I have driven from the uk through France, Spain and Andorra, along the Pyrenees in a Land Rover, when we did the final part of the trip our tour guide brought some friends with them who had a Panda 4x4 air twin, it’s went everywhere we could in the Landy. Even drove the Smugglers Run from Spain into Andorra with no issues. The guy who owned it was told not to get a panda as he would brake it, but as he said “I can’t brake it, I have tried” that was the point I decided I would love a panda and now I own one, even if I’m not aloud to take it off roading… yet (wife’s permission needed”. I love my Panda and I am curious about making mods and weather I will get away with them and the mrs noticing. I do have a mk3 and hope to mod it soon. Thank you for the inspiration. Hope you enjoy Andorra, there are many lanes and roads to take. Watch out for the parachuting cow signs.
Oh right very cool! That sounds like you had a really good trip there. As soon as the wife allows it, get the Panda’s off road! But even as an every day car on road, they are great little cars.
Quick tip/thought..19mins in..I’d swap that nyloc nut for a dome head nut and use blue threadlock , I’d be worried when the bump stop hits they would wear rough rubbing against those exposed threads 👍🏼 Nice idea for the spring holders btw! I feel like we all need to start a hashtag like #watchthisjamesmay ..bet you a £ to a penny he’d come and drive it!lol Enjoyed the vid mate!
@@PTP4X4 sadly we will have moved on towards Austria by then. We are taking a E34 5 series touring so quite an unconventional off-roader but we will be attempting the smugglers pass into Andorra on around the 2nd of September. 🤞
Do you have 4x4 engage lever modification? (I don't know how is called 😂) Edit: i just saw the video where you did it, great job. Thinking doing the same to my panda

Ahh ok yes.. not a bad idea that. Thanks! And thank you very much for the feedback ! Haha yes we need to get James onto it for sure ! 😂
Mod suggestion: dual hand brakes L/R for when you're stuck with 1 wheel up in the air so you can redirect torque to the wheel with traction.
I’ve heard someone doing this .. I’ll look into it! Thanks
@@PTP4X4 I've seen pics of it on the Fiat forum, I'm sure... seemed like a relatively easy modification, too.
would probably require hydraulic hand brake though
@@laimonasrake8367absolutely not true
That is cool as mate, alot more work than i thought it would need to work tho.
Thanks very much ! Yeah it was a lot of work but it’s worth the effort
Great stuff, looking forward to some testing video's !
Thanks ! That should be soon
When are you going Andorra? I’m going end of August and am hoping to do the smugglers route from Tor.
Oh very cool ! I’ll be in Andorra on the 12th September I believe .. not sure if you’ll still be there or not ? What car are you going in ?

Oh very cool indeed ! I’m in the process of making a route plan. Smugglers pass is something I need to look into !

It is well worth doing !! It’s a great modification to do
Next a winch solution?
I was thinking about that … I will look into it
was your machinist listening to LYCA radio
He’s a big fan of their music, and loves the plastic food containers that they promote 🤙🏼
