Well I take it all back. The beast that is the millstone around my neck showed its true colours today. I went on a green laning exped today with a mate of mine that is a bit of an offroader (he is an instructor with a 90 diesel with hydraulic winch, sand ladders, high lift jacks and pads, land anchors, etc) and things got very dirty immediately. I am sure he was trying to get me stuck so he could haul me out but despite having only road tyres on I plugged on through the mud and deep water :D I struggled a bit at one point going sideways on in nearly two foot of muddy water but my V8 just powered me out where he actually struggled. What really made my day was getting out of my lush leathered up becarpeted vehicle with dry feet and him getting out of his with sodden feet :D

My mate got some video as he was genuinely shocked to see me come straight out of the river we went through. I'm up on the plain where you do a spot of trail biking I believe.

Ah cock to it mate it doesn't matter. After I've been offered £2.5k for a wagon I've spent nearly £3k in new bits on I've kind of decided to just kill it now. I am not giving the car away I'd rather enjoy it to breaking point. And having given it some today I think that might take some doing :D
