    I think he has no idea why off-roading is so fun.

    It sounds so boring and bleh, but once you do it....

    There's plenty of off-roading to be had... mostly desert type terrain, no mud or water. I spend most of my time racing through dried riverbeds, but there's plenty of rock crawling and sand hills to be had. And if you check out this thread, you'll see the top secret rally course my buddies and I discovered (where my sig pic was taken). PM me if you want directions to the good stuff.

Also, I lived in Australia for 4 years (although I was young) and we drove across it in a 2000 turbo-diesel toyota prado and that was quite the experience.
    Sounds like fun.

    There are hundreds of awesome off-roading trails in Colorado. But you are right, you get about 5mpg, lol.

    Why yes, I am pretty bitchin' in person.

    And rally E30s are bad-ass.
    I agree, I should have said I want to keep my e30 on the pavement. And I want an old Range Rover anyway. there are too many trails near my house to not have a 4x4.

    No, washboarding wasn't a problem on the track at all. It seems washboard doesn't form when you are spinning tires 100% of the time.
    Usually washboard free but large ruts do develop.

    I was thinking a beat up 89-92 range rover would be good because they're pretty cheap, AWD, coil sprung, and damn near indestructible. And the sound of an aluminum V8 at 5-6k doesn't hurt either.
    I have seen them run these in MDR/SCORE offroad racing. A friend of mine was a tech at a dealer in anaheim,ca and they had a 90 RR sponsored by that dealer.
