I Drove an Armored Military Vehicle Around Suburban Nashville

I drove a Ferret armored car around suburban Nashville to see exactly how an old military vehicle performs in a regular American suburb. Kelly Breen: This was a great vehicle. The Dingo would be a better daily driver though. It was smaller, faster and completely open topped and did not have a turret. Military vehicles drive off road and get shot at so they have small windows. The grenade launchers shot smoke exclusively. The Dingo figures prominently in A Bridge Too Far. Noise was not a problem because the crew talked through microphones and headsets. The Ferret was a post war bigger heavier Dingo 2. 0.

I almost bought one of these I live in NJ, and, they are perfectly legal to drive on the street here, too. It has all the necessary lights, it has tires, instead of tracks, and, it's small enough to fit in your garage. A Ferret is a really good starting vehicle for anyone who wants to start an AFV collection.

I started as a crewman in one of these in the 1970s, we had a Browning. 30 caliber mounted through the turret, not an LMG on an outside mount. Yeah, they are noisy, thin armoured and uncomfortable. Berkshire and Westminster Dragoons, HQ Squadron

Those grenade launchers are for smoke grenades, not high-explosive grenades most people would think of when you say that. They are to obscure the vehicle while it accelerates to 50 mph in reverse after encountering enemy tanks.

The army came to visit me twas in the early hours, with saracens and Saladin and ferret armoured cars. They thought they had me cornered till I gave them all a fright, with the armour piercing bullets of me little armalite

Does it have 4 wheels? Yeah- I live in Franklin, TN where there is a community called Westhaven. In Westhaven the number of 4 wheel drive golf carts match the number of cars. I wish I was kidding.

I was hoping to see if I recognized where he was in Nashville. I use to live in a suburb of of Nashville. Turns out yeah. He's at Cool Springs/Franklin area. God I miss that place.

Wow. Interesting vehicle but this Doug guy is a whiney obnoxious distraction. I had to turn off his whimpering blather. The vehicle deserves a far better presenter.

god i love the south, see a armored vehicle with a machine gun on top, obviously the only option is to walk toward it and talk to the driver.
