Chris's flip front design
gives much better access to the engine area. |
To quote Chris: "It's fun. It really
is driving on the edge. Full concentration required all the
time! Cars are no fun to drive are they?"
|
Chris's Series Land Rover taken at Tixover
Quarry near Stamford.
It seemed to hold its own very well
against all the other machinery there. The only snag
was too much powering through deep water caused the
HT system to get wet.
