    You seem to have realy nice private off road tracks down your way, with some lovley houses, and with less pot holes than the normal roads in the UK, no wonder you met another vehicle coming the other way, and dont worry, its just a habit using indincators when you are on private road LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video by they way.

    And to think, I used to get some gip from various personages local to me about the 4 Sprinters that I had in “stock”. I have serious Sprinter envy now that I’m down to lwb camper and a Vito daily driver. Me thinks I need to invest in a 2.9 classic again, so much more reliable than 2.1 eco pacifiers.
    Nice new addition, and aren’t those tracks across Cranborne Chase smooth 😂
