I've driven it, those tyres are ace, Rick doesn't like it when you cover the clutch though

He is right, when we did the offroad training, hitting the clutch in most circumstances caused more harm than good.

With the torque and low ratio you can do pretty much everything on tick over, and even an emergency stop is best to stall the engine so all 4 wheels are locked together.
