    New kid on the block from the UK

    Hi all, I'm new here from over the pond here in the UK, not many Brits here I guess. Just bought myself a 2004 M1097a2 converted to a 4 door 4 seat with deep water fording kit. Have wanted a Humvee for quite some time and took the plunge. It's a bit more modern to what I am used to, my other...
