Tip of the day...

[Lucky_Astra06]

was in the country @ a mates farm and thought it would be fun to take the astra through a gravel road n see how it handles, result as follows:

great drive!! ah handles nicely BUT if you have nice big rims like my ah sri t rims DONT drive on these roads as it rips up ya rims BIG TIME!!
stupid thing to do but im sure there are others out there that dont think before doing stupid shiit like me

if anyone wants to ad more tips pls do...

[Wraith]

You know as soon as I started reading that above, I immediately started thinking, how stupid is that.........:o

Oh well at least you've admitted so :)

I could only do that to a paddick hack or similar, couldn'y subject my cars to that sort of treatment.

I didn't mention how I drive up these roads though Matchu-licious :p

and when I dont drive, I know how certain people do drive it. You only need speeds of 30-50km for the rocks to start really flying around.

I have spun the car on dirt before, only twice.
