Well impressed with the kinetic ropes, all the power of snatch towing but without the shock and potential for damage. No whiplash either! :D Project "The Fox Hat" will be prioritised over the summer ;) Title: Re: sunday 18th march 2012 a day at the farm Post by: supersurf on March 18, 2012, 08:29:16 PM its like the landrover version of a hummer :o
