    Went Off Road at a Tank Testing Site !! (pics)

    Went to a place called Hogmore Arena. Its owned by the Ministry Of Defence and they use it to test tanks etc. about 100 - 120 vehicles turned up and we had a great time!! As usual the VX holds its own aginst the bigger cars and gets lots of looks!!


    Before it got dirty!!

    Holy Cow!!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. It appears those BFG Mud "clone" Tires dig-in quite well. I bet those new Kumho's that you were considering of getting would have done well, too.

    I loved seeing the LR Discovery stuck in the mud (with the guy standing on the sill plate). In addition, the Mitsibishi Black Van with the front brush guard is something we don't have here in the USA-- I wonder if the van is 4WD??? The only OEM factory 4WD Vans we have here in the USA is the Ford "Quadravan".

    All-in-all; great pics, thank you for sharing.

    Wicked! That sandy area looks like it was a blast, and I have to ask, what is this?

    I'll take your word for it. My VX is an urban offroader so the only way I would ever get stuck is if a Smartcar ended up under my rear axle. Been known to happen.
