Default Good one

Hi All

I am pleased that you guys appreciated the clip, I had a feeling that it would be appreciated even though not actually a military vehicle, but what a lot of grunt. Good one.

Cheers

Tony

Default size comparison

28 litres is 1647.64 cubic inches! Unreal! The biggest of Detroit's classic muscle cars were 1/3 that volume.
