Most amazing hunting vehicle of all time....

Found this link to a Maharaja's 1925 Rolls Royce hunting car built to hunt Tigers.....pretty classy, complete with machine gun and cannon.

That would be the cat's meow for chasing jackrabbits across the prairie.

How does that make all of you guys that hunt from tricked out 4 wheel ATV's feel?

 

[armoredman]

Imagine them setting up that cannon as an elephant closes...

looks like the Dr Evil version of the "Hitari" style vehicles, I would to have an Excursion, Denali or Escalade decked out like that!

or an Ontos...

I could just picture some of us dudes, wearing a fez with a tassle, drinking like brandy of some kind , chasing tigers!! FOR REAL MAN!!!!

I'll stick with my horse when I hunt, but Dang that car is Sweet.

I don't thing my horse would enjoy pulling the cannon, but I can always hitch up my wife's Shires.

"An unusual feature of the car is its small safe, made by Chubb. Included in the original specifications, it secured contingency money set aside to compensate families of hunting assistants killed while stalking big game."

Those Maharajah's think of everything.....wonder how many families were "compensated"?

"So sorry your mate is now tiger dung, here, have 20 rupees."

Rajahs and pukka sahibs only, it seems.....

Kotah was a fairly progressive Princely State, with decent schools and hospitals, at least for some if not all.

I'll stick with my horse when I hunt,
