Only last night I looked up the 4x4 response for Kent. I only heard about 4x4 response recently and it sounds a worthwhile thing to be involved with.Having hardly been off road ever I would need training.

If the Grimsby story with the Frontera is on the BBC local news others of us may be able to catch it on the 970 channel numbers of Sky - don't know exact channel number but local BBC news can be viewed from elsewhere in the country on the high channel numbers. Local news broadcast about 10.30pm ish??? David.

No point watching the Vid. How did he do that though.
Some of us would consider that a challenge and drive our way out of it.
Looks like the price of Fronteras just doubled.
