Spotted on the A1 this afternoon (not a 7)

Surprised how compact, rapid and stable it was, easily keeping up with 70mph traffic.
6x6 and portal axles means it would be pretty unbeatable off road as well.

I love them. I viewed one about 4 months back, got quite close to buying but the seller never got back to me and I bought something else instead. 70mph? I thought they maxed out at 50 and even then the noise is unbearable

It did have a distinctive whine from outside which would have been loud inside the thing - I guessed the gears in the portal axles.

It happily overtook me and all the lorries in front of me when I dropped to 60 to have a second look
