this is the result of a 31 yr old and 3 yr old making joint decisions
First of all please feel free to laugh as this was just pure stupidity on my part. I was taking my son to a birthday party but we were a bit early, so with idle time I decided this ditch would be a fun way to test out the new Range Rover. Of course I asked my 3 year old if he would like to drive in the ditch and got a resounding YES!!!!!
So we approached this not very steep ditch and went in slowly. Other than just making a really dumb choice in the first place I think my speed was my major problem. The ground looked solid but its was super soft. This is the result. 
the end result was a bit of a hurt ego and a small tow bill for my childish mistake. Looking back it was a bit of a laugh.

Funny!
Well, we all learn something new every day . Hope you find a better place next time to have fun in the RR!
Great cooperation! :)
Father and son quality time! Guess mother was mildly impressed...? Thank you for sharing this fun story with us! Best Blomman
it was great father son bonding
and the misses was not very impressed, but not all that upset either. Her first question was did you get connor to the birthday party on time, which I did. Then she asked if the bill was less than 200, which it was, and the was the end of it. I'm glad you...
This sounds like a slightly familiar incident which leads me to believe...
Men must certainly be from Mars!!!! Helen

i remember going thru the worst offroads with my lowered old VW Jetta 2 (but only 900 kg) and an Audi A4 Quattro and never get struck ... untill i took my cousins Suzuki Samurai-Jeep and offcourse having to call the local farmer ... Way to go buddy .. we ...
Now the question is, next time you get another SUV
will you test it out again in this same ditch ? Cheers, Anthony
well the good thing is under normal
circumstances I don't drive an SUV, and won't be venturing into any more ditches LOL. I think if Jen would have let me buy the porsche I wanted to get her it would have gotten right through. She says it was not the SUV but driver error. She is most likely...
As long as...
...nobody got hurt, and you can laugh about it now, I'm all for these (mis)adventures! Daos
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
however i'm very surprised it got stuck what with all the gizmo's it has on it. i've driven a MK1 discovery without any gizmo's across a wet ploughed field, but for that you need a lot of speed and stupidity have you done a day with the landrover experien...

i havent had it for 18 months Andy so you missed out. i swapped it out for my merc and then experienced 3 awful bouts of snow. bloody typical i do have plans to get another 4x4 when i need to change the merc, but that could be a while yet and i'll have mo...
Cool post! Do not feel guilty. The fault lies on the tires. Nowadays SUVs...
Get equipped with tires that have to be silent, create no vibrations on the steering and not melt at 240 kms/h with more than 2,5 tons of load Those polivalent tires are like the swiss knife , they can do it all but nothing right. Get decent off road tire...
I'm happy I could make your day G
I have not done a land rover day yet although I think it would be a ton of fun. Unfortunately over hear in the states most Range Rovers seem to be driven by women that just think they look cool, which is the case for my lady. She has absolutely no intenti...
i understand what you mean...
i understand what you mean about the bad ass soccer mom although over here its more the 'surrey mum' which refers to women from the home counties around London. you should really try an off road day, i think you'll be surprised how fun it is, addictive fu...
