>You shoulda seen the Austim Champ then, which the Brtish Army used before the "Landie". It was the size of a Hummer, with, I think, a 6 cyl RR engine in it, and a bonnet (er hood) you could land an aircraft on. It was too unreliable and kept breaking down though, and was replaced by the "'rover"

Which one?

It's weird, we used to buy English military gear or make our own, then switched to US stuff. We seem to be moving back to Euro things now.
