Hi all,
Was out driving today down a single country lane, of course, some old dear was coming the other way in her ****box Vauxhall Corsa, so I took it upon myself to move the f**k out the way for her.
I could have either reversed a mile down the road, or slammed it up a steep mound. Can you guess which one I chose?
Anyway, after filling the exhaust with mud and grass, I was over far enough for the dear to get through. Now, I have never done serious off-roading before, but it sure as hell felt I was coming close to tipping old Dorothy (the car) over.
Does anybody know if there is a certain angle at which my Defender will tip? Did they even conduct such tests in 1996?
I know you can get those inclinometers, but they wouldn't be worth my while.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris.
