I was playing with Google and “Solent Overlord” and came across a photoset by Mark Rutley on flickr I asked if I could link to it and he kindly agreed, there was also one image of the man that makes OVERLORD such success that I particularly liked and that is reproduced here:

If you have thought about investing in a vehicle but need a little advice this totally biased guide may be helpful …
The Daimler Ferret is an ideal “starter” armoured vehicle. Why? Because it is easy(ish) to drive, very satisfying when driven well, is comfortable on the road and cross country (better than my Discovery) has a good road performance, is a capable off road performer, has a good spares supply, will fit most garages, can cope with the Tesco shopping run and, if you are used to big American cars, fuel consumption is not too bad.
And women think it is cute!
