New concept for off-roaders
« on: June 06, 2004, 10:48:00 »
Duncan has developed a new concept for off-roading, a more technical approach is required unlike driving Land Rovers, where a point and go attitude isn't always rewarded, as you will see from the pictures below.  :o

A stupid grin is part of the requirements of participation.  :oops:  :wink:

Hi Dave,

That one only goes at a fast walking pace, but it's quite scary on an incline and yes, I nearly did roll it, it's about as stable as a one wheeled Land Rover with a 2" lift.

That view is quite spectacular, better still if you're actually there, the whole island has views like that.

Duncan does run a B&B, if you fancy a few days up there on the Isle of Skye.

HI Frank,

Skye?

That would account for the views. I'll just dream on. I'd feel drawn to driving the hills....
