Thank's Jamie :)

The soul reason for getting it was because a very kind farmer has given me the run of his 200 acre farm for one of my hobbies - rough shooting (pigeons, rabbits etc with my shotgun), so muddy tracks and fields are all fully accessable :D

I've been down a few public by-way's green laning (sp?), and have been given the opportunity to drive on a proper off-road course, but i'd probably end up breaking it, so I gave that a miss!!!

Now you can get really dirty in it :D

Do you mean inside it or out Pete?

[peter026]

Outside of course

Outside of course

Of course :winky:

Beleive me, after several hours of trawling around the farm at night lamping for rabbits (especially in this wet weather), the car turns quite a dark shade of... MUD!!!

For the first mile or so driving home, no car comes within 30 yards of me as I redistribute several pounds of rich, damp soil onto her majesty's highway!
