Shock and Awe


In the days leading up to a photo-shoot and possibly after reviewing CCTV footage, operators of the local playing-fields imposed a height-restriction at the entrance of the car-park that the platoon had identified as the perfect drop-zone for a PR shoot.

Taking a leaf out of Napoleon's book at Austerlitz, Gromit and I rose before dawn to load the vehicle and raise it to working temperature before departing in a cloud of AdBlu. Within minutes and in view of the entrance, the 4x4 scaling the grassy berm alongside like a Panzer negotiating the Ardennes. And there ~ without even a dog-walker in defence of the ramparts ~ we found ourselves unopposed in the car-park.
