According to the TV, the rest of the world is interested in US politics... even protests them!
Anyhow, talking about HMVs: in the back of Military Vehicles magazine, some ferrets are selling for a mere $8,000~12,000!!! These British vehicles are pretty temping to pick up. If I don't get one myself, it's very likely that someone else in the Cimmerians (a milsim airsoft group that I belong to) could purchase one. In the group, it's been a trend (or "fad") to impersonate the British. Honorably, mind you. Many of us, including myself, have spent a great deal of money for DPM uniforms & gear to get the impression down.
Just this January we did a Falkland's War reenactment on a cold wet island. We really could have used some real Brit HMVs! Event picture galleries:

Are there any references out there to explain the differences between the various versions of ferrets?
Were any used in the Falkland's War?

Is anyone interested in British politics? or the class system?
No. Course not - well please get real we arent interested in US politics
either.
Please stop this waste of intellectuall effort before mass suicide becomes a
desirable art form.
Or does HMV actually mean Help Me Vote??????
