    yes just to repeat what was already said.... I went to West Harptree on Sunday afternoon.

    No hard sell at all, no pressure, and not even any salesmen !

    Definitely no questionaires. but Welcome drinks and cookies on arrival !


    They let the vehicles sell themselves, and believe me when you take them on the off road course i am sure they will do just that !

    Off road instructors are independent off road experts.

    There are 4 sections. Which you tackle in small groups.

    How it works,.....explains about ESP & Quadradrive
    On Road ..........bout 20 minute drive , er along roads !
    Off Road............reasonably challenging Off Road course
    Jeep Agility....... slalom your jeep fowards and backward and park in the "ahem" garage !

    Each was about 1/2 hour, and then it was off home with a parting gift !

    Worth 2 hours of anyones time, but leave time to register rather than turning up bang on time which quite a few in our session did !!!

    i think you are allowed 1 guest !

    I took my daughter as it was her birthday weekend !

    That said i saw some groups of 3 people , although it may have been that both adults had registered/

    Dont see why 3 should be an issue though, as long as there is room in the front for the instructor ! Give them a ring !

    This looks really great - thx minibug. I've applied in the OH's name - he would be totally shocked if he got a place, but I'm sure he would love it!

    It's a shame Jeep don't off-road bikes!, otherwise I'd jump at the chance (just got the full bike licence) :dance:

    Good luck to everyone that's applied.

    PS. reeeeaaallly jealous of the ppl that have places ;) :beer:

    tip: try different email addresses, as this will increase your chances of winning.

    i did and me & oh got a place!, they normally get back to you within 24hrs so if you haven't got a reply it's unlikely that you've 'won' a place

    I went to Chepstow with my bf on Sat, was great fun. We both won, so he went at 9am and I went at 11, and we went round together as each other's guest.

    Was great fun, we really enjoyed ourselves, esp on the off roading! I'd agree with everything said by Karlsp: no hard sell, they just gave us cookies!
