didn't land rover have a advert with a landrover climbing a wall years ago.

Yes, but double decker buses were always tested on a ramp tipping them sideways to a frightening degree.

Here is an example of that testing:

But at speed you wouldn't want to weave a double decker bus at 70 plus, as it is just not designed for speed.  That is why racing cars are very low to the ground for greater high speed stability.  A Range Rover will never have that advantage.  I have lost count how many 4x4's I have seen on their sides over the years.  Weaving at even 65 mph is pushing your luck ;)
Are these 4x4's on their side through trying to avoid you Lizzie?

I wish they had been trying to avoid me Steve! (Welcome back by the way; lovely to see you again! :y :y :y)

However, the times they have held me up whilst on their sides on motorways! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr >:( >:(   

 ;D ;D ;D ;)
