...funny thing, apparently they had a problem with one sided braking. Now where have I seen that before ? :?

Wow this tread took off running, I'm away for a while and three pages. Some great ideas though, the Fiat Panda sounds interesting but I haven't seen one around for a while, never mind the 4x4 version.
Keep them comming guys, all good stuff. :)

According to someone who uses one for his tree surgery business that only happens if stored unused for a length of time, if used regularly they are fine. Unfortunately being stored for long periods was what was required of them when they were ordered and I believe it took a long while and possibly a court case to sort out.
