Whats the bet that the ADF will end up finding some far flung excuse to buy a bunch of those little mortar tugging jeeps in a few years................

We will, of course, insist they are "new" and specify a suite of high-tech modifications to suit "australian conditions" the current owner, will tow them out of the desert, spray some brown paint on the doors to break up the all green colour sheme, hook 'em up to a battery cart and pour some fuel straight into the carby to fire them up, pump up the tyres and sell them off for $1.25 million dollars each. The defence minister will take delivery of the first one in a massive media conference by donning a fire proof suit and driving one through a wall of carboard boxes to prove their ruggedness.....
