What qualifies as "off road"?

For example, my car is presently parked in the field next door with a Sankey full of fence posts, chain saw, strimmer and assorted electric fence components. Definitely wouldn't do it in a normal car, but is it "off road"?
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

So posting a picture of mine sitting in an underground carpark isn't in the spirit of off road...?
 The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Had mine off road on Saturday, whilst out doing results print out on the Motorclub's Rally in Wales.

I was on Epynt, not far from Tirabad and the "German Village"
