On a more serious note Gareth, better not let Betsy snort too much of the stuff, she might become addicted to it, we used to have 6 man RIB's powered by 25hp outboards on the ship and when they didn't want to start folks started to spray WD or some other special Quick Start spray but it seemed to make the engine more and more difficult to start over a period. Don't know how the spraying caused the addiction or even if it was really the true cause......Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

Chesters - good video ! Could almost hear your wife saying "are you sure there is a Tesco up here ?".
Lets see the rest then - after all, it is an implied condition of taking part in any offroad event that all of your slips & trips will be captured for posterity and posted for all to see
PS Just returned from a night time competition up at Ridsdale. A fabulous event that started at 10pm last night, offroading finished at 1 am and the around the camp fire beer, whiskey and tall tales finished a lot later (thats the nearest emoticon I can see for a tied, jaded and slightly hung over Sunday morning). Off roading at its best - hell I might even keep the Tough Truck after all !Disco 4 TDV6HSE

Three more videos uploaded.
Grey Disco with side steps, I think its Dirtydisco, tell me if I am wrong.
Buck Blue Disco up the hill. Great grip! Think its Rob.
Smarticus going down the mud slide. Front end digs in the mud, and the way out is also quite impressive.

Wow Chesters - good movies.
Not sure if the one of my Truck going down the steep gully is going to help me sell it though ?
To people who want a well cared for Truck - that will give the game away - she's had a hard paper round.
To people who want a really tough truck - that slope looks way less steep than it really was. That run was more like controlled falling rather than skilled driving. In 2 places at least the vehicle free falls about a metre, in one of those landing on its nose !Disco 4 TDV6HSE

My backside was not in the seat at that point, but my feet were standing on the bulkhead, it was very steep. If you hadn't told me to pull the camera back it would have gone though the screen. Great fun, my son thinks your landy is great, especially when you went through the Somme the wrong way.Arctic Frost Discovery 3 TDV6 SE, Active Rear Diff, Adaptive Head Lights, Tow Pack, Ebony Leather, Roof Rails, Mantec Guard.

Cracking videos Chesters, Smaritcus the video of your 90 in action will just proof to folks that it has been used for the purpose that it was designed for - to go offroad and not be "phased" by any terrain.
Chesters can you post the video that you took from the inside of my 90 in the Somme?Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

Guys I have no problems with pics of either of my cars with their plates being posted - there are enough photos of them splashed across various forums for me not to be worried these days!Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300
