Default Tough FORD

Tell me guys.....have you seen a tougher looking Ford than this?

Here you have a garden variety F350 with mounted 7.62mm and .50 cal machine guns. The vehicle usually operates with a crew of 4 or 5 and is armoured to a B6 standard (put simply bullet proof (up to a point) and blast resistant). The turrets used on the cabins have been seen with Mk IX grenade launchers.

Regards

That's fair enough ...but you have to admit there's probably not a lot of Fords out there quite like it

Yes either example would minimise the likelihood of being targeted by road-ragers.

That's because boats are designed to float on water ;)

As for those F350s, holy crap! No more parking problems at uni :P Simply run over the non-4wds, and shoot up the 4wds...

With a decent set of rims, lowered, fluffy dice and sterring wheel cover that will do me!

Stop the OMO next door steeling my car spot!

Is that a factory option or dealer fitted?

There is a Ford F450 that chases Tornado's in the USA.

Tornado Intercept

Take a 1997 Ford F-450 diesel pickup truck, pack it with 6,350 kilos of protective steel plating and bullet proof windows, add three months of hard graft and you've got yourself a Tornado Intercept Vehicle or TIV.

Here is a link: http://www.nationalgeographic.com.au...sites/tornado/

This one is also for those who want to be tough but not look tough- The former President's Lincoln. The current president uses a Cadillac though- Another reason to hate George W Bush, lol
