I am new to 4x4 and Jimny..... well I have had mine nearly 2 years now! And I was still afraid of the little "gear stick" so this weekend I did this....

It was excellent, the car was just like mine, but not mine 😉 so nothing at all to worry about... and a lot of fun.

This demonstrates my long held belief that there's no better thing to buy for a jimny than tuition. Add seat time to the knowledge and suddenly your jimny becomes unstoppable!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The most important thing is that it wasn't your own car!

I went on the LandRover driving experience a couple of times, as a colleague kept buying new LandRovers which come with complementary tickets. They only scratch the surface of what the car can do if you don't care about the odd dent and gouge, or being able to drive it 150 miles home straight after :)


I know that mine would be capable of great things if I could just get/crawl/be cut  out of it afterwards and hand back the keys....

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
