One vehicle only, therefore no limit-testing, just safe offroading ;)
No videos this time.

Great pictures! My Compass routinely gets that muddy doing the "Rural Kansas Commute". I don't have as much hilly terrain though.

Very nice photos! How did it handle with mud and such? 2WD or 4X4?

No mentionable mud, just water. 4x4 (locked and ESP off to have more fun)

Ups :D
It looks much better without one... As seen from movies, front plate is not a must everywhere (in US), is it? Depends from the state, I guess..

Did you checked that place before driving through? Its tricky to do that without checking couse in forests there could be some soft surface under the water...:) In what region in Estonia are you mostly driving?

Yes, I did. Removed some sharp branches to avoid injuring the tyres (I have seen this happened, when wooden branch "finished" the tyre through the sidewall).
I was driving in north Estonia, visiting this cache (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC18FXB).
On Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=59.5237236023,25.8018894196) its better to see it.

The road was actually just a dry and sandy road in the forest, when we suddenly found two such ponds on the alternative road and we couldn't resist the temptation to take that road :smiley_thumbs_up:

The requirment of the front license plate varies from state to state. Most require it though.

i.e. you were using the "old-school-navigation" --- keep the sea coast on the left and the highway on the right :):):)
