Grrrrr!!! How do I post images!? Try again. This is what we run around in. About to be de-commissioned, getting on in years and obviously has no Armour. They can carry up to four standard NATO litters or roughly ten sitting with seat belts. Piped oxygen, internal suction, working lights and Air Conditioned. They are six wheel drive and when I say they go anywhere, I mean it. A couple of months ago in Queensland I was in convoy with a standard Marine HUMMVEE and the Marines gave up half-way up the hill we were waiting at the top of. Not much grunt on the highway but they will sit at about 100km/h without much worry. That's about 62MPH. Any question, feel free to ask.

The US was going to buy the Australian made Bushmaster until you found out that Thales (one of the major partners) was French. They are currently in use with the Dutch, English and NZ and only suffered one fatality...touch wood. Shame politics got in the way. Could have saved a heap of US lives.

How many people are you looking after with that pack? Company size or smaller?

Personally I would not want to be doing anything like that in my own car. Lets face it, we smash the ones we are given and they show their age.

But can you take that bed home!?

Not even a contest. I bet the Queen is glad she gave them all MBE's or whatever it was. Just proves that it was a fluke when they managed to beat us.
