Why won't they insure you for a 4X4? Blinking crazy.

Have you told them you have had a haircut... That may help.

It's slightly modded, made a roof console and fitted a roof rack

Ohh taken the car for a spin and the breaks failed when coming down a hill approaching a narrow bridge, had to slow down with the handbrake and gears:doh just burst break pipe though, so I'll just replace the brake lines :thumb2

Well done, I hope you didn't panic, sounds like you had a scary experience and learned there are other ways to slow down a vehicle, other than your foot brake :clap

go for it, be suprised what you can do with 2wd, only got to look at the trialing club
scene, where buggies, beetles all sorts climb some impressive tracks, no proper 4x4s
in sight.

when i first got into landy/4x4 scene was sometime til could get one and having
read od laning attempted several derbyshire routes in my escorts of the day, rwd's,
including houndkirk road which took an age as had to get out often and read the
route. in later years explored some tracks in a front wheel drive maestro, indeed lived
on a farm so had many opportunities, the farmer didnt even have a 4x4, just an old
2wd mazda pickup, with plenty of weight in back always had plenty of traction.

Is the Roller Skate not a dual system braking system? don't car's usually have dual systems that go to opposing wheels?

No, I think the atoz is just front brakes, could be wrong tho

Yes, I think it will be a good car for trails as thetes a lot of suspension flex for a small car,

discovering the past

well, been working on my atos all day again, waiting for mum to finish work then going into the town for more hammerite, i'm future proofing it, very surprised as their was no rot at all on the front end....maybe i'm just used to the T2:lol:lol

also turns out it's been in a front end shunt as the bumper support was bent and there's panels with yellow scribbles on which indicates S/H or pattern parts, even the sub-frame has righting on it, also their is over spray, but has been done to a decent standard, ohh and i also found out the rad leaks and its missing about 45% of its fins

here's some pics
