    You reminded me. For years I wanted a Scimitar Scorpion.



    The model I wanted could do 60 MPH on the road; all models could do at least 30 MPH on the rough. Handy for when the motorway is chocker: just drive along the embankment.

    Built-in portaloo and kettle. Handy for 'emergencies'. A gun big enough to deal with traffic wardens or tow-trucks. Fits into a parking space ... even if there is already a car there. Perfect for commuting into London.

    As for 4" of snow ...

      It's good off road but I don't think it would be legal to drive tracked vehicle on public roads in this country during peace time...

        I wouldn't mind getting a sub £100 camera in the sales. My ancient 4MB camera is on its last legs.

          Is it illegal? I seem to remember hearing that it was actually legal, but "frowned upon", as the tracks don't do the roads any good. For example, I think there are some diggers which have tracks and can be driven on the road.
