YKYWT, by its nature, can often be a bit hit-and-miss - one man's quirky masterpiece is another's lamentable horror.
But after what we've seen across the country in the past few days, surely even the most peace-loving of motorists will be in the mood to dish out some justice to the thieving scum who have reduced some parts of our great cities to ashes, and destroyed the livelihoods of the people who helped make these cities great in the first place.
But enough of the problem, here's a solution. Picture one of these magnificent Russian BTR-60s rolling through one of the trouble spots, scattering pea-brained looters in its path and instilling in them the fear they so richly deserve. Now imagine that you're at the wheel.
The beauty of the BTR-60 is that such a scenario is theoretically possible. According to Duncan Nicholson of www.tanksforsale.co.uk the BTR-60 could be taxed, insured, and driven on UK roads. Admittedly, at a width of 2.8 metres it's outside of the usual 2.5 metre limit...but apparently it has been done.
What we have here are 10.3 tons of 50mph, 18-seater, twin-engined, amphibious, scum-scattering, eight-wheeled mayhem. All it needs is a PH smiley on the back and you're in business.
Developed by the Russians during the cold war, the BTR-60 can be made amphibious at the pull of just one lever (to raise the splashplate and open the two propeller doors). Okay, so the two 90bhp engines give you a power to weight ratio of...umm...just 18.4bhp per ton (...and that's if you run both engines), but that's beside the point.
Duncan assures us that the BTR-60 was by far the best armoured personnel carrier from the cold war period. This one has been fully restored and is ready to go for a price of £50,000, although he can supply an unrestored one for less than half that.
Of course, there are some people for whom the BTR-60 might be considered a bit of a soft touch for dealing with the problem at hand, and that something less-subtle is needed. We've got you covered there too: how about a tracked BMP-1, like this?
