Some time back I was rambling around one of my favorite desert haunts and came upon a truly interesting Swedish Military Vehicle being driven "around the world" by two swedes. It was a Volvo "puppy" they said. ~20" rims ragged and battered looking like a breadbox on wheels. Most functional looking and with a 5x2Forward and 2sp reverse and articulated suspension (read reduction gears) it probably could go whereever a unimog might but with much better fuel economy so they said. Volvo turbo diesel power and 25mpg. But man it was plug ugly! -- -- ___ / __ __/ ____/ Al Knoll HP Performance Technology / / / / / Center Roseville, CA, USA 95747 / _____/ / / 916.785.9453 (Telnet 785-9453) / / / / email: alf@hpptc38.rose.hp.com / __/ __/ ______/ ___________________________________/
