Maybe not a good day to try to work on improving your hand brake turns.

Mind you, all that weight at the back should help with the scandinavian flicks!

Take it off-road!!!!! I'm sure most 4x4's are crap off road, so prove me wrong. If it can manage with the trailer, it'll be good without

Dammit!! Got half way there & told the insurance only covers folks over 30!! (3 years off!!) Lucky I've got Fully Comp insurance on my car to cover me but didn't fancy writing the thing off and shelling out for it so had to abandon shop & get someone else to take it.

Not to worry, another day another jolly I suppose!

you needn't have worried about hitting people, you just drive over the top of them

I'd have driven it anyway, woulda been your bosses fault anyway for letting an uninsured driver use his vehicle (your insurance probably wouldn't have covered you for running an errand at work!) and the company would have been liable for any claim due to vicarious liability!
