4x4 Advantage

[Rod & Bubbles]

On the way back from tanay, convoy kami. 3 patrols, 2 L200s, 4x4md and bubbles. Marami mga areas dun, hindi paved yung road. smooth but unpaved. we were traveling at an average of 60 km/h. kamingmga nasa likod wal nang nakikita kundi dust.

in one of the areas na unpaved, we caught up to a car. Lancer yata yun. All i can say is, kawawang car...

Imagine this... dahandahan ka kasi di kay ng car and lilipad dust, madudumihan. then a bunch of big 4x4s running that fast overtakes you in a narrow 2 lane road...

Pag daan namin zero visibility na yung car. d ko na nakikita sa kapal ng dust.

4x4 Hari ng daan!

[Rod & Bubbles]

By the way, second to the last yata ako sa convoy. open windows ko all the way to antipolo. shampoo ko di bumubula and yung tubig galing sa buhok ko grey...

Kawawa nga. Sarap talaga ng tumatakbo ng mabilis on dirt roads. Ganyan ginawa namin ni Ungas at kimpOy from Hi Peak dati, eh. Parang Paris-Dakar. Hehehe. I was touching close to 100 kph at times although I was trying to keep it in the vicinity of 60 kph lang.

Ika nga sa Discovery Channel: "The 4x4 is king!"

wahahaha! ayos!

ROD,
nung clinic ng Delta Recon nakabukas din ang windows ko, eh sobrang pino yung soil, parang powder. after nun kakulay na ng soil ang interior ng VItara ko, badtrip! next time sasara ko na talaga windows. hehhe!

[wreckless]

hehehe..
awang-awa nga ako dun sa lancer..

inis na inis siguro yung driver..
either sa inggit dahil d nya kami magaya o
dahil pinakain namin sya ng alikabok..

ang laking advantage talaga ng 4x4!

[kimpOy]

gusto ko lang naman umuwi ng maaga eh

[afrasay]

siguro sabi niya, "ay salamat nakadaan na ang mga hinayupak na SUV's na ito." Then dumaan kami... :D

[wreckless]

pinakain nyo rin ng alikabok???
hehehehehe

[wiretap_md]

Hahahaha! I agree. Wanted to go home fast kasi habol kami sa 6:30 pm mass sa PhilAm.

Inunahan kasi ng Prado. Bilis takbo. Nag give chase din si co_drums with his Safari. Sunod ako and the rest were at my back. There were instances nga na we were reaching 100kph sa mga downhills. Bilib ako sa power ng Safari. Mabigat pero kayang kaya ng 4.2li TD42. Buti nalang my measly 1.6li can give chase.

Tawa ng tawa nga gf ko. Sabi nya na ride ko ang pinaka-"cute" among the pack kasi lahat sila monster SUVs.

[Rod & Bubbles]

Pinakain namin ng alikabok pero bastos yung mga nauuna sakin. pinakain din ako ng alikabok. literally. tuwing dadaan ng dusty road nalalasahan ko yung lupa.

crawdaddy,
interior, upuan damit ko ipin ko yosi ko pati baga ko kakulay na nung alikabok. what can i say, nung pampanga trip, open windows ako. dun naman pinaliguan ako ng lahar. basa pa talaga.

dare, next trip, tanggalan ng pintuan para true off road feel!

[Ungas]

Nyahahaha!!! Aray ko, parag tinamaan yata ako dun, in-overtake pa kita at one point. :D

[Rod & Bubbles]

sama nyo sakin eh. eh ano kung 90 kmh lang ang topspeed ko!
tadyak proof naman ang body ko!

tsk, tsk, tsk, aping-api yung lancer ah

huwag naman sana palagi mag ganyan...baka sabihin ng iba, masyadong mayabang ang mga naka 4x4, at madamay naman yung mga mabait katulad namin... baka naman batuhin kayo ng mga taga doon next time dumaan kayo ng mabilis masyado...tsk, tsk, tsk, tread lightly naman kid! (just your conscience speaking, hehehe)

[MAXBUWAYA]

no way.
ECHO is king!

wreckless,

i love a good fun run on dirt roads as much as any of you kaya guilty din ako dyan, at pinakain ko rin ng alikabok ang ibang sasakyan before.

pero naisip ko na rin, na medyo hindi ata tama yung ginawa ko (making innocent on-roaders eat my dust that is) dahil public road yung dinaanan ko at hindi naman trail or race track. yun lang naman...peace and happy trails ;)

[kiper]

ako rin pinakain ko sila lahat ng alikabok duon..!!

bwarharharhar..kawawa lahat ung mga iniwan ko na un..

buti na lang naka4x4 tayo..!!

wiretap..ako rin nakacute SUV siguro di ako napansin ng gf mo..hehe..feeling kasama nama ako sa clinic eh noh..!!

sayang di ako nakasama..huhuhu..pero may next time pa naman!!

What i do as far as these one day seminars for 4x4 driving is not a true full blown lesson, that would take 2 days to really be in a 4x4 driving seminar, what you did was more of a orientation to the sport.

Now if its dirt road driving you want pwede rin kitang turuan ng Rally Driving. ;)

[mazdamazda]

does having a 4x4 vehicle have its advantage over a 4x2 vehicle on dusty roads only? i don't think so...

or would an AWD or all time 4WD vehicle be able to outrun you on that conditions? hint: evolution
