Enigma Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The M 16 is the Anti Aircraft version with partly hinged armour. There are M 16, M2, M3 and M5 in different modifications... More but can't find my booklet. :argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoshi Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 16's were basically 3's modified to Multiple Gun Motor Carrage status. The addition of the Quad 50 was the basis of the conversion. 16's came in different flavours where minor body changes were made. principally the addition of a rear door.

Marmite!! Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Can halftracks be driven on an ordinary licence :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think so because theyare not steered by the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian2b Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Sounds like a good idea to go for a halftrack no worrying about an H test but still having fun with something tracked. Another option for you Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I totally agree, but a nice German D-mag or a variety of the 251 Hanomag series for me (i wish) Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Or what about a police one? These were leased from the War Office for £60 per month. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/fv1620/11ZA25s.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 What sort of licence do you need to drive a half track in the USA (illinois to be accurate). My wife, who is of US origin (part of my plan to set up a system of bringing back WW1 US truck parts to the UK on the cheap), mentioned again today that we move to the USA. The bad side is that it will be a right bogger trying to get to work. The good side is that you can buy a 4 bedroomed house and a couple of acres of land for about £60,000. Since we bought our house 10 years ago it has more than doubled in value which leaves me to think that i might have some money left over to buy an expensive toy. Possibly a half track and maybe a Liberty B as well, oh and i will be taking the Jeep with me. Thoughts anyone? Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 If you want to work out there - avoid the Detroit, Dearborn and Michigan areas - work situation right now is mega-depressed following the companies decision to off-load workers and retain incompetent management!! :-( :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 That is one lovely looking bit of kit Tim(1), whats it like to drive, easy!! :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlinwolf Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Not sure on the driving thing,Steve McNally was our designated jockey in Bastogne, and a very capable one at that. She has power steering and oodles of power, so that must make it a little easier to drive than the others. With another broken down track yoked to the back of it , it was gaining on the others up long inclines on the N4 dual carriageway so that shows how much grunt she has. Sounds good at full tilt on the above link !! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistlinwolf Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Prices can vary a little but your not far away Mark. Just warn Jack before posting anything like that again though, there is only so much hitting the floor that Jacks jaw can take :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
