The blood is a neat touch, but he forgot to mention the coffin of soil from the President’s native country, I don’t think think the undead can regenerate properly without it.

Also didn’t realize that “tyre” was the British version of “tire”. Plus, only 60 mph? I bet they have a turbo or supercharger on the diesel if it really has to book.

It is a turbo diesel, pretty much the same engine as the new HUMVEE diesel. My understanding it is an all mechanical engine (uses the older style mechanical injection system instead of the newer electronic controlled system).

Also, all hydro/mechanical style transmission (again, no electronics). All done to make it EMF proof. Can run on jet fuel as well as diesel.

With that engine, it is likely geared to be able to push through nearly any obstacle, I doubt it can top 60 MPH.
