Hey snapper , strange you should say that , in RTR we were very versatile and cunning with our unofficial modifications which one was , an empty 5 gallon drum of oil with the top taken off , then filled with sand and then soaked in petrol , set light it burnt for ages , just needed a stir with a stick , or more taxpayers petrol

we could cook on it , use it for hot water to wash underkeks , orrrrr just sit round it stuffing beer down our necks ,, and the name of this wondrous implement

How they are not killing each other is beyond me. Everyone is firing wildly and no one seems to be in command. It's a matter of jump in a vehicle, blast of a couple of mags into the air then Charge!!! It seems to be working for them.. so if it's not broke why fix it

That way, If I were as crazy as Gadaffi, I'd jump in the commanding vehicle, blast a couple of mags and stay in power, this time as the leader of the rebels (history repeating, eh?)
