This is me reversing up a steepish hill, climbing up a 6ft step onto a road, moving down the road a bit and then driving off the 6ft step again.
I had to stop recording at the end so I could get back to work  :wink:

I know the name, although I have never knowingly met. I believe I'm not too far away.

This is me on an older model powered by a 220hp CAT engine. The one above is at least 30% quicker and has a lot more hp.
