Hey Guys...
this HMVee has just been un-crated by the Australian Army downunder !
Not only are the seasons back to front...
Not only does the water swirl the opposite direction in the toilet bowl...
Not only do they drive on the wrong side of the road...
But downunder, the Army guys are trying to figure out why on earth would
they build this HMV with the wheels so high up ?
They think that the wheels should be mounted much closer to the ground ?
What do you think ?
Too much Foster's I say !
