[Leica] Car Girl - Nathan

Wed Jun 27 04:59:03 PDT 2018

Kiwi off-roading is nothing like what it is in the UK ;-)  On more extreme trips I was the heaviest but least powered vehicle.....  The motorsport (trials) buggies are about 800kg with 700HP, so I was three times the weight with less than half the power!

All that power was used at times, hill climbs with two axle difflocks could often be at +5000revs!  Sort of slope that it was hard to walk up ;-)

That looks a fairly capable yoke with an enormous amount of grunt, John. 
What on earth did you need it for - some form of kiwi motorsport?
