The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I just watched "Death Race". It was pretty amusing. They had an 18-wheeler tanker truck that was armored. It had machine guns, flame throwers, rockets and an M1 turret. I made a 5 minute video from my TV set. See it at: DEATH RACE TRUCK _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Original Death Race David Carradine and Sly Stallone was very "Campy" to say the least, Didn't see the new one. I always liked the second in the Mad Max series, "Road Warrior". _________________ Joe_D

The first Mad Max film was a real treat. Very low budget but the filmmakers introduced most of the character elements seen in the later movies.

In another life, I used to visit EK in Rochester, NY fairly frequently. One morning I arrived early and stopped for breakfast when up rolled a 65' eighteen-wheeler with short, enclosed trailer and a tractor that was completly armored with gun ports and shields/slits that could be lowerd over windscreen (like some warships). Speaking of warships, it was "battleship gray" as well.

Wondered "what the heck?" until I remembered that before things were largely digital, Kodak was the largest consumer of silver ingot in the world (with an enormous silver recovery plant in Kodak Park as well, so they might have set records for cyanide consumption, too). Wink
