Go the mighty Vitara, apparently the turn around at the top to come down is exciting :cool:

I know my limits, and that is over them. my legs went to jelly just thinking about driving up it..dont think the climb is hard, but the fear factor of making a woops would be way too high fer me.. :puppydogeyes:

I remember seeing a clip on TV probably about 7 or 8 years ago of someone who had driven to the top, turned around (i think you have to do a 4 point turn or something) and half way down it jumped out of gear and they lost control. They managed to get it most of the way down but lost it maybe 50 metres from the bottom and went off the side. I don't think they were killed - surprisingly.

yeah i remember that, it was on one of those "how they survived" shows. it was a cheroke and they lost control half way down and end up coming of the side of the cliff, but they did survive....

i'd straight to the nearest lotto shop!!

Woman had done the run with her husband and then he let her do it and she lost the brakes on the way down...... would've been a hell of a ride :roll:

I can send it to someone on Monday if they can link it ;)

Wonder what it's like on a "wet day" on road tyres, naturally... that is if they get that at all (a wet day that is!)...

Great for a "training day"... practicing stall-start techniques... reversing techniques... speaking of which... I think I need some training but nothing that looks quite like that! :D

but hmm... i have a kind brother who has a liking for southern comfort and a habit of **losing** his keys... :twisted: :twisted: :idea: :idea:

Thanks for the link... I hadn't seen it but man, that'd be scary!

The expression used in the video: "initiation", doesn't sound very appropriate in the context though!

Hmmmm, just realised, the video brings new meaning to the "signature" I've been using for a while... "I can do that, I've seen it done on TV"... ouch...

It has been deleted off the public drive :x

It looked like the Ripleys one but better quality. Without all the Ripleys crap ;)
