just a few inches of gravel when he took it offroad ( by accident! ) a
couple of weekends ago....

I have posted the picture on the homepage of www.motorsport-plumbing.co.uk

Well, take a random 4x4 off a (bad) road, into the bush and you're stuck.

I know my 101 and the father in laws TVR sound similar enough to have people
