It looks so smooth when you first look at the snow covered ground. But the stones under the white powder are as sharp as ever. Add to this that the grip, even with studs, sometimes are nill. The Disco is much lower than the RRC and a scratched paint work is not something that impress my wife at the end of the day. So, a carefull throttle foot and a rather turn back than take a risk was my word this day.
If it wasn't for the fear of damaging the sills or wings, I believe this car could be almost unstoppable.
A drive through the forest requires a rec walk before you drive. Having this done, planning the route bit by bit, always with the possibility to turn, there was no problem driving a quite difficult route.
The problem with the disco, as I see it, in the terrain is the low sills with no protection. You have to be really careful when driving of stones. Even if I had rocks and stones sliding less than a cm under the sills all the time (tearing of my 3rd mudflap this day) I only had to turn and find another way once.
Well, after had almost completed a good turn, after almost an hour of work and a lot of pleasure, I was overtaken by two men in a ballon-tired and rised Jeep. They drove as if it was the high way... Anyhow, I was really satisfied and proud over my self, while they looked rather bored. :)
