All, I distinctly recall seeing a news clip during the gulf war, of some brit troops ramming a snatch Land Rover through the front gates/doors of (I think) one of Ghadaffi's palaces.

I was describing the scene to a mate at the weekend, and I've trawled youtube for it, but had no luck - any ideas??

Cheers

Yep - IIRC, there were a set of stone steps in front of the doors, and they drove the LR straight up the steps and through the front door - KNOCK KNOCK, ANYBODY HOME????
