is there anything the japs don't build
Unless you are seriously going off road often and for some kind of reason, i still don't think anyone needs a 4x4.
And here's why. I used to be a rural postman delivering across a massive area that has some of the roughestand hilly terrain going. A lot of that driving was on really rough tracks through mostly moorland and forested land. Crossing fords was common as was driving in snow, ice, heavy rain and mud.
Only once was i stuck in mud when it had been raining for almost 3 weeks solid and i was stupid enough to go into a cow field. Only once have I "beached" my vehicle due to terrain. (beached is where you go into a hollow and the front end and back end wedge and your wheels are stuck in the air). There is only one delivery in this area where the vehicle needs a sump guard due to the rocks in the lane.
Most of this driving was done at over 30 mph in a 2 wheel drive. Hitting potholes so you flew over them. Fantastic fun driving, but all done in a Ford Escort or lately the Vauxhaul Combi.
Right now your getting me mad Just love off roaders yes we did have a designated green road ,well its used to be green last winter it changed due to drivers "keeping to good going" into a 30 yard wide sea of s**t Then imagine am dogs going mad a knock on the door "can you help we are stuck" a convoy of six assorted offroaders plus the one in the s**t ,said vehicle is 5 fields away from the green lane Resisting the urge to tell them to F OFF you get dressed show the others how to navigate sheds barn gates etc to get onto the road then set off with one as navigator to find the one thats stuck in the middle of 60 acres of bog and rushes With 5 or 6 assorted chains a 180 hp tractor in 20 mins you have him back on dry land and with instructions of "for f sake follow me" set off back to the yard where upon they drive straight off on thank kiss my ass nothing Then 3 weeks later we get a letter{we are in a national park} to say WE ore makeing a mess of the green lane and have done damage to a designated wet land area Yes im waiting fo another knock on the door
Here's the real reason not to get a 4x4...
