To be fair its the Germans that are lucky, they have the autobahn.

i found it very comfortable but impractical as a family man [it only has the two seats]


for those who dont recognise it, its a Holden Ute with the 6lt Chevy V8 lump and tuned in the UK by Vauxhall engineers

I drive a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT with a 5 liter V8 and full time all wheel drive. It's flat here in Indiana, so the only time I get to have any real fun is in the winter. In the snow when other cars are going 25 mph, my Explorer will tear through the snow at 50-55 mph with no problems. I have had the Explorer in the mud once and it made it through it fine but it took some work to get all of the mud off it.

I used to live in Ohio near the Pennsylvania line and had a lot of fun with all the hills. I was younger then and getting the car airborne was a lot of fun. Now I am older, cars are more expensive and don't take the punishment the cars of the 70s could. It's a wonder I lived through my younger years.
