Re: the climb!

id like to be able to say id have made it to the top so that move wouldnt be needed, but dont think a 1.4 306 would make it to the bottom, let alone the top!

Re: the climb!

Wow b*lls the size of footballs :D , no way would I have had a go at that.

Russ bottled it about three week ago in the little padock behind the house the one with the very steep slope, tried it on the quad, the thought of it flipping with me underneath was not clever, ended up half way up and then reversing down, to be fair it is a 45 degree sloop with about 20 degrees of lateral fall :shock: :shock: , enough to make self preservation take over from bravado :oops:

Re: the climb!

Quite right and they should be using Toyota Prisus’s if they have to indulge in such frivolity

Re: the climb!

I mean, if we had sand dunes over here, we wouldnt dare do that would we, it would upset the sand ants,or something of that nature.or the red back double crested chufty burble blue fly.
