Manatee’s Mitsubishi thread prompted this... I’m nearing the end of my extended Spanish trip, ten weeks in total. During that time I’ve been out walking & scrambling, with various groups and friends, a minimum of 4 days a week, often into more ‘remote’ locations. Today really was the back of the back of beyond. Off a narrow twisty steep uphill road onto an even steeper rougher narrower mountain track until it finished on top of a col. I was car sharing in a friends Peugeot 2008, and on occasion we got out as he feared it bottoming out with passengers onboard. We literally abandoned the cars amongst rocks...a Hyundai i35, Mitsubishi ASX, Volvo XC60 & a Suzuki Vitara.
Hardly surprising that so many of my fellow walkers drive sitty uppy cars. Or that the local farmers living in their remote fincas drive battered old French combi vans.
You never see any fancy 4x4s up these tracks...too wide, and you’d be a bit upset at creasing the sills on roadside rocks!
Just another day when I’m so glad I didn’t have the Barbie mobile..passing a farmer on such narrow mountain tracks would have been a nightmare.
I need to reassess its replacement as I’m heading back this way for extended periods in the foreseeable...and ripping the sump off my rental would not have improved the day.
