    ... and I'm quite excited to get out in it after all this confinement.

    The boss has just bought us one of these for getting around the land in winter.

    Took it out yesterday and it was wild ...

    ... can't wait for the snow <laugh>

    I like to treat myself to driving experience days from time to time, and the odd track day. That though looks a different kind of fun altogether. Enjoy it!

    Call in any time you're passing mate, you'd be more than welcome to take it through the Cotswold's back lanes.

    Might just take you up on that mate. I love driving and have a thing about driving mad things. Mad as it sounds first machine I drove on the open road was a snow plough, and it was antique even way back then.

    You'd have been better off with a Unimog. Goes as fast backwards as it does forwards :)

    Sounds brilliant mate. I had a day with American muscle cars recently. I love some of the early ones. I drove a chevy camaro which blew my mind and a firebird which was a thing of beauty.

    One of my favourite ever vehicles was an imported New York State snowplough with all the gear still on it ...

    ... looked just like this, I loved it.

    Took the plough off and drove it all over, 3 speed manual and torque to kill for.

    Bet they made a nice noise. Pretty rubbish at going around corners though.

    Did one of those myself DB9 and Ferrari - absolutely brilliant! Was told to slow down in the Ferrari taking a corner by the young kid who was supposed to be the expert driver! <laugh>
