Found this little piece of artillery on ebay. I'll give up my back seat, I want one of these. :shock:

Cool toy 8) I used to occasionally accompany my mom to estate auctions and know some toys require big boy money :!:

Well, for those following this stupid thread, it was described as "a little artillery" appropriately. Just looking at this toy, if it were my M151, his feet would be generally pivoting on my differential. :lol: It has to be imagination to build a revolving turret onto a jeep platform, right? Seems a 90 degree spin would cause the suspension to make a left or right turn in the process, wouldn't it? But if it had horizontal grill slots, I'd be the high bidder. :D

I will also note that the buyer paid nearly one hundred American dollars for it with shipping, way to go seller. It also has amber headlights, so I have to assume Mr Dibbles was somehow involved with this. :P

Okay so I am a year late reading this thread (wasn't here last year!). Got a good laugh from this one Rain :lol: Being a civilian I can't help but wonder if one fired both of those guns at the same time, wouldn't that mutt take a flying leep :?: :?: :lol: :lol: My neighbor had a break in attempt last night, maybe I should set one of those in the front yard :lol:

Nope it wasn't me... but you're right about my penchant for amber headlamps. My next Mutt will sport amber too 8)

Mr. D, I have amber lights for my Mutt now. Quite an impression when I go down the street. Seabee
