Need help finding information...

[MacArther]

Can anyone find pictures and specifications (armor, weapons, top speed, range, etc.) for the Staghound Mk III? I would have posted this in another area, but this seemed to be the only place that would fit the bill of non-aviation related pictures.

PS Yes I did use google and yahoo, but I am currently on my school computer, which blocks the pages for "Adult content" or "weapontry". Grrr, stupid school cpus!

Thanks Gnomey!! Between this and the SDKFZ 234/2 Puma, I cant decide what I should buy for my first car!

 

[Gnomey]

No problem. Personally I would take the Puma, it is much cooler than the Staghound.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeahy i agree, as far as armoured cars go you're not gonna get much cooler than the Puma.......

 

[Henk]

I have never heard of the Puma, does anyone have a pic for me please?

That Staghound appears to be the perfect runabout for Los Angeles commuters!

 

[Henk]

I would love to have a tank to be able to run over all the idiots that can not drive here.

[Henk]

Thanks Gnomey for the pics. Oh come to mamma. She is a beut.

Henk

 

[Gnomey]

No problem.

I would love to build a replica of a King Tiger, but a static one. I wish I had the money, but it must be great to build your own one and be able to drive it around.

I can just imagine it... on a highway in America "Hey!! Get out of the way!! What? You don't want to?! Fine, I'll move you, load the shell honey..."

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that Puma looks even cooler in desert colours, sand yellow all over.....

Oh yes, that would be nice.

[Gnomey]

Be more useful in South Africa though, especially in Jo'burg...

 

[Henk]

Yes, those Sun of a birches can not drive for shit. I will drive over all those TAXIS that cause all the shit. Pretoria ( oh sorry the stupid assholes of a government calls it now POLEKWANE ) is way nicer place than Joburg, only thing is it is very hot.

Have you been to South Africa Gnomey?

Henk

 

[Gnomey]

Nope, might go this summer. I have been to Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya and my dad has been to Jo'burg. In Africa no matter where you are the people cannot drive (or necessarily know where they are going).
