So, the Original HMMV doesn't classify. Wow, that's a bold statement. The Original HMMV, was designed to get through DEEP mud/water/sand/snow with ease. HMMVs with Rim-Drive like it has and 43 degree incline bite, many elements from specially designed "rock-climbing" vehicles, many elements from early Baja vehicles and a very well balanced weight distribution are indeed very offroad. Of course the consumer versions of them aren't quite what I'd call "clones", the Hummer-1 is as close to it as any consumer can get. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
