Thread: Disco Roll-Over video.

Poor Disco reckon they were being silly or just unlucky??

If I remember it was dads car and tyre pressures were at full strength - and first off road trip

Great example of why you shouldn't 4wd alone too. Going by the line he said he took i'd say it was a silly/inexperienced move more than it was bad luck. I wonder if he was a P Plater in his Dad's car...?

Sorry as this is a 4wd Action Video - I would say this was staged to make a "good" video for their mag.

The cynic in me is alive and well as far as that mag is concerned.

In not - fine then I am glad all went well and no one was seriously hurt.

unlucky but a good recovery.

I particularly liked the camera magically appearing inside the Disco, the crew arriving with two, if not three, cameramen handy as well as their shirtfront radios already fitted, the roaring engine dragging the Disco up the hill at speed with the driver not wearing a seatbelt, and the little spelling error near the end.

Well the only thing I would have done differently, and have done on a club trip in Bendethra with a dead car, was to do a double pull .

This enables the first towing car to be on easy terrain while the second towing car may be on difficult terrain. The first car would have little to pull if the 2nd towing car is not on an obstacle. Anyway it worked for us .

I was not impressed with the gung ho pull as they could have easily ended up with 2 dead cars.

Wouldn't you have enjoyed idling down the hill in low first and suddenly seen the bozo brigade come charging up, in, as they say, the wrong gear.
