Title: Porsche Cayenne fail or Stupid driver fail??
Post by: Sharky on April 03, 2011, 06:54:01 AM: This came up on the Top Gear web site as an epic fail. Gotta agree!

Q. How much damage can come from simply being bogged?

A. If you're a 4wd'er - then not much. If you're a goose with lots of money and zero common sense then lots!

One of mates used to own a Niva in the mid 90's. It was a piece of crap in terms of quality but it did go where ever he pointed it. Quite a capable off road vehicle (as long as the engine was running at least!).

I am surprised by the airbags tho, I was t-boned at speed in my 911 turbo last week. I had my seven year old in the front seat next to me (fortunately it hit my side) my front and side air bags and his only his front one went off, so it wouldn't have thought it was that sensitive.

Ahh the Lada Niva...

They say to double the value of a lada... fill it with petrol...

ANd the only reason they have heated rear windows is so that your hands do not freeze as you push start the thing all the time!

Post by: Disco EMU on April 03, 2011, 07:12:27 PM: Not a lot of common sense there!
1st time off road maybe and with no experience or know how ... sounds like a recipe for "epic fail" to me.

And they did not give dual exhausts just incase they would be mistaken for wheel barrows :D

seriously though I have seen them go some pretty remarkable places
