You have some strange tastes boss! [-o< :D
Series 3 Brad:
It sounds nice and looks nice too.....but its just like taking a short wheelbase landy offroad with a trailer on(well thats what the gallery looks like)
Might just be my thinking but i think its pointless, it has six wheels whereas a land rover has four, which means it will be longer, it might be more agile thatn a 110 but not a 90.
It has all wheel drive, the six wheels all at once, land rovers also have all wheel drive....so there really isnt much difference apart from a twisty bit which might mean that you would win a twist off but other than that its completely useless in my eyes =)
stretchy:
if it gets stuck does it transform into something els lol

look at it from another angle, it has 6 wheels on the floor at all times providing more traction than a landrover, it has a turning circle of 5.5m which is good for a 6 wheeler and probibly not far off a 110 especially as it has a 156" (front to back, 2x 78" wheelbases) it will spread the weight more than a landrover, if your talking offroad and brake over angles it will beat the 90 as it has a 78" wheelbase which will go over what ever and then the second 78" wheelbase will "kick in" i dont think it articulates in the middle like you think, it goes left and righta and up and down not sure it ocelates so no good on a twist off
from an engineering point of view it pisses all over the landrover with out being over complicated.
it would also annoy my naborgh too :D
