Went laning on saturday and bumped into some of our EU friends from the netherlands. :lol

Their military police Merc g-wagon was stuck on a verge with 2 embarrassed military police officers. They said they had been there for 3 hours trying to get it out.

When we got there their dutch marines recovery vehicle/team was on their way so waited around for pics. Nice bunch of blokes and there was smiles all-round.

Stuck... How? they dug themselves in and all wheels were off the ground. It has difflocks all around but don't think they'd been given much offroad training :o

They go for ok money, saw a nice looking on on ebay go for 3k a few weeks back but I bet spares are a pain to get.

They are great little machines. Driver error, they didn't even check how deep the puddle was which they were avoiding. They would of got through fine.
