That's equivalent of "No ABC" in off-roader terms for Jeeps (and a Gypsy with rock crawling gears too). You just let go of all pedal inputs and use the steering to navigate. Is quite a fun thing but instinctively unnatural to our day-to-day driving |

This was the base model Cayenne, and I didn't find such a setting in the car, though the Cayenne Turbo seems to have it, so said the owner's manual. But that didn't make a difference, because when slotted into M1 (manual 1st gear) with "reduction" (low range) on, the gearbox behaved like a manual shift, and stayed locked in gear through the descent, allowing me to do "no ABC". |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I was surprised to see Roshun without his scorpio and for a moment wondered if he has swapped it for the endy. Nice pictures and what a setting for some educational fun. We should make our classrooms and schools on this model too. |

| ![]() All those SUV's look so damn Hot in the surroundings. But i feel this is a very mild and an ordinary track, which can be managed by a Sedan also, forgive me, maybe the pics are deceiving me. ![]() |

I'm afraid that though technically this thread is in the 4x4 excursions section, I'd have liked to put it into a "trying out nice cars" section, which doesn't exist on Team-BHP. Last edited by SS-Traveller : 27th November 2010 at 02:22. | |

| ![]() The same area was used for Trail Blazing #2 earlier in the year and the two 4x2's with us ended up needing tow even on the "flat" ground below the hill. There is another "Bund" wall where even Gypsy's failed to climb unless driven very capably. And as SST says the whole purpose is too have a little off road fun and not indulge in all out war driving!! Last edited by sudev : 27th November 2010 at 07:28. |

@wanderernomad Nah! I wouldn't swap my trusty ol' Scorp for this 4x2 Endy. I was missing the Scorp on this outing, but then as I said it was a business cum pleasure trip. The Endy had to be reviewed. You must check out that area sometime, many more trails left to check out. @Sudev OT: When's the next trailblazing? And thanks for scoping this area out last year. It's a really nice place.

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() @Roshun: Still waiting for those videos. Specifically the one of the Cayenne climbing down. |
