Stickyout plastic stuff as you put it will be staying, and err as for the rocksliders, what do you think the stickyout metal bits are!

Did you buy some shares in BP before you made this purchase?

errr its not that bad - 500 mile range, 30mpg on a conservative run, and £70ish squid to fill!

As for no green lanes here - no one is very clear of that on the Disco owners site!

Green Lanes are an 'official' term for unsurfaced roads and tracks that have vehicular right of way, in England and Wales.

Scottish rights of way do not have motor vehicular rights.

The nearest thing to a Green Lane in Scotland is the Corrieyairack Pass in the highlands, it's an old military road between Fort Augustus and Lagan on the A86.

It can be a serious off-road trip and not a gentle dawdle.

Is that the same as an unmetaled, un-adopted road?

No those are side steps so the wee short women that uses it for shopping can get into it

What i have are rock/treesliders and you can pick the car up with a forklift on them.

As to an offroad adventure i shall see what i can arrange.

Definately up for a wee adventure - nothing to heavy as onyl done it a couple of times and it is our only car at present!!!
