2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Rimini Red

Jim

Did you end up joining the RRC of NSW?

I finally got to do the intro sand driving course at stockton
it was pretty good on 4 participants and the instructor.
THere was some challenging stuff i didnt do, more cause of the chance of damage...
i did sustain some minor damage to the those plastic air dams infront of the wheels.
Anyone know whether their critical to the cars operation, as I have removed them for now.

They also recommend removing the rear mud flaps...

I found the sand mode to be very throttle responsive when driving...
but when i got stuck , the sand mode was too much throttle when trying to rock back and forth to get
unstuck when bogged in sand....i found changing to grass mode was a better mode with less
aggresive throttle allowing gentle action to compact the sand and get out...

Even the driving on the flats was fun as you fish tail all over the place follwoing the ruts in front of you...

sorry no pics as the camera battery was flat...any way our pommy brethren would
only have been upset at 'not a cloud in sight' blue skys
nex time.... RRS TdV6 Rimini Red, Alapaca, Sat Nav, Prem Ice, Hybrid TV, Cooler, FPS, Tow pack, roof mounted lighthouse
