If you have ever driven a loaded Isuzu Cat 1 tanker with 3500lts of water, hoses, etc etc you will know what a true piece of shit they are offroad... They arent really designed for it. Driving down around the Needles down Engadine, or out back of Menai in them down to the beach was absolute shit.
Interesting the Merc 911s have a REALLY good lean angle to the side.. I shit flames when we were doing driver training in them, the instructor took us down a track that just kept going off camber...
he laughed as we all shit.
We were assisting polair one night in a rolled 4wd out Boat Harbour beach, medium tide, 1/2 way round to Cronulla, the only way we got thru in our 81 unit, was to MT the water, and unload 90% of the shit off the truck... nice at midnight with a southerly comin across from the ice fields south of Tassie via bundeena...

No it's on a quarry site near the rowing centre, after we extract the sand and aggregates, the really fine stuff is pumped back into large dams where it is dried out, It looks dry on top but is really fine, and usually still wet underneath I've got photo's of dump trucks stuck in this stuff also. It's pretty soft just walking on it if that gives you any idea.

Correct. Me and 9,999 other people in Sydney who went 4bn on the weekend there. Its sh*thouse in there anyway, unless your into bulk mud.
There are better and more legal spots within 2 mins drive from that quarry anyway.

Drop zone is right in my back yard. Bulk mud and very deep holes.
