Aussie top gear comparo

[Matt76]

Did anyone watch aussie top gear tonight? They had a quite interesting test between a 40 series cruiser and a new patrol. It was pretty good but one thing had me amazed, I know these blokes are very good drivers but are seriously not too well trained in offroad. The guy in the 40 wouldnt take his truck down a really steep hill because "his brakes didnt work well" and the other guy in the patrol used his brakes when he went over the edge and of course locked up the wheels, it was only the wheel ruts that kept him straight, I'm really curious to know whether he was in low range 1st or in nuetral. Mind you it was an 80 degree slope, would have been a good ride!

Your thoughts?

Mate didn't see it tonight but I have seen it a fair bit and those guys are crazy, didn't think they backed away from anything...

No it was a pretty bloody steep little hill! It would have been good to see the 40 go down it, I reckon it would have done it easy.

Yeah i watched it, And what a load of crap! The FJ40 would have easy gone down that hill and maybe back up it.
And so what if the cruizer lets in abit of water! it still started and drove straight back out.
And Michael schumacher the stig! Narr the stig is a heap better driver!

I'm with you Matt76 about their offroad driving ability's. He obviously had his foot on the clutch for the wheels to lock down that slope.

They drive 4wd's like they are on a track in a Porsche.
