I was driving along (I think) the A428 near Cambridge when I passed a very extended red Defender. They flashed their lights and waved very enthusiastically. I've never had a Defender flash before!
Has anyone seen the car I'm talking about before or know anything about it? I don't think it was 6 wheeled but it was seriously long. |

I tend to do both. Quick flash a little further away to wake them up, then a wave as passing.  Monsieur Le Grenadier

Could well have been that one.
Weird that it has Wolf wheels on the back axle and the standard steels on the others. |

I'd wager that the four are what the car came with, and the wolfs are what came on the extra axle they bought!

I wonder whether that Red creation is "six wheel drive" or "four wheel drive" ?
I'd guess the added rear axle is not driven . . . but it would be interesting to know ? Here's another six wheeler . . . again dont know if its six wheel drive ? Click image to enlarge |
