   I ran my old mini (Morris 850 Mk 1) down a road allowance in the   
   spring past about 4 stuck jeeps and 4X4s. I don't know how I got   
   through but I just didn't slow down. It had all of about 6 inches of   
   ground clearance and the tires were only about  4.5 or 5" wide.. It   
   didn't hurt that it only weighed about 1275 lbs.   
   I took that thing through a lot of places it had no business going   
   through.   
   The '67 204 Peugot took me through alot of places that should have   
   required a Land Rover in Africa too - - -

   I took a VW Beetle places where a buddy's Land Rover got stuck, as well as   
   frozen ponds and snowmobile trails. However a dirt bike was a better choice,   
   including on the ice and snow and crossing rivers. The motorcycle club I   
   joined emphasized skill over speed competition, such as Trials, though they   
   raced on ice.
