Syncro to the cape "old telegraph track"

21
Gents,
Please note that I would love to take the credit BUT it was NOT me who did the cape trip, the trip was performed by my wild nephew James. He purchased his Syncro from Peter K after I put them in touch with each other a couple of years ago.
I can't wait to see all James's photos and videos.
Cheers
Rick

This shows why its better to tackle "Gunshot" in a Syncro rather than a Landcruiser.(OK it might also be something to do with the competence of the driver.)Your video was unbelievable Nick . I'm in admiration but must be getting old as we took the non-bungey jumping route when we went. It appearss that every vehicle that gets through scrapes a bit more off the face of the track as the front levels up and the back digs in until you end up with almost a 90degree drop.
However I get the impression that if your gearbox had needed taking apart you would have  reassembled it standing up in a canoe whilst crossing the Jardine River - just for the challenge! Thanks for the video I clicked on one by it and there is a Landcruiser facing the drop with  a woman's voice saying very severely "We are NOT going down that way!"- sounded like Basil Fawty's wife.
