Fourth of July parade.

Just cranked up and washed my Shorland for the 4th parade. Some ask what is it? I reply it is a " captured" British Shorland, jeeps are dime a dozen around here, captured British equipment is much more fitting for the 4th of July parade down Main Street, always a hit...next year it gets the original paint scheme....Forrest green with black disruptor areas.
