Oh god you are killing me with these sexy cars. Also one of the first things I noticed about this car is that most of the high road damage parts of the car are chrome clad.

How big are the rear wheels on the P1? They look monstrous.

All I can think of when I see ide-racing bikes is the photo I once saw of a guy's knee where he'd got himself caught up in his own wheel. I think it was made more disturbing by being an old injury, with relatively consistent skin tone over the area where he'd taken out a one-pound divot .

That probably gets about the same mileage as a H1, so it seems like a practical choice to pull your camper.

I sat in an H2 once, and I'm pretty sure it had less interior room than the 1997 Escort wagon I was driving at the time. Certainly smaller windows and less overall visibility. What an awful machine.

Is it as superior as it's looks and specs suggest, compared to say a lifted land cruiser with all the suspension goodies and big tyres?

The H1 is okay, but you have to remember its original purpose wasn't so much its offroad capability, but to keep up with tanks and be able to fit in the treadmarks from the M1 Abrams and the M2 Bradley. Its got strengths in that the wheels are individually geared down and its got better ground clearance thanks to using half shafts and no solid axles to catch in the mud.

Not for the competitive rock-crawling kind of offroading, necessarily, but for smashing through rough fields and climbing ledges and fording rivers, like you'd actually want in the military. Really good ground clearance, self-inflating tires, a shitload of torque, and with the snorkel I think it can ford like five and a half feet of water.

This is exactly why it's bad for a lot of trail riding though. It's wider than most standard offroad trails. I used to catch my wheel flares in the Defender on narrow trails. An H1 would have no chance going down tight forest roads.

I doubt this is real but I keep passing by this Xterra and had to snap a pic. There is what appears to be a submersible vehicle of sorts on top with two pontoons with propellers and a periscope/snorkely thing on top. I guess the guy is probably just going for a yellow submarine theme, but I have visions of it driving into water and having a buddy shove off from the roof.

poo poo that was fast, it took me longer and I was standing right there! Apparently my Uni is laser scanning it for some company so they can make repro 6R4's. This thing is bloody terrifying, the cage is pathetic and all the sheet metal that's left is absolutely paper thin. The co-driver doesn't even get a door bar. Lunacy.
