Well, I'll take my Unimog wherever those Hummers go. H1 or H2, doesn't
matter. And while I'm doing it, I'll carry two or three times as many
supplies as they do - and not many of my supplies will be to fix my vehicle
when it breaks on the trail, unlike the Hummer.
I'll take a D90 over a HMMWV any day - but it's like comparing apples to
oranges, likewise the comparison with the 6x6.
Just my 0.0002(inflation....) cents worth,

OB MV content: I'm still looking for any photo documentation of WC usage
with the 8th Army in Africa - anyone? I've had a few people come up with
anecdotal evidence, plus one photo citation, but there's got to be more out
there. Can anyone help?
