Are Gu Patrols the right shape for exploring or what !

Heading down a new track for the first time and in had a bit of a side slope across it but not to bad when all of a sudden the back end slips out about 1/2 a meter and crunch.

I hate it when this happens.

Now this cars still pretty new and I promised not to scratch it to much and so we get out to look with that sinking feeling starting to develop.

I'm by myself and by the time I got to the back of the car I had already short listed
3 possible explanations all absolving myself of responsibility.

Now on inspection there was no damage, incredible, the small tree was exactly the shape of the Patrols body as per the photo and while the branch touched the body work over maybe a meter or so there was nothing more than a deep rub mark.

Previously I have commented on how these cars are just the perfect shape for sliding thru the undergrowth but there is nothing like a practical demonstration.

If the wagons bodywork had been squarer like a 100 series or a previous GQ Patrol I had there would have been some panel beating.

Unfortunately one short broken branch section pierced the rear bumper plastic underneath but no one can see this, so with a little polishing in the field, complete denighability for this less than glorious moment will be possible.
