Interesting times for 4wd anyway, we had 12 4wd drivers on Sunday, the most we've had for a long time.
I've seen Stu running a few different cars over time - hell my old BMax was his before I got it, but nothing just looked as 'right' as that K1. Considering Stu hadn't even run it prior to that meeting it was amazing.
The JE boys have built up an XB4 on their facebook page so I'm sure Stu's handled one but he seemed more than happy with the K1.
