Its only a small dent :p I wonder if it was his face that hit the horn button on the way down then the onlookers joined in at least he didnt stop and make a scene just drives on as if nothing had happened:angel:

why did he start up on the embankment? which is ultimately why he tipped over I think.

and if there was no real reason why didn't anyone stop him and line him up properly

That's what I wondered, too. Surely he should have had a spotter to direct him.

The trailer may have saved his day. Buggered if I know how it came back other wise.

You DONT need to drive gunshot. It is a macho ego thing. If I was that far from a city I would not drive it in a blue moon! I'd stop and slide down it on my back side with the kids!!!!

just watched it in slow mo :eek:
those nissans have strong windscreens:p
cant believe it didn't break he hits the pillar pretty hard. broken snorkel ram and a dent. lucky he had the camper attached.
surely would have had a supply of clean undies in there:angel:

To me it looks like the front left wheel/bullbar actually hit ground rather than the pillar making full contact. This probably stopped the corkscrew effect he had started. If the slide down had been longer then he may have gone over regardless of having a trailer. Either way very lucky to get minimal damage and still be able to drive away.

It is quite possible that others/a spotter did try to stop him, re the line he took, but momentum took over and he was unable to get out of it (have a read of the comments below the video)

It certainly has changed a lot of the past year.:eek: Some of the other options don't look any better/easier. I'm glad we did it when we did.:)

is that the only way around / through / past gunshot?

am thinking of a trip up there and might not get furhter than that if that is the only way around.

I got my disco as car to use as a car, not for things like that

Probably the large wide Nissan bonnet obsured his view and he just did'nt see the imbankment.
I drive a couple of different makes on dirt tracks for work and have found this particulary when going over imbankments or similar.
Whereas with the Defender the driver position is up high and the bonnet is shorter and lower down.

Give me a Landrover for rough country anytime.

There is usually other options at Gunshot.

There is also a bypass track that misses Gunshot Creek altogether. Looking at the map, you take the next right about 3km after Dulhunty River. The bypass is about 24km and brings you back onto OTL about 14km north of where you turned off. The bypass takes you past the Heathlands NPWS HQ.

Alternatively just go straight up the Development Road etc, and miss the OTL altogether
