I know you need some speed to get up there, but that's just stupid. Idiot 100%

Thanks for perspective.
#1 They really arent worried about damaging the car. It is made to be wrecked and pushed. A normal person without Brandy would stop at the 6th? attempt if it was his car.
#2 They had a thousand cars on the last weekend at the track, dozens attempted, only 3 made it to the top. Most only got to ARB sign.

Content video for views. Still fun to watch.

Anybody test drive the BYD Shark?

Convinced my Colt will do that 😂😂

Wonder if they have taken an INEOS to that "hill"

In the middle of Botswana or Kaokoland with a full load I really don't want this situation thanks!

Otherwise a very nice bakkie.

Cheers,
Jacques

I like the idea of the Shark but it's not a work horse or Overlanding double cab.

It's a double cab for daily to work and back and taking the family to the park with access to more packing space.

Hi all, newbie to this forum. Chris Baker’s Shark is already repaired and running again, the damage was not nearly as much as originally feared. Beer O’Clock Hill has been the demise of many a brave 4x4. By the way, 2 other Sharks eventually made it up.

Yep. I did, and I was immediately hooked. To be honest, I was hooked long before that, I already paid my holding deposit in December. I have had it for a little over two weeks now, and I have not stopped smiling

The damage.

So actually a crumple zone and not a bad design of the chassis.

That Beer O’Clock video somehow became the reference, the Shark’s “one little goat”, where there are many other videos where it does pretty damn well, compared to more well-known brands.
I am still very chuffed with mine.

Congratulation Rockspyder! Wish you lots of happy miles of smiles.
I did go for a demo drive, and were really impressed.
