Absolutely.
Mogs, HMMVW, Diamond T's, Dragon Wagons, whatever. Buy it and drive it.

Much the same on this tiny, no account island, 1/15th the size of Texas,
although we do have to provide insurance but thats only a little money, road tax
? 25 yrs old ? Exempt. I find its a better deal being free to play with Mr
Alvis's 10.5 tons (23,520 lb if you must) of amphibious, air braked FV623
mechanical over-complexity than a couple of pounds of personal ironware ballast
from Mr S Colt.

You should see what rolls in off the road at Beltring every July. . . . . . . .
