Sani Pass

Post by Irishman »

Did anyone watch that guy driving the Sani Pass on T.V. last night. His Landy first broke a half shaft, and then the drive shaft. Unfortunately the recovery vehicle was not a Toyota, looked like a Tata or something.They committed a cardinal sin and just hooked the tow strap over the tow ball.

Have seen this slot before; certainly filmed so as to get the un-imformed on the edge of their seats.
I'm sure that it was the first time the driver had ever driven a 4x4. No doubt some of the incidents staged.

It was on Nat Geo channel. I agree with Harold, they obviously had a second vehicle with them for the cameraman, and I thought it funny they didn't use it as a recovery vehicle
