| Senior - BHPian | Hill Billy Gypsy I had gone to the base of St. Thomas Mount today morning, and did some quick off-roading.  The red and blue lines show the paths I took. Since I had gone by myself, could not take any "in-action" pics . Just took this one pic after parking the Gypsy on the slope. The road leading to the top of St. Thomas Mount is seen behind/above the Gypsy.After uploading the pics in the computer, i realised that the angle of the picture made the slope look very ordinary. I should have taken another pic giving the side view, which would have given a better idea of the gradient involved. The first attempt I made at slow speed, and I had to shift to 4L to make it. The second attempt, with better momentum, and in 4H. |

| All around tyre For you Gypsy owners only, what is a good all around tyre for a Gypsy e.g. good off and on road? And, what is a good tyre size for Gypsy e.g. if oversize what size tyre will not make steering difficult once the tyres have some wear on them? |

| Senior - BHPian | Changing shoreline Sometime last month, I had been to the same spot of beach where i had done the off-roading in January. I was surprised by the change in the shoreline in just 2 months. I took some pics again to compare. One spot where my cousin stood to take the pics is completely under water now .This is the pic taken in january  The below pic is taken in march : the red spot is where my cousin would have stood to take the first pic.  The blue line in below pic shows the waterline in January at the mouth of the backwaters.  Last edited by Blue Thunder : 8th April 2008 at 10:28. |
