Steven:

--- Quote from: "Mudlark" ---Had some zukes on the trial with us today (as always) where the land rovers and other biggies were sinking into the mud axle deep+   They were just skipping across the top of it :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :lol:  :lol:
--- End quote ---


Didn't like to mention it but i actually towed a Disco out of a swampy area with my little zuki because he got stuck and then broke his rear diff. After i towed him out i drove through the same bit no sweat at all. :D
Now before all the L/R owners jump all over me, there were bits where i would have prefered to have been in something like a disco or at least a 4x4 with a long wheelbase because although i did  the bits the L/R guys did some of the drops can be real scarey in a short wheelbase Zuke when the back goes light and feels like it's coming over the top, on one particular drop a Disco did i feel sure the Zuke would have gone end over end  :shock: it definately needed the long wheelbase to allow the front axle to start going horizontal before the back axle was coming down vertical (if you get what i mean  :? ) i have to confess that i didn't do that bit  :oops:  but that could be just me not being brave enough  :roll: i should add that i suffer badly from vertigo, so it probably was just me  :oops:

fudge:
quite clearly the water had affected you more than your zuke...... you seem to have typed that you'd rather be in a Discovery.... surely a typo...

But seriously.....

The only trouble I've had so far is that you get thrown, and I do mean thrown into the bigger car's ruts... thats what ripped my snorkle off and damaged my rear quarter... damage that makes it look even more like a propper off roader!

When I went to Bircham in the summer I kept the RHS high in the water before my snorkle, all was fine till i hit the hole and dissapeared, we pulled the zuke out and too a slope so the RHS was down hill, let the water flow from the carb, and it did, sprayed a can of WD in it and kazooom back to life!

Do that in a Landrover!
