    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.

    Man that looks like a blast! and I love that g/f of yours getting out there in the mud. She's awesome!
    Also I really liked the the 4x4 (I guess) van and the diamond plated Land Rover.

    Now we see why you were asking about fording depth! What a day! Looks like it was full of action-packed action. I like that pic of the guy sitting on his Suzuki stranded in the water. The one taken from the side. I hope his differential vents, etc. were high enough because it looks like he was in the pond a while...

    Gussie's right - you're lucky to have an adventurous girlfriend like that. She didn't just ride along in the mudfest, she actually got out and dragged cable through a swill hole. I'd say she's a keeper!

    You need to get her some gloves to match those purple wellies though...

    To cool! Looks like you had fun.

    The Mitsubishi Exceed (4th gen black van) is 4wd. I actually saw this on one of the Japanese TV shows I was watching the other night and looked it up. I prolly would sport one if they were sold here in the US! My dad had a 2nd gen (rwd) when we lived in Okinawa, loved it.

    Crotchrocket, thats a nice set of pictures you have here. Looks like a load of fun!
