Cape trip - vehicle choice!

[rockman]

After spending serious time in both up at the mines i know which one i would be having and it invloves 3 numbers not 2

The 76 is the most unconfortable piece of crap i ever had the displeasure of having to drive for 6 months when the workshop managers 200GX arrived he said he would rather a ute than wagon

It was the quickest swap in history

But feeling every rut and bump just enhances the experience!

Pffftt...... Enhancement!

Well, think I know which way I am happy to go, and that would be first class, not cattle class. (No offence Symon). Yet to convince my travelling companion and funding provider though!.

Besides, if we don't get rain here soon, could be fairly 'dry' river crossings this year!!

Cheers,
Dee.

Pretty harsh i know but driving one around on a mine site for an average of 6hrs per day you kind of start feeling everything that annoys you about a vehicle towards the end of a swing

A decent set of recaro seats would go a long way towards solving the problem, at least for front seat passenger & driver. Of course the coin required for this is not insubstantial.

A dirty old GQ with a lift, muddies, long range tanks, no aircon,(so the compressor can be converted to pump up tyres) rooftop tent, no carpets, just mats, winch, barwork
everything important should be at a height of 4 foot or above
as for packing if I can get it in alloy or plastic I got it and anything I can live without gets left at home
and a bloody good fridge

cos when I go I want to avoid the development road as much as possible!

Having watched a bloke in my club around Robe/Beachport, and watching his head smashing into the roof console, and window frame (this is with ARB suspension) as he went through a rutted section, it would have to be the worst ride I've seen someone take through a rough section which you needed to floor it to get up the hill.
In fact Luke in his old Exploder got up hills the cruiser struggled with and didn't he let Ken know it too!

Ken got a quote on a pr of Recaros, fitted and engineered by some Recaro place in Moorabbin, it was close to $5500.
