Got to say, really like the grass on the flooring, it sets the scenery off a treat.

The (slight) downside with the turf is that you can carry slightly too much speed when going over the bridges......

I'm not following you, sorry.
What is this
too much speed of which you speak!?!?
But then again my tank of choice varies between a 2A6 and a ztz-99a
Seriously, though, it looks like you lot had fun!
I'm just plotting the route from my abode to your meeting place… Hmmm…

Ermmmmm. Have you seen fast and furious? it was the first time i have seen a T-34 get airborn on a hump back bridge and land on its side in the river
Vin Diesel would have been proud.
Seriously through was your tank okay when you got home Rob. Glad you enjoyed yourself though.
and look forward to seeing you again.
regards Denzil

No damage, and was quite spectacular....
One of the advantages of it being all plastic & effectively unpainted is it's much harder to do any damage - was driving fine once fished out of the river. Have just bought a spare though!
