In that case, a Möbelwagen in ready position.

Very good choice. Since it has an open top you can fill it with dirt and plant ornamental shrubs in it too. ;) :rolleyes:

I could use the inside as a toolshed annex mushroom cave. I'd make a nice fountain springing forth from it's barrel too.

But for the driveway I think a Puma would make those morning commutes much more fun. ;)

I only have a 3-man porch, a hedge in front of it, and a 1-foot strip of grass in front of that. ;)

Well, if you did have a lawn big enough, what would you have?

My apt building has about the same 'lawn' in front as your place. If I had a lawn big enough, I think I'd like a Greyhound AC.

I remember reading about someone in California who fixed one up to rent out as a limo. It had carpeting, a stereo, and all the fixin's inside. Now that's what I'd want for a limo if and when I get married! :D:D

SdKfz 231 8-Rad. It would be on blocks, because I'd be trying to mount a modern engine in there. Well, and because I'm in the South. :D

Would you need double the usual number of cinder blocks?

Status: offline 		I'm going to have to look far and wide for my ideal lawn ornament ... it has to be practical, decorative, and fit on my small lawn. After careful consideration, I have selected a strange combination - a Radschlepper Ost (you know... the goofy truck with the REALLY big wheels) with a 20mm Flakvierling mounted in the back! Why such a monstrosity? Well...

- Decorative: Such a goofy combo will elicit interest and awe in passers by, and cement my reputation as a WWII nut, and an all-around crackpot!

-Practicality (1): We get A LOT of snow here, and the local road clearing equipment usually places enourmous berms of it in front of my poor little 4cyl. work to home 'beater' car ... as alternative transport (with a new, modern supercharged motor) Radschlepper has RAMMMING power! :D

-Practicality (2): I am in the flightpath of my local airport .... a quad 20mm Flak in the front yard may change this !! :eek: (or at least make them nervous)

-Historical Significance: Obviously, it's the precursor to all modern Monster Trucks ... giving me lots of cred. in my Redneck neighbourhood! he he he ...

[SIZE=1]now i just have to find one ...[/SIZE]

Well... Yeah....

Maybe you might want a blasted Tiger... Sort of as the armored version of a "No Trespassing" sign. :)
