Love that vid :D

If they had diffs on each side I'd have one parked in the driveway in a blink - can be bought for about 2K with full swim gear

Blimey. I know they could swim, but that buoyancy is surprising. You would think they wouldn't just pop back up like a giant green cork!

I drove one at a 4x4 day in the Forrest of dean, for a stag doo. I remember (passenger time) going up a hill with a mate holding on as we seemed to be going vertical.

Nice vid.

If I remember right they came with buoyancy tanks, we grounded one on the port getting it onto a LSL (Sir Tristram) boy did we get in trouble, it sunk  :oops: :lol: well technically we thought it would float but it sunk enough to wedged between the LSL bow drop and the quay slope...... :doh: tide came in enough after 20 minutes to save the day  :lol: and it was driven onto the ship.

I remember Salvage Squad rebuilding one of these a while ago - didn't a lot of them lose the swimming gear later on, as it was a load of extra complexity and they didn't really need it at the time?

I'd love one but the lack of diffs would make it a bit useless. I know there were tricks like driving over a lump of timber (or up a kerb) to reduce the wind-up but it'd be a pain to have to do that every few miles while getting it to a pay and play!
