I take it you've seen "Camilla"....
That takes the cake for a feral animal's worst nightmare.

It's a secret mate... you will have to ask him.
If you're fortunate enough to get a glimpse one day, you will immediately see how serious he is with his craft.

"Craft"... That brings me back to when i was working with the Texans from Fluor on the Santos gas development. Mostly Seth Afflicanas... They call tradesmen Craftsmen and trade skills Craft. What a great mob of loyal, kind, influential people they are. Even to lowly welding superintendents like I was there. If you are up front, have the balls to say what you think even if you know it's going to make them lose their sh*t, especially when they want something stupid or impossible, after that they will do anything for you. Craft.

Rich, you have seen "Camilla" (my shooting rig) when you were here.
Maybe I didnt formally introduce you to her.

It all came to pass when my partner nicknamed it "Camilla" due to the many hundreds of hours I spend sitting in its seat.
You know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The third person in the relationship.
:D

i was talking to a good mate of mine about your revolving "turret ", he reckons you need a browning M2 50cal or a 20mm auto cannon mounted on it :lol:
wouldn't leave much of the dogs and i think the noise and muzzle flash might be a little distracting though :D
