All very nice, but I do my off road on a shoe string so to speak, I do not spend over £100 a corner on tyres, etc, my main expense is fuel getting there and back and the £30 day fee, and I still winch out other more expensive motors, now if I was a millionaire I would design a motor that would literally go any where, but I am not so it aint going to happen, anyway I am very happy doing what I do, rant over, probably scotch talking, Rick

So are these people, Many there are running cheap tyres. Being that they are offroad only can also run damaged tyres if they choose. Also none have winches.

It's more of a friendly competition, like a game of pool with mates in the pub.
