Nice! Looking forward to seeing the cladding cut for the new bumpers.
HA! Not sure I should claim this one afterall.
Not exactly the Upstate, but interesting:

A few more: I did spot one LC police vehicle in Jerusalem (couldn't get a pic from the bus in time) but mostly these Mitsubishi's....wondering if they kept and converted a captured terrorists LC....
This first pic of the Montero was a improptu checkpoint that sprung up to head off potential rioting that was expected later that evening. I did ask permission to take the pic and one nodded.
Anyone able to identify these vehicles from the 1967 6 day war? Taken overlooking the valley of tears on the Golan Heights, crappy day so couldn't see into Syria as hoped.

I don't think those tanks are from that time period. You are standing on what looks like a Merkava (Israeli), and behind you is a Soviet T-72. I need to look closer at some comparisons, because both would be later.
Edit: You are standing on a Centurian. The side port is recognizable.
Maybe a T62 for the other based on the gun (bigger than a T55, but too early and rich for a T72). I can't make out the other features that could help differentiate it and I am as rusty at AFVID as a pile of spent 7.62 cases in an Afghan stream bed.

Winner Winner, chicken dinner! Israeli Centurion (bought from UK) and Syrian T-62. You are such a good Google-er! The Syrian T-62 had a few holes in it....apparently the Syrian tanks outnumbered the Israeli armor 10:1 but the kill ratio was 17:1 for Israel but they did lose quite a few crews. I know there is a documentary on it I need to find and rewatch.
I used to have to do these fun things. Mute it so you don't have to hear the speak and spell narrator. Tank Crew Gunnery Skills Testing - AFVID - ppt video online download
Useless trivia, a MultiPurpose AntiTank round from an Abrams will penetrate the heaviest frontal armor of a T62. The book says it won't, but it is quicker to try if that is what is loaded and then load Sabot for a followup shot. Immediate secondary detonations confirm that no followup is required.

The immaculate FL 80 and it is super nice. Simpsonville-Fairview Rd.
For sure it is, it needs a magazine photo shoot.
Saw this really clean LX450 this morning on Westmoreland Rd
I had been keeping an eye on this 80 while doing the house closing. Kind of hoping it was available when I get settled, but some guy in California swooped it up. 
Who is the owner?
