another truck thread

okay, I am not usually a follower of royalty and I really couldnt care less what they do or say, but I have to admit that this Land Rover that Prince Philip had made to carry his casket is pretty cool - - way better than a horse drawn carriage IMHO

the story and more info

what's cool about this isn't so much just the truck - what's cool is that before he died this prince was involved in modding it specifically to carry his casket when he died - - apparently he was a huge fan of this particular model of Land Rover and wanted to be carried by one instead of having his casket carried in a fancy horse drawn carriage - - so, urban military truck vs white cinderalla girly carriage - - - - much cooler INMO

yea - you see the bolt like things sticking up on top of the bed on the truck? - - those are special mounting points to hold the casket up on top of there for his last ride
