Yeah! if you want a real of-roader ya use a spridget! ;-)
or as I do, one of my land-rovers....of course things still
do break, but no frame yet....(just bend when crunched
between a car and a wall!)
Still think it'd be kinda fun to make a spridget an
off-roader(would have to build a custom tubular frame, as
the land-rover series one 80" frame has the right
wheel-base, but it'd be a funny looking thing as the body
would be so high on the frame...would be a fun project!)

'63 midget (as yet still un-named...)
'66 land-Rover 88" pick-up "Elgie"
'95 Land Rover Discovery "the Light Brigade"
spare Land-rove frame...... uh oh! ;-0 nah! not for now..
