Messing around with a Freelander and an XC70 on a small beach. Fully braking in the sand and trying to get them stuck, they both got out very easy.

  • Thanks for sharing.

    Happy to see you do this little test drive in the beach sand from a stop.

    I have an XC70 on my mind (I periodically need AWD).

    Looks like a nice place where I'd hang out (if allowed) to windsurf & kitesurf.

    Actually would love to know where that particular spot is. I think I may have been there at one point traveling through NL. I'm thinking: the West side of the Afsluitdijk.

    Happy memories of windsurfing and icesurfing in Friesland, years ago :)

  • @theicerabbit It is indeed just west of the Afsluitdijk, at the northern part of the former island Wieringen

  • where was the beach

  • In the north west of The Netherlands, the beach is part of the Waddenzee.

    :) Thank you, uselessbatman, for confirming that  :)

    Wouldn't have hesitated to make a windsurfing trip up there ... if I hadn't moved to another continent.

  • seemed to break alot harder with the freelander but still nice.

  • @xvrhernandez349 Well, it's better than a normal FWD car for sure but it's not a 4X4 truck....I have 2 Audis with quattro and find i have never needed the extra ground clearence that you get with the XC70, but have heard nothing but good things about theses later models. Earlier XCs had crap AWD system that couldn't fully lock up both axels so couldn't make it up a snowy hill.

  • i think i want an XC70. my neighbors go camping all the time & invite my family. anyone who has one. good "offroad" car??

  • @marines081 You should check it though, the Viscous gets a bit laggy when it gets older, Mine is still good though.

  • I love my 03 Freelander. Even now with the snow in the UK I really love it. Thanks for the video.

  • did you do it one at a time in case one of you got stuck lol.. i have a cracking 02 plate freelander with all the toys. love it

  • Thank you for this video. I was wondering if my Viscous is fine. Now i see hat is spins all 4 wheels all time on sand.
