Hagglunds on Ebay...617 diesel powered.

How fun would this be in the wintertime?

Where's the gun rack? Hanging a M2HB out the rear window would keep the tailgaters away.

Finding parts for it will be an interesting chore let alone repairing the rear sprocket it needs

Those things are super loud and pretty weak, but surprisingly comfortable. They take the bumps much better than say a Pisten Bulley. Those are like driving a rock, but very responsive and seem to have more guts. I guess you have your trade-offs...

I'd disconnect the rear portion and just drive the front segment to school in the winter. Boy would that be awesome Then again, maybe I'd leave the rear part connected too.....the bigger the better

Fascinating!

Put a snow mobile inside, open the door and shoot out like you're chasing James Bond down the slopes.

How loud can a 617 be? Stick another muffler on it.

I remember it being pretty loud in the cab. Maybe it had more to do with the tracks, maybe the muffler wasn't on it... But you could have a nice conversation in the Pisten Bulley, but not in the Hagglund.
