Just going through some old photos and decided to scan in some of my old truck. The last photo is of a freinds Hybrid.

How did you manage that on an easy trail?

p76rangie · 01-13-2007, 11:11 PM

A freind was driving as the time. (in US terms) he put the passenger's side wheels in the driver's side ruts. Forced the drivers side of the car up the bank. There was a mud hole on the passenger side. Got at a bit of an angle and then the passenger's side starting to sink in the mud and it fell over.

Is he still your friend?

p76rangie · 01-14-2007, 05:34 AM

There was not that much damage, and yes his is still a good friend.

That's good to hear. Nice Series BTW. Do you miss it?

p76rangie · 01-14-2007, 03:47 PM

I am not a collector and only used the vehicle off-road. The only time I miss it is when I am on a track that I find quite boring in the Rangie and know that it would be a challenge and fun in the Series 2a.

But I do not miss being chucked around by the leaf springs, being cooked inside on a hot day, taking a sauna each time you go through water, trying to stop it after you get the brakes wet, no synchro on first, hitting my knees on the dash, etc, etc.
