Mission impossible ?? yes it would be for anything else
-Obese Toyota Land Bruisers will be frothing at the grill. . . .
-Nissan 'Trols, better stay under the bridge. . .
-Another prime reason why the green oval sticker says: 'Don't follow me, you won't make it'.
-Maybe it's time for the Oxford dictionary to re-define the word 'awesome'.

Seen those before but still love em!

I reckon there would be some nipsy puckering on the way down in the RRS and on the way up in the D3 especially when it started going backwards!

You'd wonder if at that angle normal suspension height would be the way to go for lower CoG and more pliant ride?

Bet he had his thumb jammed on the CC slow button for HDC all the way down!

I think the higher rear ride height is caused by the weight transfer to the front on the downhill run.

Well done ol' chap, and that was before the 'bakkie' morphed over the years putting on excess bulk. :p

it's pretty insane to do that in such an expensive car, but in the world of the super rich, i guess easy come, easy go is in a different dimension.
or they do not understand the danger.

but having said that,
what an incredible climb and descent.

what an incredible climb and descent. You never called me insane when I took my then $110k D3 through Ormeau and all the other trips we did :p and I certainly wasn't super rich. Though some people thought I was nuts....I just always saw it as using the vehicle what it was designed for. Plus I can now buy it back ;),

My front drive is about that steep. Cheeky did that....:cool:
Certainly WidowMaker at GHM would be about that steep (maybe a bit closer). Who wants to try :twisted:
