A little like that disco that had a lay down coming down a steep track up past tomo dam. The lastest 4wd monthly mag actually came to there rescue. It worth buying the mag just to watch it.
When they had a quick chat the driver he said he was running 38psi and no experience and no other car....

From memory I think it was furlong track. Could be wrong thought...
