You have one Lawyer in a small town.......he will very likely go hungry. Put a second lawyer in town and they will both do very well.
Robert: Pretty sure I know your profession. There is a TV series named after it, although American based. |

Upon reflection I was thinking the Private and the Staff Sergeant were riding in an open unheated armoured vehicle. Probably dressed in Battle Dress, Greatcoats, Beaver hats and wool scarves. Wearing nailed ammunition boots or maybe shoepacs on their feet. Knit wool gloves or leather gauntlets on their hands. Possibly goggles to keep their eyeballs from freezing. Damn determined men to be out in those conditions.

Hi all,
Happy New Year, I went for a road test today and believe or not i lost control, skidded and went into the ditch with the Mk2 Carrier . I was on my private road and nobody was around so no danger there. My brother in law who was riding along got quite a surprise. The snow on the sloping armor is from the ditch. The front went in quite deep . I backed out of the ditch no problem but NOW i understand this Court case. Nothing like a little experimenting. ![]()

If your a beginner driver you need to be careful buddy, give yourself a chance...going out straight into the snow could be lethal to you.
Carriers are very unforgiving at the best of times. Plus the added risk of throwing a track (unless you have ice scrapers fitted )

As a U/C driver of somewhat limited experience I think a more appropriate description of carrier steering ability would be 'treacherous'. Despite their rugged go anywhere appearance their grip on planet Earth is tenuous at best. Under the right conditions even a fresh cow pat will impede their progress.
Beware! David

"Trust, but verify" is fine in principle, but not at the risk of bending yourself or the carrier!
