Worse yet mate, have a good look at the Champ's big brother, the
Humber GS Truck. Brought to you by the same committee that designed
the camel as a replacement for the horse! It had far too many
"good" ideas built into it. Result was a very heavy truck with
little load carrying ability, but just like the Champ it had
an ability to dig 4 holes and jump in them as soon as it got
anywhere near any soft ground.

I believe that these things have accounted for more blown
Rolls Royce engines than anything else so far built.

Doug
