3 day trip in north Italiy ---> Video

Post by **haasa** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 9:09 pm

Hi,

just to let you know that I made my first "longer" trip last weekend.
It was about 950km in 3 days and I had no problems with my feroza ;-)

We were 3 cars - all with family. a range rover, a jeep cherokee and my feroza.

i wrote a short story at www.uahhh.org - but of course this is in german.

so now the very short story:
day1: 30km alogng the river "tagliamento". on probs exept the cherokee was to deep in the water (seats unter water ;-)

day2: tagliamento. no probs exept the cherokee broke the break-lines (no breaks for the next 2 days)

day3 up the mountains to a very nice see. no probs exept the water pump broke on the cherokee ...
this means: no breaks, no engine (=no heating) and wet seats on top of the mountains. about +5°C...

if you like to see the video (17MB, Windowsmedia8, ~350kbps) you have to download it here (on the bottom of the page) :

Looks like it was a fantastic trip.

Where exactly is the Tagliamento river? Lombardy region, or somewhere east or west of there?

Oh and by the way, tell them that if they must own a Jeep, get a Wrangler instead of a Cherokee... more likely to float :lol:

Awesome video Haasa! Worth the download time for anyone on dial up.

The poor old Cherokee getting towed/ pulled out everywhere :lol:

What was happening at the end when it looked like there were three 4WD's tied together following each other on the twisty road?? Was it icy or something?

We crossed a pass (300m up to 1100m) with a lot of serpentines... No breaks, no engine, no heating in/on the Cherokee. But of course we also had to go down this mountain...
Because this Jeep had NOTHING at all we used 2 Cars for towing. I bented the first rope with my Feroza while I was accelerating and we used the RangeRover for breaking. Was very,very funny :lol:

Yesterdey he called me to tell me that he bought a GrandCherokee (97) :cool:
