I've been playing...

I took my VX on its first real test this weekend when a group of us from the Four Wheel Drive Club took our 4x4's up to the Lake District and drove some fantastic lanes. The main one was the Gatescarth Pass. This Pass is open to 4x4's by permit only and there are just 12 permits issued every month - we had them all for November! It was a fantastic, challenging drive with lots of tight chicanes, loose dirt and steep drop-offs making it pretty scarey! Unfortunately the weather at the top was pretty bad, which mad it quite eerie. We then spent the rest of the weekend doing some other lanes in the area. As can be seen in one of the pics, I had a bit of a mis-hap when I slid sideways into a gully and ended up wedged against a large rock. Took eight of us over an hour to free me. Thanks to the 'damage limiting cladding' there is only a small split and a few scratches.

Nick, hello for Alabama USA

Saw your post and really like your pictures, wish I had some country like that around here. Hated to see the damage (rock) but if you use sometimes it happens.

lol.... seems to always work that way with jeeps eh?

[nfpgasmask]

I just think it's cool to see non-Jeep caravans of 4x4s.

It was funny, the other day the wifey and I were eating at Qdoba. And I chit you not, there were 6 Jeep Wranglers in the parking lot with my VX. SIX! It was awesome too, because I watched one of the Jeep owners come out of a store and he was like walking circles around the VX and scratching his head. Awesome.

Anyway, I just like to see the other stuff. But we've had this discussion to many times.
