The angle of tilt and the top looks pretty scary too. The Defender made it look easy though! What angle do you reckon it was? And would it have been possible to drive up it? (I think probably not!) DS3 TDV6 HSE

Chris... was not the toboggan run the one you had the shut down on ?
Or is that the one that you have to bounce off the sides to get down in one piece ?

Chris, as I think I mentioned at the time, I suspect your shutdown was due to the amount of 'air' you achieved causing reverse torque when you landed again and stalling the engine
That said, Ray managed Jeronimo in third gear, high box previously with no problem (apart from the 2 metre jump when he launched off the tree stump at the bottom ) for Freelander 2 Diesel, Discovery 3 / RR Sport TDV6 & RR Sport TDV8, Defender (TD5 & Puma) - available Now!
Vehicle modifications, preparation, training and equipment also available
