I drive the larger JCB 3CX (7.5tone) occassionaly and even i wouldent try some of the things more experienced drivers get away with though iv had my fair share of near misses
Though the Dancing Diggers is something worth a watch if you get the chance, very good show. Though the drivers must have had a number of drinks before going on...
