On a previous post I went into a bit of a road test i did between the Q7
and a Range Rover Vogue.
......Was very funny at the weekend
Mr Q7 was attempting to launch a heavy boat on a steep slipway - with
twin turbos, reversing cameras, adjustable suspension, adjustable height
and retractable tow bar - the works.
I don't know if it was driver error or the Q7 (i suspect the former
keeping his foot on the break) - but both boat and vehicle went sliding
down the slip! - The tide was at seasonal low and the further down they
went the slippier the slip was.
Anyway the comedy act ended about 5 meters later when the boat jack
knifed into the pier wall and stopped.
Needless to say I had the winch out, yanked them back up the slip,
hitched the boat onto the cruiser, put the boat into the water and
pulled it back out that afternoon - no bother
The banter and craic was mighty and I reckon Mr Q7 will be looking for a
set of AT's to replace the fancy slippers that came with it from
germany.
Anyway - looks like a classic case of "Old age and experience out
weighing youth and exuberance"
Keep it lit !!
