This was my very first 4x4 experience ever. Must say I got respect for this Ford Everest Limited. Definitely gonna do some offroad upgrades soon. My 2 daughters had enjoyed this trip thoroughly. They can't stop talking about how awesome you guys are. Thank you to everybody. You guys are the best!

Charles, commenting on your drive, you drove the perfect line, outside of the deep ruts , but give credit to the Everest, one can see how the traction control kept adapting.

Kurt I really enjoyed it.

Howsit Charles. Well done today.CharlesFowlds wrote:This was my very first 4x4 experience ever. Must say I got respect for this Ford Everest Limited. Definitely gonna do some offroad upgrades soon.

Take it from me, I learnt to wheel with most of these okes since about 2012 and the common denominator is that they enjoy the outdoor life and are really good at helping you learn and be safe while doing it. And don’t take any offence to the brand bashing, it’s part of the fun (I owned a few Pajero’s)

I suggest you join in and get to know the guys, they are all awesome.
Cheers, from a wet and muddy England

Hi Charles, we are busy renovating our Webpage, it has run over schedule, but it should be up soon, then you can join the Club.
Please give it a few days.
