dsl ◊ 2012-10-31 12:55	So private import?
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-10-31 12:56	Very possible

I think the most likely explanation for lesser porridgemobiles would be from personnel on US bases here - either still owned or sold on at end of stay. Any chance (for abit of fun) that Gladding/Cladding was a CDN dealer?
