I went on one of those red letter day pay and play events today in a Hummer H1.It had some quite challenging stuff. Lots of mud and water troughs,and some very steep gradients.As usual the Hummer didn't fail to impress.

All the time i was there i was taunted by the staff and instructors as to if i would be mad enough to take the H2 around.So at the end of the day i asked if i could give it ago.I think they were a bit miffed,as they probably thought i wouldn't want to try it....

EGAD, that looks like fun! Reminds me a little of the Hummer driving academy that once thrived over here. How did your H2 do on the course?:perfect10s:

It did really well. The course is specifically layed out for the H1. The instructors and staff were ribbing me about taking the H2 around. Not to do the H2 injustice i jumped at the chance. And when i did. Instructors and staff reached for their camera,s expecting a massive fail. But they were very disappointed,as the H2 took it all in its stride. And in comfort too. I was even impressed myself as i thought the biggest issue would be the vehicle,s weight going against it. In fact it was an advantage. The weight kept it down.so no wheels were spinning or was i strugging through the mud and water. And with the torque from the engine i was able to plough through and out the otherside and up very steep slopes with ease. Excellent stuff.
