Its a very calming sensation as something that you cant put your finger on then the dust begins to jump then your ears are assulted as the ground shakes then bedlam ensues. After it starts to settle your aware of a keening noise that you just cant work out and a heat akin to that found at the gates of hell.....
And Thats just starting it up...
I'm looking forward to seeing the article, I dont believe a Std H3 with Std tyres can get up Rocky...Quote:

There was a hell of a lot of noise and not much action from memory, despite all those litres.
Do a search on youtube. There are a few vids of H3's and H2's. I'm not very impressed.:thumbsdown:
that humps the autobox and the ass of the engine were the ones you were driving right hand drive or left?Quote:

The humvee was not as large as I had expected from only seeing pics before. They are wide, but even with 40" tyres, this one was considerably shorter than my disco.
