Apparently Driver skill yet again trumps equipment?

Yet more proof that the skill level of the driver is the larger part of the equation.
A skillful driver can accomplish many things with a seemingly "limited" vehicle.
You just need to know the vehicles true limitations, and how to exploit the positive
aspects of said vehicle.

Had a friend in California that used to "off road" an old Datsun 510.
Most of the time when he did get stuck, the first comment went something like;
"How in the &$##& did you even get this far!?!?!" :ROTFL: :goink: :ROTFL:

I have pictures of it somewhere.........

I used to wheel my Grand Marquis. Beat the snot out of that thing in the AZ desert a couple times a week for about 3 1/2 years. Was surprisingly capable for a luxury car with about a 120 inch wheelbase and about 2 foot of front and rear overhang. Got hung up or high centered more than once. :dizzy: :mrgreen:

Man I regret selling that car.

He can make it about 3/4 of a mile... really not that big of a deal.

Call me when he actually completes the entire trail; especially the last 1/3rd. :juggle:
