Does anyone know if this will be on again this year? I quite fancy it.

Aux tank defo. In the UK the maximum amount of additional fuel that you can legally carry in a vehicle is 20 litres in 2x10 litre metal cans OR 10 litres in 2x5 litre plastic cans. Dunno what the regulations are in other countries or how strictly they are enforced, but its worth checking...

Any recommendations? How 'bout these? Land Rover Defender Heavy Duty 110 Rock & Tree Sliders on eBay (end time 25-Sep-10 21:25:52 BST)
