Luxembourg National - a few more photos

Following on from some pics in these two threads:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic1546-1665.html

Here's a few more...
We'll start with a couple more shots of me doing what I seem to do best...get stuck. This time it only took 10 minutes...




Airjack - great piece of kit. It helped with the recovery...(must now get some waffle boards...)


NJF playing around


And despite the Kumho's - NJF couldn't get up this slope.


The Lesser Spotted NJF in the undergrowth...

(It may have been at this point that NJF's winch cable incorrectly spooled. It was a very heavy recovery - using my D3 as the anchor; breaks full on; and NJF having to pull himself over a small but steep slope with what amounted to an overhang. At one point he was winching me backwards despite brakes being fully on - I was basically being dragged. And it was not possible to be straight-on due to available space)

Up on the big climb




Here is the difference between offroad and on road tyres. At the very same spot.
2008 - ground much, much drier. Stuck, crabbing (nearly dangerously) and in need of a tow:


2009 - ground damper, very, very sandy and loose. Straight up...


A final one of NJF...
 The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Club "yes, I too have had the EGR's replaced..."
Club "yes, I too have had the compressor replaced..."
Club "yes, I too once had the car at the dealer for a couple of weeks nearly 4 weeks over 4 weeks...5 weeks"
Club "yes, I too have had EPB failure..."
Club "yes, I too get mysterious bings and bongs..."

Looks like you guys had alot of fun.

I think I will get a set of Kumho's too for pure offroading.
