Yes, but cars don't just jump off down the side of the mountain on their own. Quote from piece "I still don’t know exactly why it careered out of control....One minute I was driving up a mountain pass, the next I was struggling with the wheel as the vehicle slid off the road." Must have been d***ing around or not paying attention in the first place. What would the publicity been like if he had managed to kill himself and the two passengers? "Unsafe 4x4 kills 3 in the mountains" "well respected Sun journalist mourned after tragic 4x4 accident" list is pretty endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priceless if so I belive it was a genuine ad in one of the major newspapers, I remember it being mentioned in one of the mags, it got rebuilt and is back on the road I've had the pictures for a while, but I suspect I 'borrowed' them from Land Rover Club Website I would like a hi-res copy of the advert but I've never managed to find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
