Nissans seem to get stuck a lot

[Big Rig]

I was doing some research today on the Foxwing Awning and found that TJM here in Brisbane stock them. They were good enough to give me a demo after a lot of harrasing - that was on the account it was blowing 20 knots +. I thought it was a good opportunity for them to put their so called money where their mouth was in terms of how well the foxwing handles windy conditions.
It was very unfortunat for the Salesman at the TJM Megastore as his U beaut Patrool was on display out the front with one side sitting high up on a fancy ramp. Showing off his high lift suspension and awsome wheel travel no doubt.............

Anyways, the foxwing was attached to said Patrool so the Salesman thought it best to drive it off the ramp down on to level ground for the demo. He started his car and proceeded to drive off the ramp ........ but hey - nothing but spinnin wheels and he kept spinning them until they were buried and the RHF one was off the ground - I guess the high lift wasn't that good after all Eh

The salesman invited me to hop in his patrool and drive it while he put some weight under the rear bar........ Under protest and getting close to closing time I did the unthinkable and sat in it Not liking the view I quickly baled out where the Salesman promptly asked me for a tow

Well of course I had to oblige - nothing like having to recover a Patrool from a perfectly good footpath by one of busiest roads in Brisbane during peak hour traffic .. As you can imagine the Salesman was trying to sink back into his shell however he wasn't able to avoid the dozens and dozens of Toyota drivers that always seemed to get stopped at the lights with enough time to put crap on the poor guy...
Needless to say, I did end up driving off with a new Foxwing Awning.

Prado saves Patrooooool you say..... You better believe it

UUUUHHHHHMMMMM looks very much like a posed shot there. Why didnt said Patrol driver Just release the hand break????????

The Nissan driver was just showing how he can recover a Yota bogged on the blacktop and still reverse up a ramp at the same time

Funny thing was - he was the only Nissan owner on staff there at the megastore so he copped a flogging by his fellow workers too. I could make it worse for hi, as he was one of the sponsored off road race drivers but i promised him that i wouldn't mention his name.

 

[bmurray2250]

LMAO, I know the place there Mark is and that is so funny. Video coming up too Mark?

 

[Walkabout]

Yeah he would have copped a thrashing from his work mates

 

[frosty]

I don't reckon it's the vehicles fault!!

What the???? Gota be a stunt??? Was the rear tailshaft in??

 

[Big Rig]

[logitech]

[bmurray2250]

But stuck on the black top, could understand if it was the mud Frosty was in but on the service road on a major road

 

[Big Rig]

you really had to be there. there was no set up the whole thing was for real. the shit he copped from drivers stopped at the lights was the funniest thing ever. i bet if you go back tomorrow he won't be parked on the ramp.

 

[frosty]

What was holding the truck back??? Or was it that high he 2 wheels off the ground?

Just a crap vehicle frosty, thats all.

he had the RHR on the ramp and it was too high. he must have had momentum on his side to get up but he had no traction on LHR and RHF. well very little anyway. once he tried to move he flicked all the sones from under the tyres and there he sat with a big embarrasing grin on his face. i thought for sure he would have had lockers but he didn't.

Umm or down at ARB getting some lockers fitted up. How Embarrassment. Reminds me of the time i had to recover Kiwi by pushing him backwards just by leaning on the car.
