I know what you are thinking: "WTF!".It was build to reduce noise to communities nearby. The vehicle pictured is the M109G 155mm self-propelled howitzer.
Many thanks to Sven for emailing it to me.
UPDATE: Thanks to Mark for these images of another German tank suppressor.

you'll probably find that its situated at a testing/training facility. It'd fire a very fixed trajectory.

Hmm, come to think of it, who cares if she's a lady-boy!

A Jaguar enthusiast who wanted to fit his two dogs in his cramped sports car found a novel solution - by fusing a Morris Minor to the back of it.
The result is a bizarre-looking creation made up of the two cars morphed together, with the sleek Jaguar XK150 front being matched with the rear of a Morris Minor Traveller.
The combination has led to a vehicle with an elegant front and a classically ugly but practical boot on the back.

The hybrid has a 3.4 litre engine and has a French numberplate, though it was registered in the UK prior to 2000 with number plate '558 NOT'.
Tim Schofield, head of classic car department at Bonhams, said: 'It's a remarkable car.


'Thanks to an expert named Peter Ingram, we now know the Foxbat was made by a Geoffrey Stevens around 1975 to 1977.
'He was a Jaguar enthusiast and worked as an industrial chemist near Swindon.
'He and his wife needed a more practical car to transport kit around with room for their two dogs and he decided to do his own conversion.
'It took him several years to complete, using a very rusty Jaguar XK150 and a Morris Minor. You can see exactly where joins the other.
'He even hand cut a Foxbat badge to put on the back.
'It really is incredibly interesting and, as far as we know, it is the only one in existence.'
It was sold by Mr Stevens in the 1980s and spent many years in France before being transported back to the UK in 2008.
It is now being sold by Bonhams auctioneers at their Goodwood Revival Sale in Chichester, West Sussex, on September 16.
