TMT,
It appears as if that vehicle is wearing `slicks.`
Or, it was towing something? But, try as I might, I failed to spot a line.
Eric.

Actually, I think it's quite clever how he got it to 'Moon Walk'....all it needs is needs is 'Billy Jean' dubbed over the top

Wide Road tyres + wet muddy grass = Useless, regardless what vehicle it is. Traction control can't help if you have no grip, might be preventing it from getting going too though at least you can see its keeping all wheels turning pritty well. Never had a go in a vehicle with traction control but I think they need a slightly different driving style to get the best out of them, and this probubly isn't it.
Must admit I've been impressed at what modern RR and Disco3s can do on surprisingly smooth tyres, though the people driving them were basicly LR demo drivers so knew the score, perhaps not so surprising! Like everything else they rely heavilly on traction control now but unlike most it can actully work well off road if put in the right mode and driven how the computer expects, though from the passengers seat it seemed a bit boring.

Had a 08 plate TD4 Freelander at work today because of the snow, they are nice, but if you like off roading then the computer doing all the fun bits actually make them boring to drive. There is an initial wow factor which soon becomes boring, which is the other way around to syncro's which seem to grow on you until you wont have anything else. There is a new car appeal, which wears off, and you buy another, and usually of a different make. Wet grass is almost as bad as Ice.
