I just saw a Ford Territory ? I think 4wd / AWD going by. From behind it had things that were attached to the back axle either side of the diff. They looked aftermarket and reduced the ground clearance considerable. This is the second time I saw one this week and noticed this. Can't be the same one (they were both silver in alexandria though).
Is that a design thingy or is it an add on do you know what I am rambling on about?

Probably like those little aerial thingys we used to see on old peoples cars, you know, the ones with the little balls on the end, and they used to tell if they are getting too close to the kerb.
In the Fords case, probably to detects if the track is getting too rough, and a warning light comes up on the dash, on the wife's side, so she can see it, and start berating her husband to turn back. You can have all the lights and buzzers you like, but when the wife crosses her arms and stares straight out in front, you just know you are in for a spray if you get stuck....

Wolfie,
Sounds to me like you must have been a back
seat passenger with someone else going down one of those tracks......after all, I simply can't imagine Tracey ever having sat there, arms crossed, staring out the front, getting ready to give you a spray if you got stuck. Not the Tracey i've met anyway!!!! hahahaha ;-)
