It has the twin Cadillac v8s, and the gun has a fake cover over it that will
be the first thing to go. Everyone is welcome to stop by anythime.

Mr. Baker, I just had to see if you had any pictures of the M5 on the old
web site. Very pleased to see you do. If you'll let the public take a peek
at it in person, I might be planning a weekend "vacation" to Tennessee.

I do have a question or two. Does this have the radial engine in it? Also,
does the main gun have a 25 pounder look to it, or is that just me? I have
only seen one of these in person and lots of pictures and know even less
that I think about such things, but the gun looks bigger that the one(s) I
have seen. They have one on display at Ft. Jackson I might be about to take
some pictures of next week if you need any of the exterior. Not sure how
the MP's will feel about me walking on the grass, but I suspect they will
let me know.

Call it what you will folks, (jealousy) but that burning desire to own a
piece of Armour is just getting worse.

Joe, sure wish I had a tank, Trapp
