I'm with you Craig! I think the LSVW is a great little truck. I heard all sorts of bad reports about the LSVW and approached using the vehicle with some trepidation until I was sent to Op Marcot '98 in Stephenville, Nfld. where I had unlimited use of one for a month at Camp Indianhead. No matter how much sh*t and kit I loaded in it it never got stuck in the loose sand around the camp, and best of all, it was still small enough to fit through the local Tim Horton's drive thru! By the way, I hold the unofficial world speed record for the LSVW on flat land with no tail wind. I started at one end of the two mile long runway and floored it. She soon started bucking and shaking, and it took almost the entire length of the runway, but I had her up to 110km/hr! Unfortunately, she broke up on re-entry somewhere over Labrador! Great vehicles!
