Thanks Andrew
That looks great! Please could I be added to the run over list too.

Out of interest, would vehicles tend to pick up some damage on a trip like this? Obviously I would imaging it always changes after the summer with the river having come down, but is it usually rough...

Hmmm.... dink jy dit is a stadige ding wat gebeur, of is dit die oomblik n mens n LR koop?

Hiers n' foto van my voorige voortuig in die ou dae toe ek seker minder "ondergeskik" gevoel het :cool:

Oh you heard that?

:)

Ja, I actually got splattered from top to bottom :)

100 percent! ;D

But, also if I didn't take any pics and vids, not many would have believed it...

But I also really don't mind getting pulled out by whatever brand either. It's all part of the...

Too true.

Here's the video

Yip. That is correct!




Anjo, I think you just got baited.
Nobody in their right mind would believe that an Evoque could compete with a Land Cruiser offroad. Not even me :D

But that's...

I'll chat to the wife...
Stranger things have happened ;)

If there's a Landcruiser going, I'll just bring the Evoque though. Proven to pull out Landcruisers safely ;D

I'm in.

Do I bring Evoque or New Defender?

"No wat nou huh?" :p

When the dad rocked up (in the other cruiser), the son said "Pa, oppas, jy gaan ook vas sit" to which he contorted his face into the most squinted contorsion, and muttered a loud "agggghhh man" ....

📢 "Next!"

In the end, this one was actually recovered from the front by an old Defender, as that was where the other recovery straps were already fixed on to....

I really don't have hang-ups on the topic of which manufacturer pulled which out.

But today was quite funny and unexpected ;D

2 Brute Landcruisers stuck near Benoni, and had to be pulled out...

Sorry I missed it. I've been dying to get to De Wildt. Will check all the photos and video links tonight from the laptop rather.

Did any of the softies go up Gert se Klip? Did any attempt it?...

I don't think anyone could have said that better.

Straight to the point!

;D

Because I like the look of it in offroad height ;D

See,
When I buy a vehicle, or date a girl, call me shallow, but for me, looks do count. Which is why I didn't say yes to red-haired Sally to...

Engaged? I really hope you are referring to your diff lock engaging, or engaging low range? ;D

Marina beach, KZN

Little Switzerland, Drakensburg, enroute to the secret cottage

Did some of the course today.
Wife and kids did not have the best time.
Very rocky and bumpy. Very overgrown. Not very well marked. Lots of flies from all the cow turds. Only did the first half....

Well that aged well!
BBM... remember that!
;D

Shhhh.... only undercover ;)

Yes, this one ^ is correct.





Long trips are very comfortable as most big vehicles with a long wheel base are.

It's quiet and it's noisy. Let me explain....
I have the explorer pack,...

I was referring more to performance.
For me, the most important performance is straight line acceleration and tractability. It's the one I'm going to explore the limits of the most. Speed limit...

Thanks ....Missed that one.

R 1 516 000
298KW,
0 - 100 kph: 7.8
Not bad.... I'm quite surprised it's so much quicker than a LC 200. (Obviously being a petrol is going to bring that advantage)...

This is quite often the case, but more so though on a vehicle vs vehicle type accident. (As opposed to binning it into a tree)

(Wasn't this the accident where the Audi's speedo needle was dented...

Quite simply, there's nothing that'll beat it off-road, that will beat it on-road.


Let's consider its specs *

(Defender P400 HSE)

0-100: 6.0 sec
clearance: 291mm. Appch:...

2 stars? That would be a 100% improvement for a Wrangler...

Sadly, I used to know someone who said the same thing...

I just hope it doesn't hamper off-road performance though.

It wouldn't be the first time Land Rover have done this knowing that most of their products don't really see much dirt.


With the...

One of the oldest and one of the newest.

Impressively, the Series did the whole trail that all the other Landies did.
But it probably IS just as well, that there are some people that believe in...

Here's the solution :) see pic.


As for a more passive solution RE the black bumpers, use a ductape made by Sellotape. Its the only one that does stick to my black fenders. Afterwards, use petrol...

There's some massive giants on this forum!

I'm going to stop being so argumentative in future ;D

About sums it up :)
