    Angles, whats your most extreme

    While at Appin on the weekend we did a section where you went through a cutting that had large ruts that put you at an angle.

    Watching all the cars go through it didn't seem that bad till we looked at DEFENDERZOOK go through 8O 8O .

    Whats your most extreme angle, is this something you would do, if so then a pic would be good, if not then we'll have to imagine it.

    "Zippy" Videos?

    It's sooooo slow Baz. It keeps buffering avery second or two and doesn't play. Are they having issues that anyone knows about? I'm on a 10mbps microwave connection direct to the internet backbone at AAPT and it still poor.

    Nice side angle Tony.

    My worst angle was up in Coffs Harbour. We were in our old Patrol and going up a grippy slope so steep that the front wheels had absolutely no weight on them. I had to get Jenny to lean forward in her seat so that I could get then back on the ground to steer with....... :?

    It might be getting heavy traffic at the moment, it's peak time in the states right now, this could be it.

    I have had it come up with a message sometimes saying that there was heavy usage and to try later so this maybe why, it's never done what it's doing now though.

    Another Land Rover advantage - a light aluminium body that results in a lower centre of gravity. Gotta love it.

    A few times I've had the RR on a side angle whereby i could touch the ground out the drivers window ie half the car up an embankment.
