Dave White119 viewsDave pulls the 100" up to the drop and starts his multi point turn to try and get the vehicle facing down the hill. Matthew keeps an eye on the front left wheel so he can let Dave know before it drops off the edge.

Dave White641 viewsDave has finally got his motor facing in the right direction. The front light lenses have been removed because Matthew smashed one of his sidelight lenses at the bottom of the drop and as the military ones simply unscrew there's no point in putting them in harms way.
