If you could have any AFV from WW II as a lawn orniment in front of your home/condo or apt building, which one would you want? Eric Maietta

Does it have to be a vehicle? In that case, a Möbelwagen in ready position.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Belisarius [B]Does it have to be a vehicle? In that case, a Möbelwagen in ready position. [/B][/QUOTE] Very good choice. Since it has an open top you can fill it with dirt and plant ornamental shrubs in it too. ;) :rolleyes:

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

Ferdinand maybe?

Capt. Pixel -> (7/4/2003 6:24:58 AM)
a 105mm howitzer aimed right at the driveway. We don't need no steenkin' flowers. :D

Huffy -> (7/4/2003 6:29:46 AM)
I think a .....Sherman .

I'd put the "big katz" in my yard to scare away thieves....... and shermans. ;) Panther G and a King Tiger would make wonderful yard statues.

For the lawn, I think an M3 half-track would make a great clubhouse for the kids... But for the driveway I think a Puma would make those morning commutes much more fun. ;)

If you put a sherman in your yard you could barbeque for the neighborhood on it.:p

Irinami -> (7/4/2003 10:20:09 AM)
MG42... I only have a 3-man porch, a hedge in front of it, and a 1-foot strip of grass in front of that. ;)

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 Eric Maietta

[QUOTE]Originally posted by AbsntMndedProf Well, if you did have a lawn big enough, what would you have? [/B][/QUOTE] 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

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Irinami [B]SdKfz 231 8-Rad. [/B][/QUOTE] I must agree, that would be a great vehicle to have for driving around town and country... SUV.. hah... I've got my AC [B][QUOTE] It would be on blocks, because I'd be trying to mount a modern engine in there.

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]

stevemk1a -> (7/5/2003 1:31:15 PM)
OK ... here's the Skoda Radschlepper Ost ( in all it's glory! )

LordCucumber -> (7/5/2003 6:43:12 PM)
LOL.. that looks like a giant Tonka truck, Willy! COOL!

AbsntMndedProf -> (7/5/2003 8:20:01 PM)
Nice vehicle! If you really want to make the folks at the airport nervous, how about mounting a 37mm Flak 43 L/89 on it? :D:D Eric Maietta

Bernie -> Re: Re: WW II Lawn Ornament: (7/5/2003 9:27:51 PM)
[QUOTE]Originally posted by M4 Jess [B]Eric, is there really any reason for me to answer this question?:rolleyes: Jess [/B][/QUOTE] Well... Yeah.... Maybe you might want a blasted Tiger... Sort of as the armored version of a "No Trespassing" sign. :)

AbsntMndedProf -> (7/5/2003 10:24:52 PM)
Wouldn't a 'Long Tom' 155mm cannon be a good 'no trespassing' sign? [IMG]http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/155mm-long-tom.jpg[/IMG] :D:D Eric Maietta

fullmetaljacko -> (7/6/2003 2:24:20 AM)
But then the neighborhood would wonder if He's only compensating for something else.. :p

Huffy -> (7/6/2003 9:43:04 AM)
YEA!! I agree..LONG TOM.......that will do it...with a .50 cal sniper rifle with night vision..and 5 round clip..cool combo...

Jim1954 -> (7/6/2003 7:59:02 PM)
Watch out at WBW's house. There will be multiple belts of mines! :D :D
