On sky channel 133 at the mo. they are gonna be seeing what it takes to roll a 4x4.
Pay attention Andyenuf! lol

[Chillitt]

over she goes at 45... is that why landies do 40 mph everywhere?

[BUSHWHACKER]

So, there we are then.
If the vehicle in front on the motorway suddenly brakes hard, don't try to drive around it, you will roll over. It's best to just plough into the back of it!


Well, thats what I got from their 'test' anyway!

[Chillitt]

i wouldnt have noticed it braking anyway..

He He, yeah especially if was one of them lowered 'chav mobiles' just drive straight over. It would probably feel like one of them mini roundabouts.
Does anyone actually drive around them?

You are doing the nation a favour, and it's more fun, to drive over them

I take it this was a repeat on the blue r&r that went splat.
If so, who the ell swerves all over the road when in that situation?
I did something like that last week in my surf, have to say, if I wanted it to roll over I would have hade my work cut out!

It did have a slight "rigged for a roll" look to it.
And as you say, go over unless it is a surf in better condition that the one you are in, then just be considerate and trash your own!!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yeah I thought that. When the Range Rover swerved, It looked as the the driver made no attempt to correct the roll as I'm sure 99.9% of drivers would have done.

I think he spotted something on the road and decided to have a closer look!

[Gamedawn]

Range Rovers of that era felt like they were falling over just driving in a straight line

falling apart, surely...

For those that still have adjustable shocks fitted, I have found that switching to hard on motorways reduces quite significantly the tendency for the front wheel to 'dig in' if you react to an errant car in front (and its really hard not to despite good intentions). Mange Rovers can't do that.
