There is some problem in uploading the pics
That must be occurring due to large size of images. Either re-upload them after resizing under 1000x1000 Pixels or E-Mail me on vibhor[at]theautomotiveindia.com. I will post them here on your behalf.

Re: Fortuner Owners: Read For Some Off-Roading?

It was just an amazing experience, which can't be expressed in words[clap] , didn't expect Toyota to organise a 4WD boot camp in Bangalore in spite of its huge success and a long wait period may be the pressure from its rivals (X1,Santa FE and others) it was a very well organised and professional event in association with Autocar, the event did make me feel a premium car buyer, the hospitality of the event was very much pleasing.

Now coming to my Fortuner, the event did help me to show its full potential it may be or may note be a hard core off roader like a Jeep but I don't want to do a hard core off roading with my Rs.25 lakh investment. The experience of using the 4WD low is very addictive. The terrain was very well planned with some steep inclines, declines, axle twisters, tilts and the slush. Driving through them was just AWESOME!

Couldn't click any pics of my car in action, but here are few pics will upload some more by tomorrow

After the event, I did around 3 laps, but there were others who were so excited and went around for 6-8 laps

Here is a video, found it on Youtube

Literally some mind-blowing stuff. I can really well imagine how that off-road experience in a prepared environment would have been. Thanks a ton for sharing. [thumbswink]

Was it only the Autocar / Toyota staff and Fortuner owners permitted or the event was open for other audiences as well?

Re: Fortuner Owners: Ready for Some Off-Roading?

nice dude [clap] well i was hoping to see your beast pic in action but these pic is also good . i have to agree on 25L investment even though these beast are made for those work but still 25L is too much to waste unless you are rich .
