It was an awesome day, wish we could have had more Pajero's there.
The traction control performed really great, but the day was mainly about control and knowing how big, small or nimble your car is.
I'll load some more during the week.
- The 3.8 idles out of these....
- The Speed section

Andre,
I'm glad you are still enjoying your Pajero.
When you say "The traction control performed really great", does that imply that you are getting more out of it as you grow more accustomed to it's function.

Andre,
I like the pics. The lift was doing it for you there. I also like the new (original) rims.
How fast were you going on the speed section, and what was you tyre pressure? It looks (to my untrained eye) like it was ready to pop off the rim? Do you adjust your tyre pressure between different challenges?

hey FROG,
why didn'y you mention the way that you spin a little then the TC kicks in and then the Pajero "hops" through that section of the obstacle.....

Jip Doug has nick"maned" me the frog.
The Pajero was looking for traction and all of a sudden found plenty of it, which send me jumping like a frog over the axle twisters.
My tire pressure was at 1.2bar The nice thick sidewall from thee Maxxis kept it nice and on the rim!!
Her are some more pics

The stickers will come off shortly, I had to have them fitted for the Bridgestone Fundi Challenge.
My next set will definitely be a set of Maxxis Bighorns.

She does look cool with the stickers, I'm considering replacing them with something else. Not sure yet.
Suppose if bridgestone sponsor's me then they might stay
The maxxis are a lot louder than the Hankooks, but they really well, and it seems I will be getting very km's out of em.
We'll see.
