So my mate Simon goes offroading and.......

**chip** · 16-10-2007 23:19

as he hadnt done any offroading, he needed a bit of advice on what he was doing.

He could have got advice from Phil2400 off passionford who went with us, who is a talented and tactful offroader, gifted at picking his way through intricate obstacles with just the right amount of throttle, like so:

But he didnt take advice from Phil, he shared with me, and took advice from me instead, which ended up like this........

lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao

Nice air! Where are the pics of what it looked like after landing?

**adam c** · 16-10-2007 23:26

lmao lmao lmao absolutely quality!!

**RobJenko** · 16-10-2007 23:27

awesome! there was a few of these suzuki jeep things off roading by me on the weekend and they used insted of trailers, a jib type towing attachment that bolted onto the front (i assume the chassis just under the bull bars) and then just hitched it up to the towing jeep like they would hitch a trailer. looked very cool seeing them going up the road bout 2 ft off each others bumpers in convoy!

That an SJ? quite capable little machines if so.

**CraigGreen** · 17-10-2007 08:33

That looks like a heavy landing. Am I wrong or can I see a passenger in a check shirt headbutting the dash board in 2nd pic?

**chip** · 17-10-2007 08:35

No passenger there, this was at the offroad track at the nurburgring, so they are left hand drive

**astra_sri_andy** · 17-10-2007 08:39

Should have rigged up some explosions behind him as he got all 4 wheels off the ground... lmao

**chip** · 17-10-2007 11:07

I think that E30 picture is probably the best action shot Ive ever taken, really pleased with how it came out

**CraigGreen** · 17-10-2007 11:11

Aye, the car is in perfect focus, background shows the speed & motion really nicely.

Top snapping!

**LEE69** · 17-10-2007 11:14

Gorgeous car that E30.
