King of the Road

 Len Savage has a new set of wheels:

A British Military Vehicle called a "Ferret" Made from 1952-1972. They are many of them here in the US and they are road legal. This particular Ferret was the 688 consecutive one built on May 5, 1955 by Daimler.  The Ferret drive train is 100% made by Rolls Royce and has 24K original miles.  They have a top speed of about 55 MPH. It was Overhauled and updated with some modern features like back up cameras , remote control turret and side door and a live semiauto 1919A4.

Franklin, GA the Heard County Lions Club had a car show this Saturday. In the town square, next to the only traffic light in the county...I look over and this 85 year old lady asked permission to get in the tank and then climbed into the turret and took a seat...Said she felt "powerful" sitting there. Me, I laughed and grabbed my camera.
