The Motor Scout is the First “Armored” Car The Motor Scout is the First “Armored” Car   It may look hilarious, but this is actually the grandfather of all AFVs that have ever been created. The Motor Scout is a very humble machine, but for its day it was on the cutting edge. Its designer, merged two brand new pieces of technology; the automobile, and the machinegun, in a forward thinking vehicle that provided mobile and high speed firepower. The late 19th century was a period of rapid technological advancements, with significant progress in automotive technology. The world’s first automobile had been unveiled in 1886, beginning a new era of human travel that we still rely on today.

"SEX IS SWEET BUT THERE IS POISON IN BETWEEN THE LEGS". Most downfalls of men are caused by MULTIPLE girlfriends. Sex is a spiritual encounter I stand to be corrected, not every girl has a good spirit,some are demon, some has poison in between their legs. Some are killers and destiny destroyers, be careful. Worst is a man who can't control his sexual urge. A man who can control his sexual urge is a man who can live many years on earth. 1. Having many girlfriends does not make you a man. It only makes you a womanizer, a cheat, sinner and a boy. 2. A real man has only one woman(wife) in his life. 3. For the fact that you are good in bed does not make you a man. A real man is the man who does not run away from his responsibility but faces it squarely. 4. You don't need to sag your trousers and walk round the street before girls will love you. Infact it is only small boys that sag trousers and it is premature little girls that fall in love with men who sag trousers. 5. Do...
