Due to carrying small ones, we have moved from Golf, to Touran, to Octavia. Always exceptional on winter tyres in the Alps. But thinking of 4x4 for the steep drive we have in CH.
But perhaps a Synchro van? Astonishing....the van just walks it in the second clip....maybe the weight of the Discovery?

@valais2, We have a octavia scout, one of the last mk2 shape ones with the higher ground clearance than the current one. Its as good as my old avant quattro, I don't think it would do the above however!
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Weight, use of diff locks and tyres, but probably the skill of the driver in the VW.
Have a look at Ross Noble achieved in the Scottish Six Days trial if you get the chance. It's on the Dave TV channel. It does make these attempts look a bit poor
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@ansta1, ...goodness...you're kidding...you are the owner-driver of the white Synchro and on SH? Seriously impressive 'green-roading'. CV gaiters are a pain. Ball joints are dead easy...
