Today at Yarwell
So that i don't have to upload all the photos again on my horrendously slow interwebs, i'll just link to the Facebook album i've already uploaded to...
These are the pics taken by www.picman.co.uk of my disco in action on the LRO Peterborough show off road course.... see who can spot the battle damage from the red route first :-p
The disc/pictures were expensive, but well worth it i'd say.... i had my gopro's mounted so when i've done a tad bit of editing, i'll be putting the video up as well

aye still smiling, who says disco's can't take a beating....?!
the good thing is that with a bit of gorilla tape and some manhandling, the mirror is actually lined up and the electronics still work :-p which was handy for the 2 hour trip back up the A1 to York...
that, and the window and door handle/lock are both still fully functional too...

They sure can take some severe punishment in their stride, but they are just a little bit too heavy and wide sometimes.

I believe there was a Defender that got wedged between the trees that got me today... had to get pulled out as it was stuck good and proper.
I spoke to another Defender owner who was behind me who popped a spring going up a hill which threw off his traction control and meant he had to diff lock the rest of the way....
can some one please tell me how Defenders>Discoveries again?
