That's why my family still (since the early 80s) drive Land-Rover's. The roads are so poorly maintained, plus the introduction of massive speed humps, which now knacker (or remove whilst traversing) family car exhaust systems, around here. Of course, putting this back on topic, the height advantage on and off road is great for photography! Malcolm
