Briskoda Photo Game 2013

[pikachu24]

I couldnt get enough room from the side but that road is one hell of a gradient and the sign makes it pretty obvious. only one around me anyway! :P stop being picky and worrying about the details! |

Been out for a crack at it. Tried reversing up an embankment forwards and backwards but I was afraid of scarping the bumpers . Tried side on and bottled out. I really thought I was getting close to rolling

[briskycat]

Some facts from this post:

Front Approach Angle 19,0°

Rear Approach Angle 26,7°

Climbing Ability

Diesel 4x4 60% = slope angle of 31° max

Diesel 2wd 55% = slope angle 29° max

Petrol 1.2TSI - 45% = slope angle 24° max 

Petrol 1.4TSI - 50% = slope angle 27° max 

Petrol 1.8TSI - 55% = slope angle 29° max

And that is probably the most suitable Skoda for challenges like this one... :think:

So, am I right in thinking we haven't got a cat in hells chance of getting over 30^o  ?

 

My EWS Choo Choo train challenge doesn't look so difficult after all now, does it?

If I ever win another my challenge may involve Suzi Perry.......

Technically it IS possible, but getting a side-on shot as it goes over the edge of a cliff may prove a tad tricky!

I have an idea of how to manage this... there's a place near me that's fairly steep, not officially a road so likely won't show up, I shall venture out tomorrow. just to check, as the ground's too difficult to get a clear shot of the incline, would a shot next to a digital spirit measure (I say spirit measure, app on my phone) count as verification? if so, I shall head up there tomorrow after work

You might need a spirit level to show how level your spirit level is

It's OK, you don't need to get over 30^{o  _}  30^o will do just fine.

If you can show that the car is actually parked at the required angle, then that will be sufficient to win.

 

And I will admit that 30^o is proving to be a little steeper than I originally imagined, though I still believe it's achievable (especially if you happen to have a 4wd Yeti, it seems).

I got well over 30 degree's your not even meant to go down that road anymore :(

[Usernamealreadytaken]

Shame it can't be a temperature of 30 degrees. There should be several winners today!! :sun: 

[pikachu24]

32 here and I'm wanting to die, i hate the heat.

Sorry pikachu24, but there's nothing in your photos to indicate that you got anywhere close to a 30-degree (57.7%) incline.

[MOCAMB]

So 1 in 3 then.

 

 

No, that would be a 33.3% slope, so around 16 degrees. I'm looking for 30 degrees, which is a gradient of around 1 in 1.7. Tough, but not impossible.

[@Lee]

more impossible than finding a bloody train I reckon :(

Well, if nobody's got it by the 7-day deadline, I'll give it to the person who's achieved the greatest measurable angle. Looks like BossFox is in the lead so far.

[Mr_potz]

Been out around today and can only get up to 14 degrees :/ found a bit that was 30, but the fwd of my fabia didnt have enough grip

:(

[chrisw880]

How about this

 

[@Lee]

 

Straight line goes through the centre of the wheels. However, the car is at a slight angle and not directly side on so not sure if that would give a < or > angle?

[fordfan]

How about this

 

 

 

I make it 24.46 degrees, saving and enlarging the photo and measuring from the computer screen, I get 156mm between the wheel centres and 142mm from the front wheel centre projected horizontally to perpendicularly intersect with a vertical line drawn through the rear wheel centre.  This gives the hypotenuse and adjacent sides of a right handed triangle, dividing 142 by 156 will give the cosine of the angle.

 

Does anyone know of any good ways to remove ink marks from a computer screen?

Pepsi everywhere! **** you!

That's a damn good effort, and is not too far off 30 degrees. In with a chance, if nobody finds a steeper slope...
