Yes, saw that last week.

Whilst it’s impressive for a modern SUV

The stand out for me is the absolute lack of wheel articulation.

It reminds me of some Doris in stupidly high heels trying to walk up the cobbles in Guildford High Street (most Saturday night pre COVID if you were interested)

I believe that if we saw a stock Jeep Rubicon on 35’s (they will fit without the modifications that Defender has had) then the Jeep would literally have walked the route in half the time.

So it’s impressive and not at the same time.

Interesting to compare that to a standard 60 year old Mog over the same terrain, keeping all 4 wheels on the ground and no wheel spin in sight.
Looks a lot more relaxed... Whistle
