(Oliver) This was not only a lot of fun for the home team, but it was also a lesson in a way, teaching us some of the extreme techniques of off-roading. Accompanied by our guide Simon, we went out in an old Daihatsu. Sounds a bit rubbish, but using a vehicle that is worth nothing enables you to really test driving techniques to their limits and beyond. The off roading was followed by TANK DRIVING!!!! And we (well I more like) found out how muddy it gets when you hit water with the hatch open!
(Above) The Tank that we drove, as you can see, has a fair bit of mud over it. That was 'before' we let rip. (Below) The Dihatsu which we had driven hard around a hilly area, perfecting the fine art of tearing up a field and scaring everyone in the back of the vehicle.



Look at that engine!!! This is the old one that was replaced. I feel we ran in the new one quite nicely.


40+mph on a small lane... Not sure what happens if a car comes the other way!!!

Its not as complicated as it looks, press the peddle, and off you go, pull some levers and you stop or turn, easy peasy.
