Blown away !

Blown away by what this car can do ! Had my Land Rover experience this morning at Rockingham. Really really enjoyed it. If you can do all that on standard road tyres I can't imagine why all you guys change them for off-road ones !!

Truly amazed at what my car is capable of and what a total novice like myself could achieve in it. Also big thanks to the Rockingham guys for a great morning.

Do you use your own vehicle or theirs?

I think most of the LRE days you use theirs, well I did when I did the one at Luton Hoo.

There are places where you can take your own car under their instruction, I'll try and find a link to where

The op sounds like I did having just finished my LRE at Luton hoo on a cold foggy January Sunday after a very wet Saturday! Being new to LR and off roading it was a real eye opener. Even SWMBO and her dad made it look easy. Especially considering it was on standard fit tyres.
I got back in my car for the drive home and it was like I'd just discovered the secret double life of it. I kept thinking "wow, can you really do all that?"
I at least appreciated what all the electronics were doing for us, but I think it would be more interesting to do the same in a lesser car just so my wife can really appreciate how hard the car is working Very Happy

To be fair, most cars will go most places if the ground is hard underneath, it really only becomes aqquestion of traction and ground clearance.

Where more aggressive tires help is when the going is soft underfoot, the aggressive pattern cleans itself allowing the tires to bite more ground with each rotation.

Unfortunately the best tires in the world won't help when the vehicle exerts more pressure than the ground can carry.


I'm glad I don't have any pictures of my last bogging lol!
