This may be a re-post,

It's quite an eye-opener.

It looks quite impressive, although some of it appears a little unlikely for a rwd car without assistance from a winch / tow. I may be wrong though.

Amazing! Thanks for posting. Bet it had a locked diff. And mega chunky treads. Now why is it we need 4x4s?

I assume that the oilfield model had been tweaked for the purpose (and the video).

The part where it was driving along the ditch at the side of the road looked a bit unlikely though. I was surprised that the front end managed to stay pointing the right direction.

It always amazes me what a vintage car with decent tyres and a good driver can do.

Go and watch some VSCC trials. (Or search on Youtube.)

Did the passenger really stick his arm out to help keep it upright in that ditch?
