Thanks guys, good to be here. Alex, you and I need to talk. There are so many trails in the area from rocks to sand. I can also point out plenty of back roads that are just so well worth travelling, have you got a few hours :biggrin: You can mail me and I can send you some info, just let me know when you are coming down and for how long... honeybeeouteniqua@gmail.com

Hi Dave and welcome here.

So I gather that you did not decide to pursue my old 4.5 in the end? I understood that you had some concerns about the vehicle and I tried to get in contact to discuss...

Just goes to show, the Wegry guide book only covers a small slice of the tracks and roads one can drive

Welcome Dave, you can't go wrong with a 4.2 ....and better economy than my 4.5 for sure. All those mods you speak of are worth big bucks
