    Well then we do agree on some things regarding the Bond franchise. Well except for OHMSS anyway. That's another argument I really don't feel like rehashing.

    Yeah I don't want to rehash that old argument, or our differing opinion Daniel Craig's movies. Humor me though, outside of those two what do you consider the good one's? From Russia with Love? License to Kill?

    Not really, Goldeneye was one of the better all around Bond films period, which makes the Brosnan films that came after all the more of a let down.

    Let me put this way, the girl that gets paralyzed and stuck in souped up wheel chair is a better superhero with a better origin story than Shaq's character in Steel.

    I FINISHED!!!! Lapped and nowhere the top 5, but I still finished and not in last place! I actually feel pretty good even if the handling was still off.

    I'm at Hudson Speedway getting ready for my next race. Of the last two races,, the first the car wasn't fully repaired, and the second got rained out. Am I nervous? Yes, but I've grown up around this track all my life and know it better than Star Speedway.

    I went to see Expendables tonight and caught the trailer for the film Fury. Its about a Sherman tank crew fighting one of the last battles of the european theater in April of 1945.... GODDAMMIT! Its bad enough it looks like Saving Private Ryan in a tank, but they cast Shia Lebouf as the whiny douche pacifist that doesn't want to fight, and correct me if I'm wrong but that's a Sherman Firefly right? I feel bad this film drags the poor sole remaining functional Tiger out of Bovington for authenticity, but might have screwed up the Sherman. EDIT:Nevermind, it's Bovington's "easy 8" Sherman.

    If this is true, and its a BIG if, it would appear that Disney is doing all the leg work on this so why wouldn't FOX cut a deal and cash in on huge seller when their not absorbing the cost of producing it? I also wouldn't be surprised if there was a quid pro quo deal going on behind the scenes involving some other Disney/Marvel properties that we won't hear about later on if this all pans out.

    Dig deep into what??? The source material is about as shallow as you can possibly get out of dystopian storyline. There aren't any "thought-provoking ideas" outside of why the hell was I forced to read this garbage in school? This is a book that deserves the fahrenheit 451 treatment. The book's shallow plot...

    Didn't I see the exact same video years back when her dad was going to wrestle Stone Cold?

    Lingerie Football League Maggie Gre- I mean Super Pochaco? I would buy it if they released the whole cast as a team as she makes one hell of an Offensive Lineman next to Sonico's Fullback position.

    As someone who is heavily involved in the short track community I ask that you please take that video down and not link to it. If somebody wants to see it they can google it, but posting it here isn't in good taste.

    Completed my trip to the Wright Museum yesterday and have more photos plus a couple from Danbury which I didn't share yet. Gotta love a museum that has a tank busting through its walls Wright Museum entrance(M3 Stuart) M3 Stuart light tank M4 Sherman T26 Pershing M110 9 inch Howitzer Centurion battletank The interesting thing about that Pershing is aside from being a direct ancestor to the Patten line, this particular one is one of only three that made it to the bridge at Remagen and took part in the battle. It may be the only one still around today and was saved much like the MBT70 from being a practice target at Otis AFB back in the 80s.

    Bay starts directing porn? Bay originally got into the film industry shooting hardcore porn, Playboy videos, and other Skinimax smut. No, the first one actually is a pretty entertaining film up there with Big Trouble in Little China.

    Yup that's definately it with its original turret, the only mystery now is where the hell the XM800-T got its new turret from and why? Now for something competely different The smallest tank that was the biggest death trap! The Polish TKS Tankette. Prone to throwing its treads(as the video below will show) it wasn't very fast, wasn't heavily armed(not counting the custom one that welded on a 55mm mortar), and its armor couldn't stop small arms fire! Here's a demo of one of the very operable TKS from a couple years back. Watch it all the way through. In addition to blowing out a tread the drivers thought it was a good idea to winch it up on its trailer using a chain that wasn't rated for the Tank's weight. EDIT: The TKS makes a very small two second cameo in Girls Und Panzer from when they showed snippets of Pravda's win over Bonple the polish themed school.

    M36 Jackson M18 Hellcat Patton tanks with MBT-70 MBT-70 The MBT-70's in rough shape. No treads, shot suspension, gutted interior, and no engine. They only recently repaired the damage where from when it was a target(a penetrator went clean through the turret and out the other side), and repainted it about a week before I got there.

    So we have an aircraft thread, a weapons thread, so why not one based on the missing link of the combined arms? I had intended to do this for a while after I got into that little argument about the markings Arnold's tank on another thread, but I got really motivated after visiting the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury Connecticut and snapping some pictures while I was on vacation this week. The Museum is fairly small in size(It ain't Bovington, but it is in driving distance for me), but its yard has a nice collection of tanks and armored fighting vehicles including some very rare specimens like a functional Jackson Tank Destroyer, M2 Half Track, several Patton line variants, russian BMP, M551Sheridan, Goliath tank mine, and a prototype of the MBT-70 that's undergoing restoration after being used as a target by the U.S. Army. They also have this thing... The guide lists it as Test Recon Vehicle. No model number or anything. The only other information they had was that its turret was not the original one mated to it and that it itself was the prototype for the M2 Bradley. I know we got some other service men on here so hopefully you can help me shed some light on this as I've never seen anything like it. Anyways I'm heading up to a transportation museum in Wolfboro NH tomorrow who also has a nice collection of armored fighting vehicles including several Sherman variants. I'll make sure to add more pics from there and my Danbury trip later. Feel free to contribute too! EDIT: Here's another image from the recon vehicles side I can't make out much, but I think it says something about an XM864-T.

    Mommar I think this is the veritech they're talking about.

    The VF-X-7 was never released as part of the kickstarter. The only images of it are stills from Memo's comic con video people have captured.
