Default Greetings from the PNW

I'm new here and the site looks good!

My primary hobby is Military Vehicles, mostly British Armor. I have a 2008 F450 that I use as my daily driver and to tow my smaller armor to events. I went from the Seattle area to Lodi CA last spring with a GCVW of the F450 at about 34,000 lbs. It handled the Skyous with ease. A pic or two of some of the toys:

My little F450 with my tank and ATV on my trailer:

Thank you all. Mishkaya, that is a British Scorpion tank, designed to be air transportable with two being carried inside a C130 for a fast reaction force. They were used in the Falklands as well as the two sand wars in Iraq. Still in service with a 30MM gun, not the 76MM I have on mine. That and my 8x8 HEMTT are my favorite toys.

I couldn't remember off-hand which one it was. Drove one of those in my military years when I was in Europe. Was lots of fun! I do like the HEMTT as well though...
