:angel: Why thank you wise one, cant i just repent and move on. Or i was thinking fix the brakes and fuel pump in the haflinger which i would use to bash around in the bush would that be enough?

My D1 is my daily driver and I did not see anything on any of those video that I would not attempt with my D1 (I didn't say it would survive but it probably would with a few battle scars).
Other than perhaps bending the roof frame out of square in a minor roll over what is the risk? D1's are dirt cheap and V8 ones are FUN!
Now if someone organises a bash like that some where in SA please invite me!
My D1 needs to get dirty and a few more scares will just add character.

Yeah i think i like Grover to stay in as good a condition as possible as he is my daily driver.
All i need is a fuel pump for the haflinger and im set, it need to have the brakes fixed but ill do that later :p

See how many of the rolled?
I did glimpse a proper 4x4 at the 2:14 mark!
5k ! get a RRC mod the hell out of it and have change left over :D
BTW, yes you are evil ;)
I had to google Haflinger... I was wondering how you could put money into a horse to get it running again!
IMHO, if you want to have any real fun on the tracks, it needs to be a dedicated weekend beast... Otherwise you won't want to sink it in mud just to see if you can get out :D. And if you do, its going to be a very uncomfortable, smelly drive to work on Monday!
I also think it saves me money (maybe i haven't really thought this through :angel:) because when things do break, it can sit around until i can find a cheap replacement and find time to fit it myself. Dropping it off at the mechanic on Monday morning is not a good way to do things (if you happen to like money, that is ;)).
I am definitely not a hard core offroader (just a bit of fun really), and my Rangie is weekend only. If i can't hit the tracks, maybe just to the shops to keep it running...
Problem is, once it is a weekend beast, you tend to pour money in it so it looks and works like a weekender! IMHO, i'd rather do that than spend $ at the mechanic in the "Monday morning" scenario...
