At the risk of being accused of doing a RIB International 4x4 test these are piccies of a 4x4 course that HM Coastguard sent me on this week.

once in the water getting out again is the next problem

with some difficulty!

No photos for the assesment course on the last day - they had kept it hidden from us! Probably cos we would have gone home straight away if we had seen it on day one

If you join the Army they will pay you to do this sort of thing in some really exotic locations throughout the world. Bagdad, Afganistan and Bosnia to name a few.

I'm surprised they do that sitting on a bench seat

Were you reversing through that pool?

wavelength · 28 November 2003, 15:26

yep-reversed down the slope to have another b****y go at getting the thing out of that b****y pond.

Awrighty - I just wanna know who gave you guys permission to use my driveway! And another thing - Shut the gate behind you!

not visiting you again Bill 'til you get those potholes filled in

and if I'd been on a jocky seat I might have got it out first time, or maybe the second or....... - I hate that ******pond!

Kids stuff

chrisallse · 28 November 2003, 18:41

you need a real 4x4

Ribald · 28 November 2003, 21:36

But that's a Land Rover

chrisallse · 28 November 2003, 22:50

exactly

simmons0 · 28 November 2003, 23:04

ive got an old SWB series-3. Worst tow car in the world but bloody good when it comes to launching and recovering. A really fun car to mess about in though.

Why not one of these that comes complete with it's own boat so you don't have to go in the puddles

chrisallse · 29 November 2003, 09:44

So do these and you can go through ponds as well as puddles.
