J-Lo Driver Training
We have taken on some new staff for site work. Took them to Rockingham Land Rover yesterday to get them trained to drive off road Land Rover style. We went to a local quarry in the afternoon to fine tune what the guys had learnt.
This turned out to be a very worth while exercise as there were some chaps on site messing about with their "modified" trucks. We watched these guys for some time, this gave my new lads a good incite as to what not to do with a new vehicle.

Many thanks - it just seems sensible to learn what my limits are in my own 110, as it has a 2" drop and anti roll bars Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Matt - don't worry about a 2"drop and anti roll bars; i have that on my 300 and still went around the intermediate course at Eastnor and the LRE instructors said i went further and smoother than many standard vehicles.


great pictures Andrew, by the way Thumbs Up
