This takes balls of steel

I would drop the "F" bomb myself too if I was there

I've never **** my pants on the trail; but if I was where they were at about the 8:18 mark, I might've. The first truck's crossing was even more scary...at least these guys were "one tire track over" so felt a little more assured.

Wow

 

[roverman]

Yeah, I saw this a while ago. I don't even think I coulda been the guy OUTSIDE the truck! Crazy.

For a while I thought the guy was driving AND filming, before I remembered Brits drive on the right. Definitely steel balls, or maybe no brain! it's hard to tell some times

I got seriously jealous over the nice purr of the diesel engine us Americans will never have.

Glad you liked it

of the diesel engine us Americans will never have.

Wouldn't bet on it..... Maybe Ford are planning to build diesels over there

Ford was going to put that v8 diesel in the F150 pickup, but when they sold the Rover brand to Tata, they canceled that engine plan for the 150. Not sure what that means for the LR3

The TDV8 line is still being installed in Mexico - hopefully Tata will still want it. Should be some diesels hitting the States soon (ish) though.

I should drive to mexico and get one and just use my current registration and ag to get it into the states
shouldnt get pulled over for speeding as easy with the diesel anyway
