Vid of some of my moroccan adventure
irvined - 15/10/09 at 04:01 PM

Just a shortie of some of the roads i was on, the main roads are fantasticly smooth and the tolls are pretty much empty, this is through the midi atlas after some heavy rain and this is the part of the road I could actually stop and get the camera out, i was amazed at the offroad capabilities of a seven.

That's fantastic - it looks almost as dangerous as driving round the M25!

The highlight of that particular morning was having to get out the car to clear a rockslide so i could drive through.

There is a write up of the trip down here: http://irvined.blogspot.com/2009/10/from-goodwood-to-sahara.html

All I can say is you must have Cahonnes the size of water melons.

Geez, brave man!!! I think I would have had squeeky arse desease around every corner. What ground clearance have you got, 2 foot?

Come on how many wing stays did you get through? 50? 60?
Furthest I've been in my car without it breaking is around 16 miles

Just had a read through your blog of the trip,I would not fancy driving a seven down some of those roads in the Midi Atlas mountains,but the rest of the roads and the trip looked great,would love to do a trip like that next year. Rescued attachment ride height.jpg

that trip could have been the one of your lifetime - didn;t take you long to learn to get off the road when a vehicle comes at you from the oppostiste direction.

good effort - I would only do that in my land rover, not 7.

looikjs like you jacked up the suspension sowewhat.
