That’s a very positive move. Cars would be just sat for next 3months or more - get them on the road in the hands of volunteers doing something good. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Clarification that it's the press fleet:
Richard Agnew (@theragers) Tweeted: Media friends. Apologies we couldn’t do the media drive as planned this week, but we’ve quickly redeployed the Defender press fleet to support our partners at the Red Cross to help communities across the UK. https://t.co/juonpv9mWg https://twitter.com/theragers/status/1243258351720546305?s=20 I've seen a few motoring journalists tweet that they have "lost" all their press drives over the next couple of months ~ I wonder if all these NHS volunteers are now going to be driving about in top spec Aston Martins, Bentleys, etc... |

So why don’t the motoring journos all volunteer to LR to be voluntary drivers for the Red Cross and the NHS, that way they would get to test drive and do something More useful than taking up freebie trips....... then we would get a write up about the new cars carrying abilities rather than how good the hi-fi is. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Tim,
 . Journalist, making an effort, without an agenda?
I was responsible for looking after some media types (leftie luvvies) who visited us during Exercise Grand Prix in Kenya in 2003. Bunch of demanding, preening prima donnas. Wouldn't accept spending even one night under canvas as we visited the Battlegroup during all its training phases across the country. We'd have to rock up for the day's training, with everything laid on for the journos, before heading to the nearest luxury lodge for the night, where they'd shower, eat heartily and get boozed up at their Newspaper's expense. And they did whatever they wanted, despite my requests and guidance. Case in point, our 'Jungle Training' phase was being led by serving members of the SAS. I asked specifically that they not be filmed. Whilst in the Jungle Camp during a presentation, i noticed the BBC's producer (a 20-something, tread over anyone, me me me, career climber) and her cameraman, creeping round the side to try and surreptitiously film the trooper from the side. I was livid, she said it was 'her right' and so I sent her back to Nairobi and she missed the next week of activities. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

But applies all the same for any of their staff's vehicles, thought it was a very nice touch
