[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 673884, member: 3960"] You might be right there but surely you was young once? Have you ever tried to break an unmodified light 2WD vehicle? I used to rally a Chrysler Gallant 1500 way back when they first came out. Those days we ran the same car that took us to work every day and the rallys took us over hundreds of kilometres of rough forestry tracks and country roads. I never broke that car. In later years we used to run a mobile computer repair business with a couple of Hyundai Excels as the service vehicles. One was nicely sign written so it was the ideal race car too. During the week the young computer tech would flog it around town but it got to go out on the weekends too. I bought Mrs M a light weight aluminium trolly jack and a 12v rattle gun. She would drive it to the autocross track, jack it up and swap the wheels then race it competitively through a tight rough 1.8km track with several laps during the day. She won several trophies for fastest lady driver over several years. That Hyundai always drove home at the end of the weekend and never needed a repair. The weakest link is the street tyres, they aren't usually suitable for rough offroad work. [/QUOTE]
