I think this would qualify as a mobility kill don't you think? :-) On the other hand it is up on blocks, so maybe someone just knicked the wheels and tracks while they were asleep. Shouldn't leave your motor parked in a dodgy area.

Nah, they're just installing flash new rims and putting in some underside neon… |

Is that the new Grav BMP? |

I think it is a work-in-progress prototype for the "Amphibious only" version of BMP – as you can see there is a largish body of water in the background. So to make it go faster and have more buoyancy, the crew have stripped off the unnecessary wheels and tracks, which would just add drag while at water. Once they have got the last road wheel off and the rear doors closed, they will slide it down the hill to the water. Then it just needs to be loaded up with vodka and fishing equipment for the cruise. In case there is not room enough for the fishing equipment, it might be possible to use the main gun as a substitute. |

I know some guys in Trenton NJ who could "field strip" a BMP in 30 seconds flat! |

Sure, it could use a paint job, but just think how nice a new set of chrome wheels will make it look. |

Funny thing… the keys are in it and it's still running. |

Ha! In the neighborhood I had my first apartment in as a teenager it would have only been 2 minutes. There was a reason the rent was so cheap. |

Looks like they left it parked over night in a bad area of NY or Jersey or Detroit or Chicago … |

'Headline – BMP left for 30 minutes in Liverpool' Yes, but no one took anything after the first 10 minutes. Once taught a kid and mentioned that my car had engine problems. His reply was 'I know where there's a car like yours. It's been parked there for a couple of weeks so nobody must want it. I can get the engine for you if you like.' I declined. |

Garrison- Well, you can admire the initiative (if very misplaced)! And definitely someone you want on YOUR side… |
