Bring on the snow, I have £500 quid to buy a cheap 4x4 to play with

Your taking this seriously then  :grin:

I have a little experience with 4x4's but I've only been stuck bad twice.

First time in a swamp in a Suzuki Samurai and had to be rescued the next morning by 4x4's throwing straps off a cliff face to get me unstuck as they couldn't get near me.....

Second thime was in a swap (should have learned  :rolleyes:) in my Toyota Landcruiser, I was showing people "how to do it" and hit a fallen tree that stopped me in my tracks - even with locking front and rear diffs I was stuck solid and needed dragging out by no less than 3 4x4's strapped together - dented the rear quarter, passenger door and pride  :grin:

I'll take the 4x4 vs saxo challenge please and yes of course I have mud and snow rated tyres, locking centre and rear diff etc - FYI soft roaders tend to have road bias performance tyres fitted and therefore don't get much grip  :wink:


Can I post pics of said damage? :lipsrsealed: :grin:

‘I expect December, January and February to experience below-average temperatures, with the heaviest snowfall occurring within the time frame of November to January across many parts of the UK.

so basically anywhere in the UK in Winter then... meh... its all balls.

this thread is balls.

Guy likes balls.


i'd rather like balls than have 'wolverine batman & robin the second' on my passport  :wink:
