Tim, if you're going to do it properly then do it like that! Very very impressive indeed! TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.

The RRS was brilliant. I arrived home from Panama on the afternoon of the 10th March and it was raining. That turned to snow sometime after 2300/10th and by 8am on the 11th we had all that land on us! It'sthe most snow that I have seen fall overnight in Scotland since the winter of 1963/4, that year loch Lomond also froze over thick enough for the mail boat deliveries normal done by boat were made by horse and cart right through the winter as the ice was thick enough to take the weight of the horse and cart across it's 5 mile width and 25 mile lenght................ that was spectacular and I will never forget it. We were living in a caravan while our house was being built, having moved to Scotland from Cornwall a few weeks earlier.

What do I want them for? It was exciting enough getting the DEF to the top and back down as under that snow was a solid sheet of ice! I wasn't driving it as I was in the blue FFRR, the driver was Mudalloverit of this forum who had borrowed the Def for the day as he didn't feel his Freelander would make it. The FF made it to 100ft from the summit on its Wrangler M&S tyres but the treads filled with compacted snow which promplty froze in the -19C temperature and no amount of TC or HDC etc could help me get traction so I parked up and continued on in a D1. While we had lunch on the summit 2 guys on X country motorbikes arrived and said they were amazed to see the FFRR on road tyres had got that far, they were frozen on their bikes and had travelled to the foot of the pass all the way from Edinbugh in a P38A RR towing their bikes on a trailor, they claimed that had they known a FFRR would get that far they would have stayed warm and dry in their P38 and followed us up the mountain! My RRs has been upn there too but it was in may this year and there wasn't any snow - just some gobsmacked Germans in a Chvey Blazer who watched my jack up the suspension and engage rock climb mode and just purrr over the steep rocky climb
