No problem for a Stalwart, but you would have to be well strapped in, it would be like crashing into a big muddy embankment at 30MPH, I,ll bet his eyeballs nearly came out on stalks!!!! I used to love following them in convoy at night (W.Germany during the early 70,s) and seeing the sparks and flames shooting from the exhaust stacks at the back corner.
