Let's see what a stock Gladiator is capable ...

Before I get going. She takes her Dramamine.
When we go on an ocean cruise. She gets the patch behind her ear, Scopolamine.

Which NISMO model do you have?

The Duck Bumper might be the only thing which I would modify ...

My wife, as the navigator, was extremely pleased with the off road capabilities of the Gladiator.
She quoted it as "it is going like a big snake around the corners".

But she was my Co-Pilot for about 10 years on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and was relatively happy when I gave up this hobby. Seems that driving slow better fits to both of us ...

hmm, duck bumper? We're not talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the button on the dash that looks like a duck that activates off road "cruise control"

Ah, understood. There were some declines where this mode could have been use but I didn't used it. Prefer to rely on my own senses.

Oh that's handy the patch that is.... any medical people here know of other effects that drug can have. Time for game of twenty questions.
Oh, sorry I might be thinking of something else or higher doses.

• allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives; swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
• blurred vision.
• changes in vision.
• confusion.
• dizziness.
• eye pain.
• fast, irregular heartbeat.
• hallucinations, loss of contact with reality.

I've heard some organizations have used it for interrogations. I'm sure for the effects listed, with a few others not listed.

Back more to the thread. I've not even remembered that in a few of my first aid kits has Dramime. I'm sure it's expired. ?
In a lot of my past trips, I didn't take any pictures. Sadly that's from a reformed shutterbug.

I think with her you would have good fun on the Nürburgring.

Those where mine

Nürburgring would be a blast..... Just not in my car. Tail end gets a bit light over 120. Nice variety in cars.

Here's mine.

Just a conclusion,

the Gladiator took us home the 750 miles in total comfort (like a S-Class).

It was somehow hard to believe that we were doing this relative challenging off road trip and then just going back without doing anything on the car.

Nevertheless, next year I plan to do that event with the TJ, so the JT just has to pull the TJ to Italy and back.

Today the organizer sent me a kind email together with a nice souvenir.

Good morning Joerg Rattay,
At the end of the 36th edition of the "International 4x4 City of Gradisca Gathering", we would like to thank you for sharing an intense off-road day with us in what has proven to be a great point of union and cohesion among many 4x4 off-road enthusiasts.
We send you a photograph of the moment of your departure for that hundred km (and more) that took you across different typologies of the Friuli Venezia Giulia territory on roads, dirt roads, riverbeds, fords, paths, through woods and vineyards and to learn about our typical food and wine aspects.
Thanks and see you at a next off-road appointment.


Kind regards

Team G.F.I. Alpe Adria – Gradisca4x4
