No longer an Off Road virgin!
I finally got the beastie off the tarmac this afternoon at a friends farm up in Mottram near Glossop - he took me on a 45 minute thrash round his acres of basically moorland heath - him in an ageing D2 with me following!
It wasn't particularly muddy but we had a great time - the car is awesome!
Mrs N. was not best pleased Even though nothing got broken!

Nope - it wasn't worth getting one though - unbelievably (for the North West) it was not wet enough to get splattered at all.
I'm not bothered though - there were couple of bits where I could have got (expensively) in trouble if there'd been any sideways slipping at allSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
