Devon County Show
Just watched the news of the last day of the Devon County Show being cancelled. a rather embarrassing shot of a D4 being towed off a lightly mudded field by a tractor! Looks like this didn't help much!

Saw that too, looked a very poor show (pun intended..Wink)

I have a D4 and pretty sure it hasn't been stranded by a slightly muddy field, yet..! I guess if all 4 wheels spin at the same time, and the tyres have no grip, you go nowhere. But seemed odd to say the least.

Cheers

Come on how many people driving them honestly know what all the buttons are for, they just sit there point it and press the right pedal. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Perhaps they should go land rover experience near Collumpton and learn how to use all of the buttons Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

At the end of the day, doesn't matter what tyres you have or what power you have, if there is no traction there is no traction. Doesn't matter how hard you press the loud pedal it wont go anywhere 110 D250 SE HT
