It just needs a cannon or two to be complete

 



Ripsaw EV3-F4, 2020. A personal recreational tank produced by Howe & Howe is currently being offered by Hemmings Auctions. Based around a high-strength tubular steel exoskeleton, it is powered by an 800hp 6.6-litre Duramax turbo-diesel V8. The cabin is supported by air springs to isolate it from the forces encountered by the tracks.

  6. Awful lot of glass for a "tank". What's the old saying? "He who drives glass tanks shouldn't fire cannons" or something like that?:-).

    Look kewl though, so it's got that going for it. Which is nice:-P.

  7. Out in the middle of nowhere, totally alone and the main computer shuts down. As the old hydraulic guy at my former employer would say. "Notice how they back up electronics with mechanical, but never the other way around"!

  9. Uh, no.

    Recreational ATV, yes.
    Tank? Nyet.

    Wouldn't even stand up to a withering barrage from a Daisy Red Ryder and a milk carton of Golden BBs, let alone anything with more kinetic oomph.

    Better off with the genuine article.
    Even a Ferret Scout Car has more to recommend it.
