drove 12 feet on to the beech....!

Those P38's arnt built to go off road!

Or that close to the water! lol

what a load of crap, p38 go anywhere you want, only prob he had was no front prop or it would have ****ed it..

Now P38,
If we had arranged the meeting of us Southern owner's, we could have held it at that fine location you were in & you wouldn't have suffered the indignation of being pulled out by an L200 :hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

Jeez, you were lucky the tide wasn't coming in!! At least you got out. i should have warned you that these things are helpless enough in 2wheel drive, especially in reverse.

Was that Coumeenoole?

As the proud owner and a regular abuser of both I can tell you that there are not many places (I would say any but I haven't been everywhere) that the RRC will go that the P38 won't.

I'd go so far as to say that on the same tyres a stock P38 (ahem, with everything working) is better off road than a stock steel sprung RRC (I'd probably cede to an air sprung, TC equiped stock 95 RRC). And if they both have hitches the P38 will eat it!!

The only measurable advantage the pre-air RRC has is weight and it's narrower. The EAS (when working!) takes away the clearance angles advantage the shorter wheel base of the RRC affords.

Well, driving in sand:
1. Maintain momentum
2. Maintain momentum at all cost
3. Maintain momentum even if it means full throttle on your big V8 AND low range on the gearbox
4. Don't run over children even if you need to maintain momentum
5. Lower your tyre pressure a lot
6. Its like the stock market: your first loss is your smallest. Once you are stopped for the first time, don't try anymore. Get out of the car, take tyre pressure down (a lot), back in the car select low range, you will be rolling again in no time.
7. Now, maintain momentum!
8. Once back on the road, refill tires to recommended pressures.
9. Destroy these photos.

Now there's a man with sand experience, coming from Israel.

Would be a bit of a waste of time seeing as how they stop running when water gets to sill level.
