| ......the angle of the dangle |
|
has anyone tried to work out the angle or gradient of the slope
The may be a silly question....on the slope & the Disco comes to a stop is the is intentional or did the car stop trough not being able to go? ....have Disco3 HSE TD6 Auto...winter mobile
....also Jag XK......the economy 5.0 litre one...I'm REALLY smitten with this
....& have a Freelander 2 SE Auto...realistic runabout....

Hmmm....Steep yes... but the growth direction of some of the vegetation there suggests a slight trick of the camera angle perhaps ...no?  Existential Phenomenologist.

can't put my finger on it, but theres something odd about the speed of the car and the rotation of the wheels. Almost as if it being roped up, but I can't see a rope ...
If its kosha though ..............Somewhere in-between my old D3 and what's to come next .........

Unfortunately I did not take the video myself, but I also think that there is a slight camera trick involved.

Tiaan that looks like "Koos se Klip" ?
If you look at the tree in the right hand side of the picture from about 2:08 onwards, the tree appears pretty much vertical. From what I have heard it is supposed to be in the low 40's (deg).

The lightness on the front of the D3 did make it look like it was being winched up... I even spent ages looking for any blurring where the cable had been removed from the image 
Hats Off
