    Yes, I did it in one that has the 7speed auto and a rear diff lock. I've also done it in a Subaru Forester.

    From memory Hema rate it as an ‘M’......only being a newbie to VHC and only doing a M rated track prior I was expecting it to be tougher than what it was.....track was in pretty good condition.

    Probably a good idea to have recovery points front and rear, not sure what’s in place from factory, given you are in VHC....just Incase you need a slight tug.

    I don’t recall any high clearance areas, one set of wombat holes and some steep sections.
    The thing is with the VHC a little rain or snow and the big wheeled jacked up japper clan come out .
    With this comes track destruction so the track condition can change very quickly day to day hour to hour .
    Personally i would not be doing it solo in a Evoke just in case

    Yes the orange wheels don’t really match the blue do they!

    Who was it that came down from Sydney in the Freelander a few years ago?

    We all wondered how far he'd get in the Wombat forest before he did damage or had to get skull dragged out of somewhere,, he went places that amazed us all, then drove out, all unaided IIRC. He did however I think have a set of AT's on (?).

    I think you'd be fine in the Evoque,, especially if you have the right company with you,,,,

    The real issue here is the incorrect assumption that the Evoque is actually an off road 4WD.

    Deano
    Evoque has a Land Rover badge, therefore it is a capable off road vehicle, if it's ground clearance and tyre issues are kept in mind.
    My old Freelander 1 used to raise lots of eyebrows, the places I took it.

    You’re right, that’s why I wanted to know if anyone had done it or something similar in the 9 speed.
    Pick the line n go slow as the TC will let you.

    I can’t get over seeing a VW microbus at Lake Tali Karng in the early 70s.......having scrambled in in a WW2 Jeep.!!
