    Vlad, that had to hurt your pride more than anything.
    Glad it was not worse.
    Looks more like a Dopey than a Rolly, but could also be Grumpy.

    It got tired and had a lie down, so I'd go for "sleepy"

    At a guess, most likely wrong, weight distribution of the vehicle is different to what Vlad is used to. I found the same driving my 110 as opposed to my disco offroad. Plus observing George130 driving plus a previous 130 i went 4wding with in the past, the 130's crew cabs have to take different lines to the 110's due to this.

    You buggers always pick these tracks that the 130's can't take. We can put our front wheels in the same spot but the back doesn't like that idea. In a 130 you tent to take the corner wider as the back cuts in further or I'm not going fast enough to get the slid right.
