Yes, I have the lack of articulation moment - it will be appearing on a short preview vid,

as well as Driftwood climbing through his drivers window (does he want to borrow my horns).

We also have Driftwood's epic attention hogging moment in the clay pit [there seams to be a theme developing here]

They're only screen grabs off the vid, but do the job.

Daliss - excellent pics (I really must buy a new stills camera)
I'm pleased to report that the "bib" performed admirably:

The part where your all rushing down to the ford, the first fronty flashes its lights. Had me giggling.

I know i should know who it is. I heard a air filter if im not mistaken so i think i know who it is. Its been a long night (nightshift) so im not naming names cause i'll probably get it wrong!

yes it is me and that's the Air-Con Unit!! The Air Filter's fine now I recconected the Intake Hose :lol:

The In-Car Vid for that bit is ok as well, but I've passed that and the Exit Vid from Great Alne Ford over to Trugga so He can have a play!

I glanced at the Speedo just before I hit the Water and it was 38-42 mph on impact..wish I'd grabbed a pic.
