.

Happy Holidays to all. :) unca joel
