THAT means you were evaluating courses for the rally in december?!!

Hey Papps, Off-roading is in my blood as much as regular racing is. I do a load of off-roading around Maharashtra myself. Let me know if I can join you chaps in my Jeep the next time around.

GTO

P.S. A-W-E-S-O-M-E Photos. That terrain would not even require 4x4 mode in my Jeep. 2WD would be enough

Scorpio? How did she perform off the road - with all that bulk? Was it 2wd or the rare 4wd?

GTO

Rtech · 3rd August 2004, 20:12

its a specially ordeed 4WD scorpio.

shravan316 · 3rd August 2004, 20:42

Wow....nice pics papps.....looks like you had some real fun and experience.
How does the Scorpio do off-road considering the handling is bad on roads

Aditya · 4th August 2004, 00:13

Looks like I'm gonna have to persuade my bro to get himself a Gypsy / SWB Jeep.

Hatari · 4th August 2004, 03:33

love taking a 4wd off road when i get the chance..
we had a gypsy.. and my dad had put a wench up front..
that helped take us out of some mean slush !

been thru worse actually.. near my farmhouse..
lots of country dirt road.. and when it rains in west bengal.. OHHH BOY !

papps · 4th August 2004, 13:12

well GTO you can drive a bit of that terrain in 2WD but trust me you do need 4WD, there are lots of places you would get stuck oherwise, on some steep climbs too, the only other things using this terrain are tractors right now, these roads are very different after the monsoon or before

the scorpio is a 4WD, i wouldnt recommend it for off-roading, its too bulky and heavy, there were a few scary incidents, but we managed, its ok for dry weather off-roading not in the monsoon time

well GTO no probs you can come with your jeep, i maybe going again on this weekend

papps · 4th August 2004, 13:28

here are some of the pics of the Scorpio 4WD, the car was only a week old then

here are some pics from in the car on the road

and these are in the car wash, just after about at the start of the day after a little off-roading, we still had the rest of the day after this

Katana · 21st September 2004, 22:34

papps · 6th October 2004, 16:58
