My Pathy at Work
« on: July 18, 2006, 09:00:04 am »
No crossover here!

From yesterday, hunting mountain pine beetle, going through some cross-ditches.

The photos do not really show the depth of the cross-ditches well, but just look at the amount of articulation in the suspension to get an idea.

I don't see the big deal ? We go through way worse roads with a 1 ton van at work.

Show me your pic's of you going through  18" of mud and I'll be  :bow:

No mud this time of the year   ;D

For some reason the pictures do not show the depth of the cross-ditches very well.  They are not radical but its all I got for now  ;)

I will of course post others as I get them.

Hey, we are here to see Trainman's bushwhacking truck.

You need to start a new thread with your off-road exploits. I wanna see.

Sorry - I won't post again (here). I was just responding to the statement "No crossover here!" with a few old pictures of using the Forester in Trainman's neck-of-the-woods (south-east of Kamloops).  ;)

That's OK, I do not mind seeing stuff like that.  But in my mind, the Forester is not a cross-over, it is cute-ute, like X-Trail and the like   ;D

And I want to see more too, so start posting   :bounce:

Nice lookin' truck  :thumbup:

They are just reflectors.  Being a black truck, it can be hard to see at night.  A lot of dark coloured railway cars also have reflectors on the sides, to help people not to drive into the side of them at crossings at night.

OK, it's not a crossover - it is a small, tall wagon (Impreza) with REAL AWD!  :thumbup: ;D 8)
