Impressive piece of ordnance! Just how heavy is it? As for the Vespa, well now I've seen everything. Italian engineering meets French ingenuity (and a little American extreme violence thrown in for good measure!) LeM |

I'm glad to see Scooter mount getting a bit more coverage! I toyed with getting a hold of one to pee off my local Military Vehicle Club!!!

We have two of these puppies. This one is an M18A1. The other is a WWII spec M18. Both made by Firestone Tyre company.
They are both getting an outing for the upcoming Dien Bien Phu photo shoot.
