There is an excellent description of one of those (The Twombly?) in one of Michener's books ... Chesapeake, I think (which I read for a course in Historical Geography of the US, along with Centennial).

Just thought I'd add it is legal In UK for anyone to drive a tank on public roads as long as the gun is disabled. There's a yellow Abbot Tank that used to be driven around London just for fun. Now try and tell me you can do that in the US. NRA or no NRA

But you can't run with scissors..or at least that's what I was told in kindergarten.

Yes Brits are officially insane. Thats' why they've come up with Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide.., Mr. Bean, Blackadder and offshoots, The Life and Times of Reggie Perrin, Fawlty Towers...to name a few. Maybe they don't travel well but they like them.
