Favorite Driving Areas?

What is your absolute favorite driving area? I a a little bored sitting here waiting for my second OL to come in so I was wondering.

I love driving in nice loose dirt. I love watching the little thing pond through it, marking its territory with tiny tracks on the dirt where it roosted away. My track for my 1/10 trucks turned out to be a nice obstacle course for the OL.

I also love driving on hardwood. Powering out of a corner with the tail hanging out never gets old.

What are your favorites?

Both my big bad tomcats are scared of my Toyota LC 239 - I wonder why?

Anywho... Back to the question 99% of my OL's running is done outside in the garden,
speeding across the grass, jumping tree roots, kicking up the dirt, doing rock traverses in the rockery...
You get the picture?

Best thing I've bought in AGES

Favourite places

Hehe,

The lounge. Why? Drives the wife insane!
I had my Pajero at work today and the technical guys built some nice ramps from 19" cabinet balnking plates, cardboard boxes and other items.
They were impressed with it, in fact, the engineers race 1/10th, so playing with the Overland was a novelty for them.

I like running them on smooth concrete with lots of open area to build man-made ramps and obstacles.

I love somewhat hard packed dirt. Making ruts and trying not to get stuck in them. Uve seen the pics of my OL digging into the dirt. I like possible stuff but NOT easy. It's really fun with 2 OL, when one gets stuck and the other pushes it out or pulls it out. I made a little tow strap, and hooks on the OLs. Fun times!

Don't forget dirt-lathered, small-gravel filled, uphill climbs. It's fun to watch the suspension do its work.
