That M20 they show is considerably tidier than Goobers, but then his hasn't ever been "restored" and still has original unit markings on it

I wouldn't mind trying one of the HDT KLRs. Not available to the public, unfortunately.

The french should have had those.

It was. I've got an article somewhere with a pic of the 3 wheeled Mule with the powered front wheel halfway up the side of a house.
pilot is a very casual Italian Mountain regiment private - with the requisite feather in his hat.

One of their powered artillery pieces apparently had more reverse gears than forward...
