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.
