Thats great. Well done. Are you going to get a 6 wheeled range rover as a rapid response vehicle? My work experience was at an airfield, and sometimes invovled riding around in one of those.
they're definitely nice, but id prefer one if they were about 5 times bigger..

I love the thinking that goes behind "made it a must"! Great piece of British engineering from a very famous British Company... Good on you!
