mike65 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Nice one guys! I wish I could have seen the reaction of the owner when so many men was picking up his car ;-) Just imagine their expression if they came back and found it impersonating a hedgehog. Nice to see a Police Person aplauding such behaviour, common sense in action..:thumbsup: Yes I find them very helpful when it comes to assisting with the avoidance of paperwork. No need to write a ticket for obstructing the public highway. Probably got one afterwards for parking on the pavement:-D Imagine the paperwork if it had been turned into a hedgehog.

Jack Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Stunning John and thanks for posting. To see those guys in action was something really special and total professionals. We pulled out of Maiden Newton and also on Jims Sherman was Clive S - I slowed the tanks down so we could wait for the Dragon to keep up and Clive S said to me " the Dragon isn't there - its stuck and that's a problem Jack" I thought to myself that after we took it through Dorchester town the day before at lunch time rush hour there will be no problem - told Jim to punch on which we all did and we regrouped at the top of the hill......the Dragon came blasting UP the hill and we regrouped. That thing can shift. Hats off to them and their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Great clip, the thing that took me aback when crawling over the Dragon at A&E was that the rear axles are chain driven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
