Land Rovers are like women:
They leak when you don't want them to, moan on long journey's, embarrass you in front of friends and peers, and consume more money than you ever expected once you've commit yourself to one.

i don't think any 4x4 would get out of that muck, and what a bunch of prats, i don't know a lot about recovery but that sort of behaviour is beyond me, i did see once a defender pulling a car from a ditch, and the shackle came off the cars tow ball and went through the rear window and stopped at the dog guard, luckily for the driver.

i thought i kept seeing lynn scooting around in her white vitara in the back ground, but then again if lynn was there Adz sure would be as well and i know he would have been knee deep helping out in that muck.

can anyone please tell me why i kept ducking?

lmao

sure, they could have tackled it differently but tbh im sure if we were all honest we've taken similar if not greater risks.

we (not me driving ) managed to bury a nice new lwb defender 110 as deep as that back in 1989 and it was hell getting it out

looked like a good day out to me
