G'day Chris
We have had one of those 4000 thingies in Australia since 1974. I recall
driving it and veering slightly to miss a Coke can on the road but ran
over it as I wasn't used to the extra six inches (as the actress said to
the bishop!).
Regards

1947 Warwick built thingy
1954 Warwick built prototype thingy

I've only been to the USA once, so my USA geography isn't very good.
But if Texas is now a port - I'm going to pay a hell of a lot more
attention to this global warming stuff........

PS Hey Joe & Patrick - how many of those prototype 4000 thingies do we
have here in Australia? I get so confused with all those prototypes and
'special'
vehicles you guys have.
