Good job there aint no moose`s in wolves!!!! :o :o :o

Some 'party girls' are the size of a moose though. ;D

The A class Merc actually rolled over if memory serves.

Aye it did and then they swiftly modified it so that it wouldn't ::)

How did Mercedes solve the problem, Henry?
By retrofitting the ESP system from the S Class iirc... A more basic version was previously an option on the A Class. The car tested was somewhat lacking. Obviously ;D So Mercedes didn't piss about in fixing it...

If a moose walks out in front of you, don't try and drive round it!   :o  ;D

This moose test made me chuckle.  :y

Wider track and lower centre of gravity I think.

Or what Al said or both ;D

My cousin has had Jeep Cherokee's and Grand Cherokee's for years and wouldn't have anything else.  He buy's new, keeps them for 4 or 5 years before chopping in for the next one.  :y

He starting to get on a bit now, so I doubt he goes much above 40 unless it's in a dead straight line though!  ;D

Good Choice Bertie, I had the 05 reg Grand Cherokee, in Mercedes Diesel 2.7 Mode. Once I got used to it rolling around corners it was a reliable machine that was never really tested with the weather, in the 3 years of ownership, typically we never had a bad winter while I had it, now sold it looks like we may have a bad winter....... ::) ::) ::)

Sold to Sister in Law who uses it regularly for towing a horse box with 2 flippin great big horses in it.......... :y

Modified front shocks to make it horrifically under steer on the ones already produced.
