I filmed it running around the paddock at the airport and also running up over the mound several times.
The engine appeared to have a bit of a miss and splutter and the tracks were very loose, as well as having no weight on the back so it was running under less than ideal conditions.
Having said that it was spectacular to see it in action. Bob can of course give the driver's perspective but on the video it appears to steer quite well although it seems to take a lot of effort to get it underway. It needed to rush the hill to get over because of lack of traction.
As to the video I shot it will of course be in the next DVD along with a chat with the owner.
