Zeezeebaba Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I was invited to go off roading in one of these near Bordon Army tank training facility in Hants. My old boss had one circa 2005 so probably not as capable as a new one. All went well and it was great fun until we bogged down in a water trough and got stuck Luckily a couple of Landrovers were there to pull us out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
