I wish
Hi Guys
I am a Jeep guy. My wish would be for a 100% fully restored MB Jeep in perfect running order. My second wish would be that I am not up for a big dollar expense, as when I checked the oil in my Jeep this morning it was Milky in colour.  Merry Christmas to all.  Tony

Sounds like water in the oil.
I would do a compression test and see how that looks. Could be serious but could be something simple like head gasket All the best Col

Oh easy peasy answer teacher!
A diesel powered CVR(T) Samson which is the recovery variant of what people call the Scorpion family of all aluminium welded armour AFVs. The Samson like its siblings, the Samaritan (ambulance) and Sultan (command) variants, is rare in private hands as it lacks the usual penis extension of something that resembles a gun and in fact as there were few made to begin with many have ended up as scrap as collectors do not see them as sexy. It is a highly useful bit of kit with its winch, small and will fit on a reasonable sized float trailer like the Spartan I took down to Oshawa earlier this year and weighs in quite reasonably as well. I would pick the Cummins diesel version rather than the J60 gas / petrol version as diesel is a safer and more stable fuel and lacks all those pesky carb issues. Also the diesel just has more grunt. Lastly the reason I would have it is that it is a very good recovery vehicle for the line of work I seem to be involved in these days, which is agriculture. If you have ever watched some of the videos that abound of tractors and combines stuck in fields you would understand how the Samson would have the mobility to be transported to a farm, drive out into the field, drop the spade anchor at a safe distance and heave ho the wretched stuck machine out of the goop and hand over a nice bill and load up and move on. Something that those fancy big highway wreckers with Chrome and pretty paint can not do. The farming business is so time critical and weather windows evaporate so fast people would pay and therefore make the hobby fun and profitable. Not only that but even the name "Samson Recovery" just sounds so perfect. Dear Santa, . . . . . R
