Errrrmmm

On a similar note are these Trucks Tail happy or is it me not having driven a rear wheel drive beast in years.

I drove onto a roundabout the other day and managed to get the Truck well and truly Sideways (and left a few marks in my undies) managed to correct it got it back over corrected and got it back to drive off the roundabout with Heart pounding and bottom twitching, i put it into 4wd after that all the way home, not wanting to upset anymore drivers.

Is this something i should expect from now on or was it that there was some Diesel on the island?

What trucks?

The one in the pictures; no idea.

Surfs? Yes, they are.

[Albannach]

And if yours is a 2nd gen, never drive it on the road in 4wd unless there's snow or ice on the road.

I hope you have a 3rd gen Surf, or at the very least four bald tyres!

[madmanc]

Sorry yes Surf's

Hahahaha looks like i am gona have to play in the snow when it arrives to see where the balance is, and when it wet and clogging on a little i think 4wd will be used...

You could be in for a whole heap of transmission problems then.
