tripp,
See you made it from Tom's MG board. Great to have ya here. As for
getting a V-100 or V-150, I am working though my uncle to see if I can
get one from Saudia Arabia. They bought lot of them from Cad-Gage in
the late 60's and early 70's, not though the US gov't but straight from
the company which still holds the patent on them. Being that they were
bought straight from the company as a production vehicle, that would put
them out of US military juristriction, much like the Ferrets and t-72
tanks that are being brought into the country from England and the
former Soviet Union. As long as the main gun is removed it would be
classified as a regular vehicle. If the gov't tries to stop the
importation, I have a very good lawyer friend who would be willing to go
to court at no charge. My uncle works with the royal family as a
dentist. He is supposed to get back to me as soon as some of the
details are worked out. Hopefully I'll be looking at about 10 of them
in my yard in the next two years, hell maybe more if I get real lucky.
Keep ya informed as the progress goes.
