I'd be interested to see how well (or not) my R Class did 'off road'  ....... obviously tyres play a huge part & I only have road tyres on it ..... but it does have plenty of ground clearance.  :y

You drive it round Bolton don't you? The state the council leave the roads in it's pretty much the same as green laning.
