My Patrol is now a classic car

So having got that status I will be showing the Patrol at the Enfield Pageant of Motoring in May this year, at the moment researching if they will allow a winch challenge of some sort, this all came about because (apart from covid cancelations) I go with a mate that exhibits a Cavalier, but this year they would not let me in unless I was a Classic, so did a bit of checking and anything built before December 1997 qualifies, mine was registered on 27 August 1997, hey ho Rick

So having been accepted for the Pageant, I need to come up with something of an event, my thinking is a winch challenge out in the arena, like put me against all comers, now I am thinking here of something like an old ex army 6 x 6 weighing in at around 12 tons plus, he sits still with his brakes on and I pull him 3 feet against his will, against me and my ground anchor, what do you think?

You should have no trouble finding something to pull Rick, just need the space and the clear from the health and safety guys.
