    Too 'sensible' for me - this is cute (although I still prefer the Fratelli Sebastiani yellow one):

    Talking about old Rangies, my youngest and his mate set off today to drive around Australia in one. I bet him 50 bucks they'll break down before Newcastle :)

    Looks tuff,have they changed the V8 for a diesel?
    Hope they've a looooong range tank otherwise....likewise if it's dualfuel,they won't get gas north or west of Cairns or Mareeba/Atherton.
    Easy mechanics if anything happens and specialists all the way to Cairns.

    Coils all round, from ARB I believe. Plus upgraded axles and steering. The young bloke who owns and built the car (they've been mates since high school) is an engineer and knows his stuff. I have much more faith in him than my son!

    They will have a great adventure, with lots of stories to tell their kids one day - some of them true

    It’s not the ugliest car I’ve ever seen, but it’s certainly not pretty.
    Why does it have holes in the doors? And what on earth does pictures of it making a lot of dust prove? Is that supposed to convey an image of ‘tough 4wd workhorse’ ?
