How Slow Can You Go ?

[Michael H.]

One game I like to play is seeing how slowly I can complete a steep obstacle. Sort of the opposite of “Just Send It”. Here’s a little example …

I got up on the 3rd attempt, and in the end it only required a small amount of momentum to crest the top, far less than you might have thought.

I’d love to hear about anyone else who likes taking things slowly.

A contrast with 4wd24/7 who seem to think that bouncing off the rev limiter is the way to go.

I do a bit of parade road marshalling, so going slowly is quite useful. Low Box 2nd gear is a good starting point.

It’s a pity that lots of young blokes see them as role models, but I suppose their driving style makes for more interesting video.

Driving like the guys do on 4WD24/7 is ok if you can afford to keep fixing the vehicle. Personally I like to keep my vehicle in one piece. Slow and steady is the way to go. Occasionally you have to give it some welly but only when needs must, not as a general rule for me.

Wasn't the old Land Rover adage - "go as slow as possible and as fast as necessary" - That's how I roll.

Exactly. That’s where my inspiration came from.

That old adage is just one more datapoint showing how the new JLR has lost its way. Yeah, let's market a supercharged V8 pushing out over 550 ponies, sitting low on 20" rims and show it barreling down a dirt road.

The add in the UK for the current Range Rover Sport shows it banging up some country house steps at speed where they must have been lucky not to burst a tyre on the large rims

My ex took her RRS SVR in a similar blue and I just laugh. They do sound good though.

If I'm not catching air off the top I'm going too slow.
