Ah. A year or so ago I met a fuel anker on such a road and was
treavveling too fast to stop, But the trusty 4WD scraped past at 45
degrees with two wheels up the bank.

Being most 4X4's are quite tall, with the two n/s wheels up a bank it
would be setting the vehicle at 45 degree angle *towards* the tanker
(by a fair percentage of the height of the vehicle).

The only way that could have happened and it helping was if it was a
lower car based 4X4?


Factory recommended max tilt angle for Defender 90 hardtop is 40
degrees.

He may have been in an Audo TT Quatro or summat.

Most drivers chicken out long before that.

Ah, but this is TNP. A legend in his own lunchtime. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

When the unexpected happens one can get all 4 wheels up the bank!
