Earlier than that - the USA used quantities of British & Commonwealth
equipment during WW2.

Oh yeah, I can vouch for Gene's knowledge too. He's not as old as Tom,
but pretty damn close. Gene was in the motor pool when the motive power
was first being measured in horsepower - large horse, small horsey or, pony.

Now--now....just because I have stirrup scars on my ankles does not mean I'm
old..:-)

well..

I found a skot 8x8 (OT-64?) wheeled APC on the site for 15K euro. Hmm..
considering the price of a similar-sized Stryker, or even a smaller
V-100's nowadays.. I want it badly. But, don't know much about it. Other
than it is big, green, and armored. I wonder if such a thing would be
fun to drive on the highway or around town like the Deuce is?

I'd recommend something that big have a "commander" to look around
and tell you if you're going to bump into some poor sod's BMW. Its
not such a big deal with teany tiny armored cars like ferrets but
still nice. When you get to that size....oh yeah...an extra set of
eyes is nice. Besides, what you can do is then train some friend to
drive and he gets a kick out of driving something different and you
get a kick riding in the turret doing the dashing tank commander
thing to the leggy 20 somethings in the Jeep at the light...

The SKOT is based on the Tatra 813 chassis - engine, trans (to my
knowledge), axles, running gear in general is the same thing. I tooled
around a bit in a T813, and they're pigs to drive, but lots of fun just the
same. Expect 1 - 4 mpg on them. I'd expect, personally, that you can get a
SKOT cheaper than 15K Euro...back when I lived in the CR I had two Tatra
805's, and kept getting T813's offered to me at scrap prices. One major
problem is parts availability.....

It would always be the parts, since we don't have them in the US.
1-4MPG, that's really low, but maybe it is common for light armor. The
4 I can see, but the 1 bugs me.

So,what parts generally are most troublesome on these monsters? It's
very interesting.
