Thanks for the link, Markiss!  I could have sworn that I'd read (~20 years ago) that these were based on the Mini chassis/engine, but I could be wrong.  Maybe I should go have a look at it for myself...

There is a paintball facility in Oroville that has one or two out front, so now that all makes sense.

Simple recipe for Excitement:  Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

This caught my attention, did some quick Googling and I think you found a "Tank Tag" machine. Looks like they are (were) a golf N stuff kind of attraction. Like bumper boats on dry land.

Where do you find this stuff? Never seen or heard of this military vehicle. Someone spent some time making that tank-lite.

On FB marketplace, and found someone not far from me selling what I seem to recall is a "military vehicle" based on a Mini undercarriage and engine. Can someone confirm?
