    Just getting to Tesco from here. Hornsbridge was filling up nicely a couple of hours ago.

  2. hmm, the thoughts of you in a tank is not reassuring!

  3. It isn’t a tank, it is merely a very, very large, ocean-going six wheel drive SUV.

    Can’t be a tank, there’s no gun!

  5. oh yes, that would be perfect…. not sure that rickety bridge would be up to it though!

  6. Alvis Stalwart!! 4 miles to the gallon but bloody good fun!
    Yes, I’ve been in one, stood in the back of one whilst we drove across a lake (if you can call it driving). That mesh bit on the back corner actually covers the top of the exhuast, so if you’re riding in the back on a chilly day, stand there.
    Oh – and you can mount a gun on the roof of the cab. Only a machine gun but that would do, wouldn’t it?

    I had the good luck to drive one of these beasts in the Army – it is the most exciting vehicle I have EVER driven – and I’ve driven a few in my time. (Stalwart, Unimog, Chieftain tank etc – all great fun!!)
