Girl killed using a Landy roof as a sledge

Teenage girl dies in sledge crash.

Very sad.

The girls had been using an improvised metal sledge, believed to have been made from an upturned Land Rover roof, which is understood to have gone through a barbed wire fence.

I'm guessing a hard top from a series 88.  I bet it would have gone very fast and been impossible to get off.

Very sad indeed but the TV news made a big deal of the roof coming from a 4x4 - another dig !  :roll:
The nice part of living in a small town is that when I don't know what I am doing, someone else does

A tragic loss indeed. My sympathies are with the family.
