No, not the Robert Palmer song, but look what Neil, one of my correspondants on another forum is buying :shock:  :twisted:

He's invited me down, but it's too far  :(bigcry):

Sweet!

As a slight comment, the Stolly was the only British vehicle to carry the disignation 'High-mobility'.

And if you stall start 'em you can get all four front wheels off the deck. 8)

Nice, all the same!

Cheers

Not too sure, I'll wait for more details from Neil, either by forum posting, or PM.

That was mentioned on 'Salvage Squad', guess it's just an Army urban legend.
I hypothosise, it was more due to the end of the 'Cold War' & withdrawal from Germany.
With no rivers to cross & the extra (now un-neccessary) maintainance) they were removed

Way I heard the story in germany, was that the daft sod got halfway over the channel and turned back due to lack of fuel, pity that the stolly he was  driving was a 'unit bulk refulling' vehicle with an 11,000 litre fuel tank fitted on the back.
