Welcome to the 4x4 Section.

1991 Vauxhall Brava 2.5 diesel 4x4

I bought this off a lady that had used it for moving hay for her horses. The pickup bed was rotten but it didn't bother me at the time, I just wanted it for my business I had just started, any how there were wooden boards down for the bed so as long as it could carry what did it matter

A friend one day asked "how would it go off road with it being 4x4", I don't know, there's only one way to find out. So I went off and had some 31-10.50-15 MT tyres fitted and a week or so later off we went to find out. Surprisingly it did really well, considering that it has a wheel base of about 120in and about 8in of ground clearance.

Holy Moor Side, down the steep bit no probs.
At the bottom was a different matter, it took some shunting to get round the wall and between the tree without tipping into the gully.
Chapel Gate is a washed out road, the bit down the middle is all thats left of the tarmac. At this point I'm stuck.
I backed down and came back a different track, although it did put me on my side a little more than I anticipated.
Stanage Edge, Total off Road magazine said "this is the hardest road they had driven in Derbyshire and you need a spotter", naaaaa!!
This lane has an odd sounding name, but every body always calls it The Steps for obvious reasons.
