Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 went to North Yorks Off Road centre in a Ford Maverick, no off road tires, no lift kits, no off-road preps whatsoever. seen this hill and decided to come DOWN it so i set off in 1st Low and let the engine do the work, few bumps & bangs & scrapes. i got about half way down before i noticed how bad it was at the bottom, by then there was no way i could reverse up. so here is where i bottomed out DISCO to the rescue here is a better view of where i got stuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Urban Fox Control London 8 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Don't worry. You got out. I took my Nissan Pathfinder out in the snow just before Christmas. £8000 insurance claim later having slid sideways into a ditch, I got my pride and joy back. I am not looking forward to getting this years insurance premium quote in the post Quote Link to post Share on other sites
