Dear all,

If I might digress. A humble VW may be the most adaptable beast of all. viz the kubelwagen; the later variant is the 181/ 182 "thing" in USA. I have a local aussie built variant; "country buggy" converted to type 3 IRS and super low gearing (20:1) with locking diff.
This thing floats and goes almost anywhere (at 1080kg with gas).
10" ground clearance and short overhangs help at 52 degrees approach and 35 departure. Light enough to push out of a bog or bulldust hole. pity the ADR "safety" design rules here mean that there is no more chance of a "poor peoples car". abs, esc, ehd, wan(k) yadah, yadah, yadah
Who deeds this when prudent driving is THE cost effective option? As Bean etc traversed the "Red Centre" etc in the 1920's in nothing more than vehicles with much ground clearance, low rev torque and low speed gears (Ford T models etc) what more rough track capability do people need now?

regards

K
