Springer, J.,
dissenting:
I respectfully disagree with the majority. I think the exclusion of “farm type” vehicles and “any equipment designed for use principally off public roads, except while actually on public roads,” is very clear. Equipment (“machinery,” “apparatus,” see Webster’s Collegiate Thesaurus 293 (1976)) such as bulldozers, most racing cars, toy cars, all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), monster trucks and certainly dune buggies are “designed for use principally off public roads.” Under the policy language, unless they are “actually on public roads,” they are excluded — clearly so.
