You need to bring your own Hilux — and ragtag militia.

The Brits always want to buy it off me, probably because of that Top Gear episode. It’s an older one like in that video. About the worst that has happened to it has been a couple of dents from me dropping 330-kg (700-lb) hay bales onto the tray wall. It’s a good truck.

I’ll take an 80 mm mortar and 10 rounds. How do I make out the check?

Also, what sort of truck comes with the AA gun? Toyota Hilux?
