<Welcome on board Bruce - Did you know the US Army destroyed the last
batch of M151? They were declared unfit for road service several years
ago - because of a problem with the suspension that caused them to
roll easily. I have an article in Army Motors somewhere telling that
more than about 60 soldiers have been killed in roll-over accidents.
They put roll-bars on them, not to improve stability, which couldn't
be done since they made a cock-up in the calculations during the design
phase. Anyway, you might still find one around somewhere. A mate of
mine has one which has been parked outside for the last 2 years since
he has been in Bosnia a while.... Gerry >
