Yes that would have been interesting :doh I would have the wheels though :augie

Trust me mate I would have been out of the way in a flash.

 

[exosteve]

from my earlier video of my point of view.
my car was on 2 wheels only being propped up by that verge.
it wouldn't compute to drive into it for even more damage.

no If I get into this situation again. I will sit back and think about it first.
it would be easy to think. more power more aggression as that was what was needed last time.
every situation needs thinking about first differently.
but when your pumped up with adrenaline you just act

Not 2 months ago my mate drove straight up in a standard disco with no issues or damage.just shows you how quick the ground can change.

Too true :thumb2

Maybe he left a trail of oil on the lane :naughty

Looks like a fun day, watching the videos it seems Nissan may have got the name of terrano slightly wrong they should have called it the tumbler.

Now that is why I do not want to green lane:doh
I bought the mav for snow

maybe on a pay and play motor but I don't think steve would have wanted a bent door to add to the damage:lol

Damage... I get upset if I pick up a stone chip...
Let alone a ding or a scratch heaven forbid...:doh

Looking at that video, it looked as though it didn't have to tilt that much before she could have rolled.

I thought these trucks could go to 40 degrees :nenau
That on the video looks less than 30:augie

A pair of wide sand ladders in the rut could have saved some of that damage, or 20 tonne of hardcore... No Alex.. not "that" sort...:augie

Alex, your front wing damage could be partly disguised with a "Navara" snorkel. :augie

Well Alex, now the bumpers are suitable for the car, they blend in well now...
The car has that non cared for look all over. :augie :lol:lol
A bit of hammerite brushed onto the front wing, some gaffa tape around the mirror...
Yep it's got character now.:augie :lol

The good news,
doing any more damage to it is unlikely to devalue it anymore.:thumb2

:lol Funnily enough, while watching the vid was thinking something like that that might have done the trick - although I agree with elty that a bent door might not have gone down so well!

The Trol's got extra grab handles in each doorway, wonder if that was Nissan thinking ahead... :augie

Although as it's around 200mm wider than a Terrano (and a half ton heavier), I reckon fitting through the narrow bits might have been more of an issue!

At least the winch bumper would help widen things out a bit and I'm not opposed to getting a few more go faster stripes :naughty

I'm afraid damage does come with the hobby.although you try to keep it to a minimum sometimes things don't go the way you hoped.
only day in ages I didn't bring the waffle boards.never needed them.
