It shoots a grappling hook and can tackle most any terrain. Toyo Tires calls this thing “the Ferret,” and we really want a turn behind the wheel.

That thing is interesting. Looks like fun. I am so glad this thread is not about smelly rodents. The grappling hook is a little over the top, but works as an attention getter.
Know where you can drive that thing?
Anywhere you'd like.
The Brits started making something called the Ferret in 1952. Street legal in California!
LA traffic, Pssshhhhttt, watch this.
I've seen one just like that driving around SoCal. I bet they get really really terrible mileage.
What caliber is the cannon?
I'm very surprised by two things:
At least they drove it though an impressively deep river that my ford focus might not have been able to navigate.
Does look fun though.
Baja?

I'm pretty sure that is a Ferret that they've customized. Hence them calling it a Ferret. ;)
I honestly thought a Ferret had four wheels; are the two in the middle spares or are they rollers for logs and such?
