By the way have a great idea for anyone who wants to add a nice surprise for their characters in Twilight 2000 if they play in CA circa 2000-2001

Guess who owned a restored and driveable M47 Patton tank that he bought from a museum in 1992?

Arnold Schwarzenegger - who not only owns it but knows how to drive and operate it from when he served in the Austrian Army

Definitely be one hell of an interesting NPC encounter

Clancy had an M1. Anyone know where he kept it?

that would be a fun encounter too - not everyday you get your butt saved by Tom Clancy - or alternatively you get sent out by CivGov or MilGov to try to obtain the tank for them and Mr. Clancy objects strenuously to his toy being taken away

and he actually owned a Sherman tank not an M1 - he knew how to drive an M1 however - it was at his house near Baltimore

FYI - saw this online and wanted to post it for those who may want to use one of the Littlefield tanks in a US scenario - and shows that Littlefield's collection definitely could do some damage in the right hands

spelling isnt the best but got to love the "we have ten projectiles for the cannon and have more available" - nice to have some ammo for that live gun

http://www.armslist.com/posts/461620...mm-live-cannon

We are selling our Cheiftain MK 6, main battle tank with 120mm gun.

This armored tank is fully functional. The 2 engines both run great and have low hours on them. It comes with a NEW backup main engine. The turret is fully operational and the stablization system works; it is controlled via a joystick. The main gun is registered as a Destructive Device with the ATF and comes with 10 projectiles. More projectiles are available. The barrel is in excellent condition and has never been molested. It has a factory laser range finder. Also included is the hydrolic mine plow and infrared spotlight. The intercom system works as does the NBC filtration.

This was previously owned by the late Jacques Littlefield, who held the single largest tank collection in the world. His foundation, the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation hand picked it from the UK and fully restored it. After he passed away, we were presented with the chance to purchase it. It has been in Oklahoma since.

This is the ultimate toy for the guy or gal that wants the biggest and best. Serious offers only please.

If I'd won the Powerball when it was $500 Billion.....buy that piece of heaven out of petty cash.

Thanks for getting a image in my hand of Schwarzenegger going after the bad guys in his own little tank.
