I know Mr T. I know the project and those who work on it...
...there's also DSTL in your list who have a stake.

Sorry - did mean to sound short - was trying to juggling emptying the washing machine and type - not recommended!
I was only saying that I knew the project but was wondering if a 6x6 Disco was usual! The supacat (yes I only say it passing on Fri) is a nice bit of kit indeed as are the toys it works with.

I'm guessing Jon, that they wanted to use a British tow vehicle for the project so the Supacat SUV 600 got the vote.
With 6 wheels on the unit and 6 on the trailer i hope they have a good tyre company in with them.
Looking at it now the Supacat SUV 600 seems the obvious vehicle to run with the other Supacat.

Think you could be right there...
...and I missed the nuance of the 600SUV.
Nice work Mr T for pointing that out.
