LR3 off road
Les,
I just lost all I just typed-let me do this again........shorter this time!!
Ok,
4 weeks ago, Hohenfels(upper Bavaria), Wheels event, 2006, TD6/manual tranny, LR3, all the good kit hanging on it, the guy had driven up to England to pick up a set of the new 19" Goodyear MTR's 2 weeks earlier(I think coming to US in spring). Truck was unstoppable. Most of us have Disco 1's and 2's, Def 90's or 110's or Gwagens, etc with mimimum 2" lifts, lockers or tru tracs, MT tires all the goodies. This guy smoked most of us-that truck was unbelievable(he's been a real serious offroader in the most tricked out MB Gelandewagen you could imagine for years though). Some dragging of the low stuff, but he's a guy with lots of money and bought this thing to use; he didnt back down from anything and completed all runs on first try all day. He would step out and look like he was ready to go to Casino Royal-effortless. So the technology is amazing. But he was first to say, if it all takes a dump in the field he's hosed. Will see if my buddy got pics(my digi camera took a dump that day of course).
Cheers from Bavaria
