The Suffolk Land Rover OC have been 'supplying' the 4x4's for their local ladies driving day for some years. I had the pleasure (??) of using mine there one year. It's amazing to see how some drivers charge about until they realise it's your vehicle  :shock:

The year I was there, one lady  managed to turn a fully laden fire engine on it's side  :shock: They had to pump all the water out before they could put it back on it's wheels. The firemen did all the driving after that!

I used to work for a bus company and we would loan them a double-decker bus for the day. Nobody crashed it though.

I know a few people who have participated and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience - especially the off road driving.

Now if we had gentleman's driving days they'd say we were sexist and insist we make it open to everyone, bit of a dual standard :-k
