Yeah, I could not believe the G500 with full leather interior and wood/leather steering wheel but no snorkel doing that zone!

I know that it is unlikely that anyone reading this forum could be able to attend but anyway I felt I needed to let you know that the 2006 Villanueva 4x4 Trial is underway this coming weekend 7 and 8 October.

As usual entrance is 100% free. If you end up stranded in Madrid next weekend there's nothing better to do than attending this event. The Club Mercedes G España will also be there.

Cheers

Firstly, Ive never seen so many people watching an off road event, secondly, why are there so many people watching this event, I mean what is the attraction of digging a hole, filling it with water, and watch people think there making a difference by tugging on a rope strapped to the front of a suzuki. prefer your outings in the mountains Jesus.

Well, 1) It's the local festivals and 2) Entrance is free (I know, when living in the UK you don't even know what the meaning of this word is :lol: )

I appreciate what you say about my outings but I tell you this is a lot of fun as well.

Cheers
