went on a Little safari with the dealership

[R-Overland]

So our local dealership offered a 'Trek day' to find out what your Land Rover is capable of .
I brought 'The crusader' (that's what I call my Rangie, after a an english WWII tank).
We meet at the dealership and went to a place called 'Plant Bamboo', where a huge mud event goes down a few times a year.
At the first mudhole there was a Disco , a Defender and of course me going through... at the second hole everyone but me went around it...
I went trough . I took a little Video of it.

On the way back a fellow member got stuck and I got another chance to whip out the winch. I didn't take any pics of the recovery, but everyone else did. So , I should be able to post a few more photo's and videos soon.
When we got back to base camp, I heard that the dealership wants to pay me to show up at all future events and retrieve vehicles and drive around in mud holes. Apparently, they were very impressed with how well The Crusader did

By stuart FL ... Treasure coast Land Rover is planning to do more events.
I heard they want to make it a bit more family oriented, with events kind of like in the camel trophy.
BTW I love the sound of my 6.2L diesel you can hear it a little in the video

Very cool,

If you don’t mind I’d like to PM you my info.
Maybe you can keep me in the loop when they do these events.

Would be cool to drive up from Fort Lauderdale and ride with you guys.
