Yeah at least he'd made it to the hill

I followed one over the Vinegar Hill road many years ago on my way to Andy Animals 50th, It seemed to boost along ok, I was in a XR6 & we did a farken good time to Taihape, Was a great night catching up the the crew.


Who giv's a shit about fuel consumption if ya have proper grunt, If your worried about that buy a Prius

I second the folks saying there’s no visibility. They do look mean for sure but you can’t see shit when driving em. Been in H1s and H3s and the FJs…my thought is that I want to see stuff around me when I’m driving!! To each their own mate.

I have just driven this from AK to WGT over the space of a couple of days stopping in at a few places along the way.

Verdict so far, great. Fuel consumption is 12 liters per hundred so not great but not too bad either. It's not going to be an everyday vehicle so I can live with that.
Visibility is great 180 degrees out the front and good mirrors and reversing camera takes care of the rest.
So far, so good.

Great. Iconic. Not listening to the naysayers and just doing it can turn out ok.
How long are you here?? PM me for a cuppa if you want.

Great stuff. It’s one vehicle I would buy if I some stupid money lying around.

Well done enjoy your new drive. Economy not to bad either!

We had 3 days of stiff southerly winds on the way home too, and being as aerodynamic as a brick, I didn't think that was too bad.
One thing I have noticed that I hadn't thought about is that with the windscreen being so vertical, when the vehicle is parked it is doesn't get very hot inside as the sun doesn't get in a lot.
