Hey Ken,
I hate to admit it, but part of the appeal of the Gama Goat is to go out
and show the over budget CJ and land cruiser crowd what a Real rock crawler
can do!I have seen a Gama Goat drive over incredible obstacles without
lifting a tire off the ground. I can wait until the right deal comes along
but The M561 just looks like too much fun off road, and I can drive it
across the cove at my lake place.For now my Mutt is the most fun I have had
on the trail.I use the ole Mutt for fun,Its no show piece but solid and
mechanically strong.I am proud of the folks that restore HMV's to perfect
original condition and would like to join their ranks but my current Mutt
with see allot more hours playing off and on road before it gets its second
resoration.Its was restored by T.W. Murrey in 1985 and had very little use
until I got it.The more I drive it the better it gets.
Regards,
John
