Son took me out for the day to here: http://www.toddsleap.com/activities/off-road-driving/

45 minutes training from an instructor then I took my own car around for a couple of hours.

The video's don't show how steep the hills were!

Did a full adventure day up there a couple of years ago but drew a big no chance on the zip line, the off road thing was class.

The off-roading is great, the lesson beforehand was very beneficial. Feel like I could go anywhere in the Jimny now!

Some hairy moments :)

The Jimny should be a good off roader due to its SWB and short rear overhang, although I have painful memories of one I rented in Greece a few years back, it was an open top and I got the legs scalded off me in the sun while driving it. :hots: :sick:

:lol:

It's great off road, not something you would want to commute in, but ideal for what I want it for.
