Re: Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
Hey Jeff. I shift in and out of 4wd at speed quite frequently. It's
usually patchy conditions that prompt it. Scooting along at 50 and
hitting a slick patch in 2wd can cause you to swap ends pretty quickly,
as you already know. Of course, slowing down before the patch helps too!

Re: Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
Yup. We got away last weekend to a 'cottage' up north. Fireplace,
outdoor hot tub, nice big flakes of fluffy snow....
We are heading into the bush somewhere on New Years for sure. Likely
running solo though because the area has been taken over by snowmobiles
and ATV's now that the clubs published all the trails so the cabin we
usually use is always occupied these days.
At least solo we aren't worried about camping and having unprepared
folks to look after....

Re: Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
Cottage with hot tub? <gasp>
Watch out for those ATVers, there were a bunch of nasty ones last time.
Moonshine and firearms make for interesting companions.
Thanks again for inviting me last summer, I really enjoyed getting the Grand
a little dirty and getting some off-road experience with it.

Re: Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
Cottage with hot tub? <gasp>
Watch out for those ATVers, there were a bunch of nasty ones last time.
Moonshine and firearms make for interesting companions.
Thanks again for inviting me last summer, I really enjoyed getting the Grand
a little dirty and getting some off-road experience with it.

Re: Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
Even in Europe? In Europe it is not considered unmanly to ask for
directions. It is just foolish. Anyone who works at a gas station has
lived in the same town their whole life, and assumes that everyone knows all
the local landmarks. "Just take three redondas, (Or is it four?) and then a
left at the Plaza de Bilbao. Then two more redondas and you are there."
Never mind that a "redonda" is an evil round thing, with five streets coming
in and none apparently going out. You just got into town from a
trans-Atlantic flight and have no idea where the Plaza de Bilbao is, or how
to tell, even when you get there. Explain this in your best university
Spanish, and they will look at you as if you are insane. Then they will try
to draw you a map on the back of your gas receipt, ignoring the rack of
"Callejeros" conveniently placed next to the cash register. Gas receipts in
Europe are even smaller than they are in the States. The map they draw will
have errors, but you should have known that the second "redonda" didn't
really count, because you were supposed to have entered and left on the same
street. If you get lucky, the second gas station will have a Moroccan
working there, who recently arrived in the country and still speaks at a
speed, that is not painful to the human ear. He will calmly hand you a
"Callejero", put an "X" at your current location and an "O" at your
destination. He won't even ask, why you are ten kilometers away, headed
directly away from where you want to go.
I was looking for the Civic Center Iparralde last week. I had two maps, one
of which had the location of the civic center but no street names. The
other had the streets, none of which went east-west, north-south, or even in
the same direction as any other street. I spent about five minutes
coordinating the information on the two maps, and concluded that I was
standing right in front of it. Damn!
