Just to help populate the site a little...
To be fair, I should have know better than to put mine & MUX's off-road cherry in the hands of such a pair of obvious charlatans like Jimbo4x4 & REX...
But I did & we had a great laugh mooching about the local mud pit for half-an-hour or so once the scramblers had left us to it
