Is it possible to raise the body of the car to comfortably fit tyres of that
size (or larger)?

Hm... Isn't that the same as saying that the charecteristics of the engine
aren't really suited to off-roading? (Low end torque more important than high
end power) ? Note that my car is just as bad in this respect and I really
really hate this; you have just no control anymore if you have to rev it and
lots of unwanted wheelspin can occur.

Wow.. X rated pics of a Kangoo Trekka.......... sounds lovely perverse.. ;-)
Very nice site by the way!!!!!! I was hoping for more embarrassing moments
in the video section though... (And that see-saw thingy.. more an exercise for
hamsters and dogs than for a 4WD is it? Kind of makes you wonder if there
was a tred mill, too? ;-)
