I've just built a twist off ramp!

Just add a few mates with Landies, a tape measure, and this is what we got:

The score is calculated from the distance the front wheel got up the ramp before another wheel lifted off the ground, this is then divided by the wheelbase.

Liz (Defender 90, Standard) scored 72% (67" up ramp, 93" wheelbase).

John (Series 1, Standard) scored 40% (35" up ramp, 88" wheelbase).

Mike (MB Unimog) scored 69% (78" up ramp, 112.5" wheelbase).

Mike (T) (Series 1, Parabolics) scored 40% (34" up ramp, 86" wheelbase).

Rob (RRC on +2" procomps) scored 76% (76" up ramp, 100" Wheelbase).

John (Defender 110 standard) scored 63% (69" up ramp, 110" wheelbase).

John (RR 3rd Gen standard) scored 54% (60" up ramp, 112" wheelbase).

Here's some piccies...

Tyres are 750x16 dumper tyres. Found at a farm auction. Awesome tyres, they'll dig massive holes in the ground if you let them!

I've got a mate who was selling a new set of these on Lr steel wheels for not much money, he's in Shoreham. If you're interested, let me know your e mail or phone number and I'll pass it on to him tomorrow.

I don't know who the maker is.

i will have a word with me local tyre people (the ones i was gonna get me security SAT knockoff from) and see if they can do em, they mostly do lorry tyres and some propper tractor tyres (for things like masseys etc)
