Thanks Bart, I really love it but due to health problems it has to go so if you know somebody looking send them my way. If I was rich I would keep the Sami and VX then I could go anywhere under any conditions. It has a great motor and solid body, unlike some I have seen.Quote:

That's my friend Tom driving the Troop and having a blast hammering through the snow drifts.

My VX. We took both vehicles just in case the Trooper farted out.

This is scary. I came really close to sliding off this cliff. I know you can't tell from the photo, but trust me that this spot scared the crap outta me. My rear end just kept sliding toward the cliff and I made the dumb mistake of stopping as it was happening. Slowly I got out of it with Tom spotting. After I pulled out of it, he looked at me and said, "dude, that was way to close". My heart was pounding for like 15 minutes after that. This was the closest I have come to rolling my VX. Yikes.

We also sent a little lead downrange while we were out there.

sweet. nice pics bart.
a little off-topic, but i went snowbashing with the new 'yeti' on saturday.
wish i had a camera, but i got some light carnage. i got into a fight with a tree and lost half a mirror.
Nice pics Bart, that fog does make it look like a lake! So I take it by the last photos and comments you were sending "a little lead downrange" at the "wild horses." ? :p
I wish that was in MY backyard. Looks like a blast!
Bart,
Thanks for the shots! Makes me want to go out and have a little fun with my VX. That one picture really shows how close you came from rolling down the cliff. I agree 100% - SCAREY!!!!!
Peace.
Tom
No way, thats big trouble in little reno. Plus Bart wouldnt hurt an animal unless they were the last two creatures on earth and even then he would have a hard time.Quote:

My friend recorded a bit of our snow fun around Wendover this last weekend. The 3 vids pretty much suck, but they are here. Video and pics never do justice.
LoL i know what you mean. A few yeas ago when i was rolling around in my hoopty 91 Toyota Camry on the expressway. needless to say i was coming off the exit ramp, and hit a patch of black ice, did a 360, and the car stopped in the shoulder after hitting a few hay bales. That was probably one of the scariest things to happen to me driving. Good thing nobody was behind me or i would of been a goner for sure and luckily i was able to drive away.Quote:

I like animals better than most people, so....Quote:
