C'mon tratter boys, beat that!

Wonder if the VCU worked after that?

The doors fell off on the way back up though

Blew the head gasket trying to drive back up...

Was it an accident or an attempt at an insurance claim?

I would say it wuz an accident. Nobody takes a freelander off road on purpose.

Just out of fairness , and purely for test purposes i think we should take a deepender and shove it over the edge just to see how well it does

flash42 · Aug 20, 2008

it would get down fine, and then reverse back up the hill with ease

90boy · Aug 20, 2008

it would do better than a gaylander any day

Tomo1971 · Aug 20, 2008

I notice that it didnt get driven back up though, now that would be a test!!

To scale that all you would need is power (FL has planty of that) and a decent set of knobblies, assuming it wasnt bogged at the bottom and a bit of run at it.
Might even tackle it in Mondo mode

Different story if it had to start halfway up, thats when defender would come into its own.

Anyone ever see Eurosports when the vertical ascent trials on scramblers. Guys would charge up and bail off when gravity overcame speed and momentum, great craic

The Freeloader has never been the problem... it's the people who drive them

Short back and sides then please, while I'm waiting

Who says he left the handbrake off. Mine headed off down hill the day after it passed MOT and the handbrake was all the way on. Its just a crap handbrake.
