Further explanation of the theme, which is provided by chromatic9:
Choose your off-road surface, fit the appropriate tyres and find that great photo.
In the immortal words of Simon and Lindsey... It's gripped, it's sorted. Let's off-road!
CARS: No restrictions. Some cars can't be fitted with off-road tyres
but many non rally cars can be, so try not to settle for the obvious
Ford Focus or Citroen C4 Rally car.
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTO TRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above
