My baby in action!

Last December I participated to a local Dipped in Green weekend, organized by "Off roading extraordinaire" Adam Spiker (Offroving.com.) What an exhilarating blast that excursion was! The area is Wildomar OHV, near Lake Elsinore. Thought I'd share some pictures:

Thanks again Adam, you run a classy outfit and I wish you all the success you deserve. If you are in Southern California I highly recommend the experience.

Like the fully tricked up one in the 2nd album - is it a Giverny Green? It's difficult to tell, but I think Bonatti Grey was darker. The Exped Roof Rack winch look good with Giverny Green! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The USA is weird place weatherwise at the moment.................. Midwest has disappeared under the biggest dumps of snow ever recorded and New Yorkers have been sunbathing on the beaches as it was 22C there at the weekend and the vendors sold out of ice-cream! Normally it's just hovering above freezing and damp and horrid there at this time of the year............... better not tell the folks over on the greenpeace forums, they'll blame it on 4x4 drivers.

You should see the weather in January... We are in the middle of a heat wave, no rain in sight, 85 degrees F and warm Santa Ana winds! Some mansions in Malibu went up in smoke last night because of it. Laughing

Tim, Adam's Sport is indeed Giverny Green. He was running stock Conti tires on his rig the entire day to prove a point (that the stockers are quite capable off road), although he is wearing 18s as you can see. His Sport has been in far more challenging places than this one of course (he was the guy doing incredible things in Moab, Utah, earlier last year) and if you are going to learn about offroading, this is the guy you want to learn from.

...and not just the USA either, a colleague of mine came back from Xmas in Abu Dhabi yesterday and apparently had similar weather to here - cold and rainy.... by all accounts, should have been sunny and a good 15C warmer.

Not just the Emirates....friends just got back from their holiday in Aqaba, had to postpone their visit to Petra...the roads were blocked for three days with snow Shocked

I''m okay...our CEO just asked me to visit one of our properties in South Africa...no snow there. I'm heading off at the end of Feb with my mountain bike (the RRS won't fit in the overhead bin Sad ) - got a weekend of riding through the vineyards planned Very Happy 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

No MTRs here... Those are 18s (Pathifinder ATs by a local tyre chain called America's Tire, they are cheap rubbers but they do a good job O/R and are very quiet on pavement.) In the picture below the wheels were so wedged and squeezed into that rut, that as I stopped it looked as if the left front tire was completely flat. I had to get out of the car to check it out for myself! I wonder what would have happened to a 20" stock rim, let alone my Cargraphics. Very Happy
