what kind of fuel mileage do you think that beast gets? :sick
Do you suppose the front wheel actually steers that thing? Or do the tracks brake independently? It would look good dragging a JU-52 around the aerodrome.
Found the answers. Interesting vehicle...
Why does it have a front wheel?
The front wheel gives stability when driving straight on at high speed. And it steers the vehicle through wide bends. Only in sharp bends the steering brakes were engaged, too.
Can the wife and kids ride in the back?
Important question for the slow 'no war' periods...
Cool ride! Thanks (tanks) for posting.
