LOL. My Dad has the same model Rodeo (diesel - non-turbo) and it is the most gutless POS ever. Those Rodeos can take some punishment though. I'd love to take Dad's Rodeo to do some extreme driving like that, but I don't think he'd approve of it. LOL.

This one is 2.6 petrol, goes OK, its done 12 or so jumps like that, nothing major broken yet, few minor probs but with the bigger wheels and the front end jacked up its not that bad, hard landings but its taking it OK. We are thinking of doing a dodgy external rollcage and some window nets, then we'll hit it in 2nd gear.

That is bloody awesome.
You should mount a video camera in the car so we can see what it would like. Very nice mate.

thats cool, we used to do that with a mates old navara - also in canberra, if you know the Hawker flats, tried their driveways, got some awesome air but after the 3rd run its a good idea to get outta there, plenty of p*ssed off rezees wondering what the hell was launching under their balconies.

Ha ha ha - that is awesome. Holden product doesn't look too bad when its airborne !
Now try it with a VN..... If we all chipped in a few dolars I'm sure we could fund a 'VN to heaven' - give so that it may fly ! |

Hahaha, awesome videos. Got a lot of air there and looks like a lot of fun ! Did the landing hurt much, any extra padding in the cars or just the good 'ol seatbelt and a bit of whiplash ?
