2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

They are indeed polsten cannons, Canadian made during ww2 I believe, my mate has renovated the carriage so he can now climb inside and operate the elevation and rotation of the turret , powered by its original petrol engine.

What scope do you have on your AR15? I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.

that website is old, I just renewed the domain for another 2 years... =0)
The CV is old... It hasn't been updated since 2005 when things started to change =)
I am a fulltime employee with a government contractor. The nature of my work requires me to be out in the field once in a while, in theatre, to fix issues related to mapping hardware/software. Sometimes I'll go into theatre to give refresher courses on GPS technology, or GIS technology, espcailly to the stryker crews...
I'm what GI Jane use to do before she became GI Jane, but 33% in the office, 33% in the field, and 33% travelling to and from. =)
