Clarkson's view on British Military 4X4's
greasemonkey:
HI
the thing is if you stick a driver / commander /and four squaddies in a lwb wolf
with all the kit and kevalar
it is to heavy to be a speed machine
we had stripped out SWB V8's in Ireland
only four of us to a vehicle and they were still slow
ok once they were moving though
its the armour that weighs things down
but better to have than not i always say
best thing was all the spares were same day delivery
cheers

Surely Humvees aren't exactly racecar-quick?
greasemonkey:
HI
no humvees are quick but
are arse to work on and too small inside
all engine and sharp corners
only good for four guys with no kit
they were designed for recce's only
get in and out as fast as possible
good on road pants off road
and use fuel like 4 mpg

There we are then, by the time they've slowed down to do the off roady bits and stopped for several fill ups, the Landy would have passed 'em ;)
Turtle and the hare! :P
