    Ida had a go in an old leafer series after the first run, low enough tyre pressure with the right pattern might have had a shot.

    then I saw the second vid.

    no chance now, that clowns torn it to shreds.

Keep those kinds of opninions to yourself. I could say that all Land Drover drivers are soft as they seem to be too busy writing on chat sites and not out doing real driving. Get off your high horses and show us some of your action if you are so good.
    fair enough the personel attack has no place on any forum(even tho i agree) , but think the way he attacked the hill looked very irresponsible and could of injured more then just himself but then again looks like he doesn't care about much,and the rest of what you have said is BLAH BLAH BLAH what are you doing here anyway if you dont like land rovers or there drivers

    why dont you show us some of your action shots or dont you have any left the camera behind did ya

    hat goes off to Michael Bowen now thats what good driving is

    MS4wd you want action come up for one of our trips am sure we could accomadate you for a weekend you can stay at my house ,don't no what my dog Rover will say guess you will have to be nice to him because he gets angry very easily,guess i should not tell him you dont like rovers

    Well mate
    I have driven that track and yes that guy is an idiot for driving it like that. The potential to cause a fatality to his occupants or people around him is huge. Well you'd know that because you make assumptions from a video clip How can you comment from your bloody chat site in melbourne.

    Tell you what Open invitation for you to come on the next "soft Land Rover" trip to Coffs. You can show us how to drive "Impossibles" hey.

    Hope your high horse has lockers and 35's at the least.

    You dug up a thread from a year and a half ago to defend a person who is quite evidently driving like a reckless idiot?

    Right. But we're the keyboard warriors - of course!

    PS - It's a Land Rover (not Land Drover). If you are going to have a go, at least get it right.

    The guy in the old Jeep did a good job.
    The other guy needs to be careful its all fun until someone gets killed or hurt.
    We have all seen or heard of it before rolling a soft top Jeep / Toyota or anything for that matter in those conditions is often fatal.
    I know of one guy who pushed his girlfriend out the door as it started to go the Toyota rolled on her killing her a pretty upsetting experience for all.
    I think you should be careful doing that type of thing with passengers on board.
    Not interested in a slanging match with anyone but trust me when the Police and Coroner get
    involved its not fun and you often look back wishing you hadnt done what you did.

    What a boofhead

    This IS the reason I refuse to accosiate myself with non-Land Rover people, typical yobbish and big headed attitudes like that make me chringe.

    Land Rovers drivers aren't soft, we're careful and use our veicles and features as they inteded to be used not a bunch of Bundy rum fuelled bogans who like to go for broke at 50000 rpm at everything and shout 'yahoo' like a bunch of cowboys

    Go back to 4WD action or Outers, you fit right in on those forums with that sort of attitude. Mods please lock this thread before it gets ugly

    wow - how welcome do you make a person feel. However, I am glad that at least one of the postings thought that personal attacks had no place on chat sites. Cheers to that person. One might think that if some people had actually read my posting they would realise that I was not calling "Land Rover" (apologies for the misspelling - but other people have written worse on this site) soft, but giving an example of a generalisation that other people feel they have authority to give. Shame on you. Also one persons aggression gives me a little cause for concern.

    Anyway - I won't be back. Thanks for the chat. I will be off having fun in my tough Daihatsu Feroza climbing carefully up the "Impossible", both hands on the wheel, seatbelt on!

    P.S By the way I was there. Even all the way from Melbourne...
