A Coy experiment with our new off-road vehicle. The DAGOR has been put through its paces on the tough sand dunes of Braunton Burrows: as part of the Future Commando Force experimentation and modernisation. How's that for a #dailycommute? https://t.co/ll29TUJbUD https://twitter.com/40commando/status/1230182285829459969?s=20

I saw them last night going through Braunton on the way back to Chivenor air base, very impressive! Unfortunately it was dark so only street lit.

The SMG (or whatever as i dont go guns as such) mounted on the top would be very handy for clearing the outside lane on the commute...........

I see they have the same problem as we have with our defenders .. the doors and bumpers have been pinched already!

There's just one question to be answered:
As previous Defender users, why don't the Royal Marines want the toughest Landrover ever built?

Doh ! Probably because itβs not been fully trialled yet - Iβm getting a bit sick of the derogatory comments from certain forum members towards the new Defender - probably due to envy as they will never be able to afford one - get over it and move on 2017 Range Rover L405 Vogue SE V8 Diesel #16

Basically yes, the US spec ops forces have been using a diesel version for a while now. But I think theirs came with the plastic wheels with no air in them. Looked like a posh alloy wheel but was just a honeycomb of plastic and a solid band of rubber for the tyre. The chassis is completely different to say the sports UTV that I have. Although it looks very similar it is a completely different beast 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |
