any idea what vehicle this is (besides broke-dick)?

It's not broke, they are just using the tire as a foot rest.

Correct indeed! Yes, the vehicle is obviously not broke dick as its still operating with quite a load on it.

It's like an Argo, with a missing wheel. This one doesn't look amphibious though., fwiw.

Do you reckon they actually paid for it and the guy driving it has a license??

 

[mountainman308]

it looks similar to the old bren carriers the Brits used in WW2.

It looks like an airport rental, anyway.

All the Bren Gun Carriers that I've seen, including the one that belonged to an acquaintance, all had tracks. And were of a considerably different design. But hey, maybe there's something different out there that I'm not aware of. That wouldn't be the first time.
