Anyone seen a Touareg Offroad in NZ?

[deeveus 81]

Evidence that they are actually 4WD & yes there is probably only one idiot in NZ that actually has had it offroad. When I say offroad, I mean off gravel, off grass & judder bars & out of supermarket carparks.

I only got a few pics, tame ones at that, but I did get the girl quite badly stuck in the river, lucky I was able to be towed out & it was by a Nissan!

YouTube video of her going through one of the smaller crossings...

Great Stuff, How did the 4wd perform?

[deeveus 81]

Performed great, loads of power & probably loads of fuel consumption...

Just so nervous having it offroad though. I've had plenty of 4WD's before but none worth the caliber of this unit.

Good effort mate! I'd be too scared to do that in a Touareg.

Well done, you don’t see that every day! That water would scare me! I don’t mind mud but water!

How do you test the depth?

Ya don't Nah, the water was very very clear, where the spots started to look & appear green is where you didn't drive = too deep.

Mud unfortunately gets into every crevice, hole & stuffs the underneath of the vehicle (dirty) Not an attractive look to the next purchaser lol.

So that’s how you gauge it…will keep that in mind next time out in t5he E30!

The only time I have been out was in an old Surf.. I like cleaning though!

Good to see you're using the car for what it was made to do! You certainly don't waste time with your cars.

Not an attractive look to the next purchaser lol.

Here we go... you're thinking about selling it already?

Good to see you getting out and about & enjoying it.

Hahaha! Nah, not quite yet. Unless your offering good money & a beer?

We had one come along on a club run for shiny vehicles. He broke the diff. It was 3 weeks old. We never saw him or the vehicle again. Glad to see yours is stronger.

Oh bugger, he'd be gutted. 100k + offroad is an iffy thing!

Me wife spewed when she seen the footage of the truck stuck, cause it was that deep, the water was at the top of the wheels, I had to climb out the sunroof to get out! Otherwise the truck would have instantly turned into an aquarium the instant I opened the doors.

No money for the car mate, but the beer is no problem
