Atlantis 2x4 Fun day 30/01/10
The past weekend we had our first 2x4 day in the Atlantis dunes with huge success. Even with only three 2x4’s that joined us, it was hugely enjoyed. All three the vehicles were Toyota Fortuners and we had one Nissan Navara 4x4 that also joined the day.
The day was started with a little bit of uncertainty whether this was a good idea and if we were not just going to get stuck the whole time, but to most of the drivers it was an absolute eye-opener to what their vehicles were capable of. The Fortuners handled themselves fantastically and soon the drivers got the hang of things. With little effort even some of the tougher 4x4 obstacles were concurred with rather ease. We even got a, “hey that car is not in 4x4 yet……stop”, the reply from the food tent, “they don’t have 4x4………” needless to say, the jaws were hanging wide open.
We cannot say that the day was adventure free. Francois was kind enough to give me the opportunity to demonstrate how effective a Snatch-strap really is and that a good head support during this maneuver is advisable as we gathered afterwards at the fire…….. No egos were bent and with chins high and spirits even higher we completed the day with joy.
Great guys, you were great out there and you can be very proud of yourselves and your vehicles.
