questionable 4x4 ownership

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

questionable 4x4 ownership

after seeing this video on a day of tragedy in devon, you have to question some peoples ownership of 4x4's especially soft roaders:-

7 vehicles?! including 2 horseboxes and a transit van
what the hell happened?

personally i would have been well happy if the car park was a big muddy quagmire!!!
went to the isle of wight festival once and everyone got stuck in the car park because of the mud
i drove over a 5' grass bank and through a small ditch and was out in less than a minute ;)

As it was a County Show with Horse boxes and Chelsea tractors etc,could the Hooray Henry brigade have been high on the old Champagne.

You dont see anything like this on a greenlane with loads of Suzuki's do you :lol:

I should just add I'm not sure anyone did actually die, apparently an elderly man got injured and someone else had some kind of facial wound...
