Some weeks ago I wrote a perfectly polite and reasonable letter to the Highway Authorities requesting that the flashing matrix signs on our motorways should carry warning signs when convoys of Oshkosh tank transporters were about. I even suggested suitable wording. I thought flashing up "Warning to all WWII MV enthusiasts it's not a Scammell coming, it's an Oshkosh" would be helpful. The thing is, and I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to, there you are, driving along in a semi daydream, reading the road ahead, when you spot, far in the distance coming towards you, is it a Diamond T, Antar, Scammell ? You get all excited, it actually turns out to be an Oshkosh. Nothing wrong with that, they're really nice and I plan to get one but it's just very slightly disappointing if you were expecting something a bit more vintage. We should be warned.
