The second engine comes in handy for the later projects and you'll find out in the coming weeks :wink:

Otherwise a lot of their challenges would be won by unmodified Landies :lol:

I've always thought that "I'd just enter a 109 truck, it'll go anywhere and can can bolt anything onto the back as each challenge arises". But now i realise there are rules that explains why it hasnt been done before.
