now, for the already-confused bunch of you, these are Armored Cars from the
British Army. :) the first one is a "little" 4-wheel job, with a machine
gun turret on top, and weighs probably, oh, 5 or 6 tonnes. :) gets about
4 miles/gallon, i think. maybe a tad more on the highway.

the second is a larger 6-wheel Armored Personnel Carrier. sort of a medium
truck, with an attitude. :) it also has a machine gun turret on top. might
be lucky to get 1-2 miles/gallon.

Happy Holidays to all. :)
