On a dirt road it would have to kill most other cars wouldnt it? having a bit extra ground clearence an a fair wack of power?

A few people I know have had them on the beach and if you are careful on the soft stuff its ok. 1

Posted 04/04/07 06:54 PM Posted 04/04/07 06:54 PM I have had my awd terri on the beach and it went every where we asked it soft stuff and hard stuff.The biggest thing to remember with sand is that you need to let the tyres down to about 18 psi.You should do this in all 4wd's on the beach.I have also done a lot of driving though rough tracks and tracks that are 4wd tracks only and it goes great.Yes ground clearance is low but it is surprising what they will go over and not hit.The thing to rember on sand is to turn the dcs off.Ian

But on the bagging the tyres bit, surprising how many people overlook such a simple concept. Always good entertainment watching it though.

They are totally flickable in corners at speeds that will scare the bejeezus out of your passengers. It takes a while to work out what its gunna do exactly but once you master it you will go looking for high speed dirt roads at every chance you get.
