I like the way he says it unites people.

And when he is asked "Where do you park it?" he replies "Anywhere I like."

Actually it's no big deal. A few years ago here in Adelaide a couple of blokes owned Ferrets and they used to take their families shopping in them.

And no big tank either, typical of the media. Combat vehicle reconnaissance (tracked) is the correct and official designation, being all alloy and protected from small arms/minor shrapnel only you can hardly call it a tank.

We've used Ferrets here too along with a Striker (CVRT with 5 Swingfires) and Stalwarts.

Expensive trip to the supermarket though and I prefer to send Andreas on his Kettenkrad.
