    Thumbs up Colour me Impressed!

    My ride from 04 is a lifted and locked D2a that climbs walls....well not quite but you get the idea. Just before I left WA I acquired a 94 RRC soft dash, auto, EAS, 394k on the clock and road tyres. I have its service history from new and the biggest repair on it was a new radiator!
    I've been slowly doing little bits and pieces to and debating ditching the EAS for springs (did it to a P38 and ruined it) getting lockers etc but havent as yet I have just acquired a new shadow winch bar....so.....anyway decided to take out the rangy for a test to see if the traction control still works and generally to see what its like off road in the glutinous mud at the powerlines at the back of Mt Clear.
    The disco came to pull me out when I got stuck (my prediction) with the missus driving and having her first off road driving experience...she did really well!
    So anyway a picture tells a thousand words and my sons comment at the end sums it up!

    To cap it all off....no...I didn't get stuck anywhere

    I'm impressed with the road tyres too! Perhaps my '95 Classic with working EAS will give an acceptable account of itself... when I get the ABS/TC re-set and back to AWD with a functional Viscious Coupling !

    Love the profound comment at the end .

    PS,
    I placed my dent in the rear quarter panel, just behind the fuel flap...

    Do you own the place that's just put a "Mechanics" sign up at Magpie. I've noticed the people that have just shifted in there have a Range Rover classic sitting in the front paddock. There seems to be 3 range rover classics in Magpie, mine, the one on the sebas-> bunningyong road (sometimes parked on the side of the road with a 6x4trailer on the back) ... pretty much the last house on the road leaving town... and the one at the mechanics place.

    They sure are getting rare.

    seeya,

    No worries... I just watched that video ... That's the hill under the power lines I drove up not long ago.... What the video doesn't show is the fact it's a bloody near cliff face, and your segment is maybe the last 5% of it. It's horrendously steep. I quite amazed you'd try to climb it after rain. In the dry a decent 4wd would get up it, damp I would have thought it impossible due to the gradients involved.

    If you ever see a bright red Classic, with um, plenty of "patina" getting around, don't forget to give me a wave. I'm easy to pick 'cos of the club permit plates.

    seeya,
