Älgaköret - 4x4 Meeting @ Bråt/Borås - October 2005

Easy driving...

 


No problem, this is like driving on asphalt... =)


All three cars are stuck ion the mud! =)

 

You could prepair a tow-strap before driving thru
the mud, Or you can do it this way...

After some winching all cars managed to get
thru the mudhole.
 
If you are a small puppy it's nice to take a nap
after looking at all the cars...

My friend Kai and his Suzuki.
 
Kai needs would really need some more
guts and some more groundclearence... ;-)

Most people would call this trail Undrivable.
These guys don't.
 

If a stone is the problem,
remove the stone!

Ready for a mud-bath...


 


But it wasn't that deep.
The C303 drove thru the mudhole very easily


This feels much steeper from inside the truck!
The rear door is still waiting for some new paint...

 

My friend Kai tried his Suzuki SJ413 in the terrain for
the first time. He really lacks difflocks!


Not your average Volvo 245... =)

 

Some more 4x4 action. A cute little Niva.

The winch mounted on my C303

 

First we tried some winching on almost flat ground

The winch is remotecontrolled by a rope!

 

Searching for a nice place to get stuck...

The winch adds some weight to the front axle...

 

There´s some mud behind those bushes.

Stuck at last! 4x4 and difflocks took me nowhere...

 

... But the winch did! At a glance!



4x4 Meeting - Bråt/Borås - April 2005

My C303 prepaired for a trip in the forrest...

 

There were many fallen trees after the big storm.


Some easy driving in the beginning...
I'll have to take care of those gray spots soon.

 

Driving like this feels much worse than it is...
The 303 will take much harder terrain.


On my way to the big swamp...


 

I passed this frozen "swamp" earlier without any problems.
The second time the ice broke...


Stuck in the mud...
Kai is helping me to break away those ice edges...

 

Me thinking: "This isn't any good..."
In this kind of situations you wish you had a winch...


A nice person asked me if I needed some help...

 

After some winching-help I'm back on solid ground!



4x4 Meeting - Winter 2004
One of the first times I drove my C303 in the terrain.

"Monstertrucking" with my C303
