........for the reason here in the UK its the 25th of Dec(guess it should be 1225 for your side), i have many videos of my great friend rick or known as v8rick, he was a mechanic god in the mitsi world of pajeros,deli's(L300/L400)and anything Mitsubishi . From range rovers to...........well you get the idea, he could fix anything on wheels and did 40yrs on HGV's.
I found out on boxing day i had lost my great friend rick on Christmas day,this Christmas day and devastated is not the word!
Here is just 1 little video of many from our little ventures we had out and about on green lanes(off road/wheeling depending on country and what you call it).
He is in the first paj
A character and a salt of the earth bloke, never forgot and loved by many.

Kids chucked in the shogun and of I set to see what had happened
Well a van got stuck in front of Rick, as he undertook he plowed into about 3ft of snow

The approach, i remember thinking WT.....looked like a snow blower blowing across the road , bit further back the snow was up to the roof of cars!!
Rick had already dug all this out!!!
