Thread: Thinking about a change - Safari or something else?

The main thing against the LWB for me is just the sheer size of the thing - have driven a few on and off road and I like how they drive, but having to 3-point turn tight corners on steep tracks got annoying, you need a lot of space to turn around. SWB a couple hundred kg lighter too which should help a bit with the slowness.

One of them was a work vehicle we had up in Central, 430k on it from memory and withstood serious mechanical abuse from some of the guys - redline from stone cold etc, I'm sure they were actually trying to kill it. They eventually managed to after I had left, but they had to submerge it in the Clutha to do it.
