Hee Hee Hee, I drove every track in that section and went over all the bits bar 2 !! didn't ground until my foot slipped off the clutch in 1st when I had to put some gas on to get out of a rut ... both front wheels into the air and BANG left a perfect impression of the Sump Guard 3" into the mud, even bent the BullBar slightly off the level..
It's the Lower Section we'll have to be careful in .. might have to have another test run to check on the slope leading to the umm.. little puddle!!

Also , until they post in here I can't add them! lol

Well Marko, there should only be the one Bike there this time Mate, but plenty of Fronties to help !!
Which bit were you on to get stuck? as I got round all of it but didn't attempt the Ramp on the Left as you drive in nor the Motorcycle Jump.
Did you go down to the Lower Quarry for the "Little Puddle" ?

It was my dad who got stuck, In the upper section theres a dip with two very deep ruts and the bottom of the car touched down and two wheels where off the floor, Made a 50mm indentation in the ground where it hit...

Both out cars are standard and on road tyres, Not sure if thats significant.

What have you got?


I have 1995 sport its fitted with a C20XE engine with a few internal mods, just fitting a high torque exhaust manifold, it runs about 170bhp but still got to do some more mods so should see 190bhp and double the standard torque. Just wanted a standard 4x4 when purchased it but got carried away.

I ain't got a Clue Marko, but Mine's Standard as well!!
SB's actually sits Higher as She's got some Fat Tyres on her Fronty

I think I know where you mean!!
I took that bit slightly off-centre so I kept one side on the level

Don't look at me!! You've seen the Vid earlier in the Thread, I'm a nut when it comes to water!!
The best people to talk to are the ones who go Green Lane Driving, they come up against some terrain that's a lot rougher than any Quarry/P&P Site
