another duff test from 5th gear
ChrisW:
Yes it got people talking BUT who actually stated in the programme that it was a gimmicky silly bit, don't do it at home - ISTR saying something similar when they thrashed the LR3 all over the place - whats to stop normal (well, affluent anyway) people watching it, going out and buying one (or any "off road vehicle / 4x4 / SUV etc. etc.") and then thrashing it all over the place because "that's how they do it on TV" :?:
More fuel for the fire :evil:
Thrasher:
Anyone got a wet and muddy field?? <grin>

I don't need to be told what to do and what not to do by a TV programme thanks..... I happen to have a big 4x4 and a wet muddy field... and horses... but I have no intention of trying it because I have a sufficient intelligence not to, and I take responsibility for my own actions :shock:
Thrasher:
/me hatches a plan :-)
Can I prove to Tiff that launching a powerful V8 off on wet grass can be done....if you do it PROPERLY :-)
V8MoneyPit:
Of course, Tim is right (yet again :roll: :lol: ). It is meant to be entertainment first, educational second. If you want to buy a Vectra, you go out and test one. You certainly don't wait for Tiff to test drive one on TV. I have never seen these programs as consumer fodder, just light entertainment.
The comparison of 'soft-roaders' (hate that term!) was much the same. Loads of throttle up a slightly muddy slope and stopped half way up. No surprises there then.
The blasting around a field doesn't give me too much problem. More concerned over the Disco 3 article a while back that specifically said to find a green lane and get muddy.
