I’m also led to believe that swingers clubs are also very exclusive, it certainly doesn’t mean I want to be a part of any of them

I am assuming that everyone watched South Africa (SPRINGBOKS) win the world cup. Did you see what brought Richie Mccaw onto the field to deliver the world cup. The new Defender 90, now that is class.
Did you also know that Land Rover because they sponsor the Springboks gave the the forwards the blueprints of centre diff lock and the all terrain rock crawl. That is why they had the best pack of forwards through out the tournament.

I must say, I doubt that even the new defender would push the bok scrum on grass.... they would just push it back over the try line 😀


IT's certainly retained it's English Heritage!

@ Apocalypse
Not so sure performs very well in mud and snow, as I said the Springbok forwards certainly knew how to engage centre diff lock and rock crawl.

It’s all about traction - you can only apply as much force as 4 contact patches will allow you to.

In addition , the system works by detecting slip.. you have to lose traction...

8 pairs of studs with a determined pack will easily push a car across wet grass even if you are standing on the brakes - stock the defender has H/Ts as well, which won’t help...

Most so called motoring (and other for that matter) journalists appear to be plagiarists.
