Land Rover Shows Off Climbing Ability

By John Coyle

Even though I don’t think I’ll ever own an SUV, I have to say I love Land Rovers. And if I ever wound up with one of those British beefcakes in my garage, I’d make sure that it got plenty of time to play in the mud. Now, I know there’s no mud in this clip, but I still found the way this baby was able to navigate such a steep incline pretty impressive, and can’t stop thinking about what it must have looked like inside the vehicle during the accent. I guess the driver would have to screw up pretty bad to tumble off the scaffolding, but still, it seems pretty hairy.

Id has crappy my pants right when the wheels started to spin.. wheel hop would SUCK doing that.. that and if the fronts locked up on the way down. Atleast the ground was close and they didnt do this like on a tree next to a cliff..

“I am French! Why do you think I have this outrageous accent?”

waiting for the video showing its tipping-over ability.
