Round three of "Name that Vehicle"
 

Ah yes Ladies and gentlemen the action has been hot as experts from around the world attempt to identify rare and obscure military vehicles from the four corners of the globe. To date there have been two winners as Alex Blair of Ottawa, Canada correctly identified the Sisu xa180 in round one and Richard Farrant correctly id'ed the Renault cheniliette d'infanterie in round two.
Alex Blair, a mild mannered Civil servant in the Ministry of Agriculture, Pork Barrel Section was quoted as saying upon hearing of his win,
" What! No beer 'cause I got it after the third clue! Take off eh, you hoser!"
Richard Farrant, ticket inspector and chewing gum remover 1st class; Picadilly Circus was quoted as saying,
" What! I've got to get me arse all the to Texas to collect me bleedin' beer! And it better be tepid ya wanker!"
And now, it's time for Round three. Everybody knows the rules by now, if not, check the threads for round 1 or 2.
Everybody ready? Hands on buzzers? It's time to play
NAME THAT VEHICLE!

Aaahh, perhaps I wasn't exact enough in my description of the rules. You see, I want you to identify the vehicle from which the picture was taken. See that fuzzy blob in the lower mid section of the picture? I want you to identify that vehicle. Sorry.

Re: Re: Round three of "Name that Vehicle"
 

Just kidding! Yes, of course it's a Faun L900 Tank Transporter. Well done! You're the first winner without needing any clues! Congratulations! I'm putting a six pack of cold, delicious "Lone Star" beer, The National Beer of Texas in the fridge for you as we speak, or would you prefer them at room temperature? When might I expect your arrival?
Contestants, thank you for your participation and stayed tuned for round four of:
"NAME THAT VEHICLE!"

Re: Re: Re: Round three of "Name that Vehicle"
 

No, just the engine displacement will suffice....to the exact c.c. of course!

Hi Derek:

Here I was looking up the trailer and the two tanks 'cause the Faun was just too obvious!

Well, now that I know you want the photographer's vehicle I think I can help out... it is definitely, absotively, posolutely a:

Schutzengrabenvernichtungsautomobile IIIF mit kugelblitz und strudelenanhanger*

:cheers: Mike

*for the non Hunnish amongst us:

Shootingditchclimbingdestructioncar IIIF with lightening (for the flash photography) and pastry trailer. :D

Re: Re: Re: Re: Round three of "Name that Vehicle"
 

I see. Didn't I explain that you had to be among the living in order to be eligible for the grand prize? Just look on pg. 387, para. 19, subpara 37, clause 22, subclause 119 of the contestant's rule book.
It clearly states:

Those who's ability to savour the clean fresh taste of the National Beer of Texas; to wit, "Lone Star" beer, has been degradated by corruption, decomposition, rot, removal, consumption by worms, or application of heat sufficient to render his or her mortal remains unto ash SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY PRIZE. (Authors emphasis)


Sorry. Rules is rules.

(freakin' dead, always trying to horn in on game shows!)

Re: Too damn slow!!!
 

Very close! It's actually an:

Schutzengrabenvernichtungsautomobile IIIF mit kugelblitz, WURST, und strudelenanhanger.

Can't go to war without sausage now, can we?

Re: Re: Re: Round three of "Name that Vehicle"
 

Errrrrr, I'll pass on the beer, thanks all the same. You could nip down to the 7-11 though for a carton of Pall Mall or Chesties; in fact anything king-sized, straight-thru, no mufflers, will do very nicely, even Basic.

Oh! And a nice cup of tea, NATO standard, hot (not the tepid water from the coffee machine, proper boiling stuff), milk (not "cream") and two sugars.

Thanks awfully.
