In Namibia, that used to be SOP.

Obviously, nothing at all like that would ever happen now.

Nam or Blokkop, do the guys still land on the road between Swakop and Henties, at Wlotzka's Baken and then taxi to his beach house. Saw that several times, back in the good old days .....

Especially after some rain...and about 1.5t overload...

...the little slope, not noticeable in the vid, really likes to bring the mud down onto the 'road' and makes for great fun and games.
