Foolish lad! The right answer is ... in addition to! :nya: But I don't think my girl would be too impressed with that parked on the driveway!

Park it in my driveway then. And leave me the keys, you know just in case I have to move it...

When I were a lad I owned an earlier version of the Daimler. The genuine WW2 version 'scout car'. Its a wonderful thing and probably the best light armoured vehicle of the war years.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_Scout_Car Certainly the best british one!!!!

Its actually quite small but weighs in at around 2.5 ton (mine had the top part of the 'turret' removed). The 5 speed preselector box was very good and ideal for an off road vehicle but - best I ever got was 9MPG on the open road (55MPH flat out) dropping to 4MPG off road....

That and it leaked oil a fair bit..... Dad had a major spaz when I brought it home and flatly refused to even consider the Honey Tank I was offered for $500.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_tank

Fair enough - we did live in suburban ChCh after all.

Back in a previous life, I had a bit to do with the British Army tank training school (gunnery simulators since you ask)...those Ferrets had a reputation for breaking ankles with the kick from the gear change pedal.

Gear change pedal was the clutch pedal. There was a dinky wee gear change lever. Best plot was to just give the clutch pedal a boot....

I'd love to out-show the guys at work by parking the tank next to the GT-R, 22B Impreza, STiv7, etc etc...
Best would be clocking in late.
Roll past the back-end parking, jump out and clock in, jump back and proceed to parking spot all nonchalant.

Destined to never have one, oh well.
