You don't need garden tools. Just use some STTs, switch DSC off and floor it and you'll have the garden turned over in no time.  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I have a set of Cooper STT's that get fitted for playtime and snow (fat chance). For normal use I have Scorpions. The STT's on 17 inch wheels are much noisier and pretty scary on wet tarmac. It only takes 20 minutes to change all for with the help of an air jack and a willing child to bring the wheels out of the cellar!

I bet he laughed his male chicken off.  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

well thanks for all the advice on this people, today i have bitten the bullet and ordered myself a set of Goodyear MTR with some alloys. think the final nudge came last weekend whilst up in scotland on top of a very wet moor. the standard perrili scrapions or whatever they are had me dancing round like Bambi on ice, they were screaming for traction with their unself cleaning ability !! although in their defence they did get me up a fair hill climb and down the other side relitivly well it was getting back out when the real problems started   so had some fun for a while untill a keeper friend of mine came and rescued me in his series two  
anyway thanks again

Good choice, but remember where there aint grip, there aint grip....
I've got to places where normal road tyres would've given up, with my MTR's - but where the forces of nature and physics are against you, then a good pair of wellies comes in handy

true very true but when the MTR's are on and i am in that place the series wont be coming to my rescue!
so i guess one of them sexy hidden winches would be the next step or i should really just leave the disco at home and take something else !! but ....... its just so warm and comfy i find it near on impossible to leave it at home now  www.defender50th.co.uk

why hidden? Be proud of the jewellery that your D3 wears
for one reason or another.....
