Here is the LR in action at its first run in two years. The most it drove was 5m on the back lawn before this event. The final run was the mudhole which killed it by covering the aircleaners and engine in thick mud.

the engine doesnt like breathing and eating mud for some reason. maybe just maybe if I had a snorkel or something I might have got through

Definitly needs alot of work on the flex. Its got completely standard Disco suspension in there. The rear shocks have about 3mm travel

That is a quality piece of video
I really like the bit at the start when the jet that was flying over tried to drown out that stunning exhaust note
Really cool that it couldn't
