Ouch!...I bet that hurt :(

BTW maximum wading depth of the Patrol is 0.7 metres. Looks like it may come in handy next week as well as the difflock and low range 4WD :|

Will that make us the "Special Patrol Group"??

I think the M3 has a wading depth of circa 0.3 metres. Wonder what it is in a westfield? I guess we have a prime candidate to strap an outboard onto if nothing else :-)

cue the rule changes

The aero package on these P1 cars is clearly causing issues. I've almost lost count of the barrel rolling accidents this year, all caused by a high speed slide and subsequent lift off

How about they raise the ride height to Toyota Hilux level? That should fix the problem :D
