I get the feeling that thing could be a hell of a lot of fun off road  8)

Absolutely...

It would be a bit cumbersome on-road though. ;D

Any tracked vehicle is a pain to drive, what yer need is one of these

These things are awesome, and you can register them on road, well in sensible countries, not here. I just want one.

i hope you sought approval to say "I just want one" TM - from the General before writing that  ::)

but indeed, interesting vehicle

Why would you try to control a tracked vehicle with a steering wheel, that's not going to work well...

What you need is two levers on either side of you, one that controls the speed of each track.  And you don't want to try to turn too tight, as the tracks aren't really meant to be twisted sideways and I'd think that would be damaging to them.  There goes the brilliant Mercedes turning radius...
