Oh dear. I hope this isn't due to me taking you off-road in my wagon. A good demonstration of departure angle. I assume it wasn't that bad seeing that this appears to be on your way there, and you still made it to the coordinates, and home. I must say, you're doing a good job snatching up interior graticules on your first try, when I fail repeatedly. Juventas 04:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Nah, I've taken logging roads many times in this car. The failure was twofold: not realizing that the ditch was too deep, and getting both rear wheels in said ditch at the same time. I got the front end through one wheel at a time with no problem.

It turned out to be not an issue that I couldn't drive that track, as some 50m further, just out of sight, a tree had fallen across the track and I wouldn't have been able to go any further in the car anyway. -- Rhonda 04:46, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

You should have seen us driving off-road in MY car, Juventas! I didn't get stuck. But it wasn't really off road. -Robyn 05:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Logging roads are roads! -- Rhonda 06:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

That's a terrible thing to do to a Volvo. Shame on you. --starbird, a Volvo owner 07:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Ooh, suspense. I love it. -Robyn 08:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

What!? The Volvo was fine. As I said, the trailer hitch took the weight, there was no damage. Those cars are built like tanks. At least, the ones before Ford bought them are. -- Rhonda 14:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Of course they are. Their slogan should have been "Volvo 240: Industrial Strength". But it's an undignified position to put your car in, especially a Vehicle of a Certain Age. --starbird 19:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
