Last weekend I went with my brother and a few friends to a 4x4 centre in Wales. Basically a farmer has discovered it's much more profitable to charge boy racers £20 a vehicle to tear it round his farm, than to raise sheep.
My brother took a Ford Ranger pick-up so they were very well suited to the terrain. We were a bit more nervous particularly as we nearly gave up on the first track we went on. However, we soon got used to the Panda's 4x4 setup and what we could and couldn't get away. What followed was a day of throwing our little car up and down hills, over ruts, through puddles, across fields, through streams and into ditches. It's amazing what this little car cna do, we even managed to upstage my brother by getting through some bits he got stuck on. The whole day was amazing fun and I'd really recomend it to anyone, I think it may even be more fun in a car like ours because there is a bit more doubt over what you can and can't achieve. Between us we took hundreds of photos and a few videos which I've stuck in a gallery, which you can see by clicking here.
The car now looks amazing, it's covered in mud and looks very professional. It does rattle a bit more, but I'll hopefully sort that soon. Anyone with a 4x4 I can't recomend this enough.

...and did you know that in a Panda 4x4 - especially one with oversized tires, that you don't have to slow down for ANY speed bumps! My suzuki Jimny would reallysuffer over them but my Panda Flies (er - not literally.....)
