They are a very cute little vehicle. I have seen them disabled in
ambushes without too much difficulty. Even children can stop them if
they have lots of paint and a few big bricks.

They also tended to stop at Zebra crossings as a matter of routine.

Their drivers tended to be more polite than the Saracen and Humber Pig
drivers. The Saladins were the most fun to attack as they simply drove
through the hail of paint bombs and bricks without stopping to chase
the kids away.

I never saw them in an urban situation, except on display outside
armouries after their retirement and an occasional patrol by the Force
Reserve through the suburbs of Nicosia. They were quite tricky to
drive in snow as they could high-centre on the belly plate and wind up
with no traction under any wheel. At the same time, because of their
transmission and transfer case design, if they had one wheel on the
ground that could still drive they could usually keep moving.

The Canadian versions I saw had no turret (they were hell in winter)
so I am sure their drivers would have been really polite.
