    Very impressive list of features Heavy… I couldn’t quite work out how the steering system works and the front / behind rear shocks… fueling food for thought. Under tray much to my liking and most definitely the overall technology is 21st century . Haven’t seen an offroad like that before and the tilt top plate…. NICE!!!!

    Excitement and anticipation are mounting – everywhere I go people want to talk about the Cougar (that’s the buggy not Rob Attack aka TheCougar)) 😆 😆
    Might be a sign for Rob to start driving himself at last instead of sitting around and marshalling for the Flea – a Cougar for the Cougar.
    The Stig is getting one.
