The guy with the Troopy had traded in a Discovery 3 for it, and I think regrets it! Those things are primitive trucks! Turning circle like a super tanker, no creature comforts - not even cruise control! - and they rattle and bang their way around the country side.

I drove straight up the centre line on Big Red- the left hand one was chopped up so badly you would get all four wheels airborne at the bottom - on the first run, easy as, while the Toyotas and Nissans there on the day all struggled, nearly all failing, apart from one guy with a V8 Toyota, or maybe, Lexus, who got up on his third try from memory. A guy in a 100 series turbo diesel got up after at least six or seven goes.

The others all had new respect for the Jeep...
