Thomas,

My offroad enthusiasm is based more on using a 4x4 as a tool, and not necessarily a toy. To me they are tools to get me where I want to go, which would otherwise be impossible. I have gone offroading for fun some times here in Norway, but those have been rare occations.

However, being interested in using a 4x4 to go off the beaten track thru africa, I'm always on the lookout for good tips, or good equipment. I have been considering for some time a new trans african trip from south to north, via some of the central african countrys we missed on the way down, such as Angola and DRC. This would be without my wife and daughter due to security reasons. But then I'm getting so attached to my baby daughter that I'm not so sure anymore that I would want to be away from her for so long (4-6 months). Maybe I'm becoming a softie!!!

Now that the size of our family has increased with our baby daughter, my wife and I have been discussing how quickly we can go off to africa, taking her with us. We figure in about 3 years would be possible. A 4 month trip thru west africa, revisiting places of interest would be nice, as it is generally a child friendly region. But living for an extended time in a LR Defender with a small child is not a very good idea IMO. Thus, I've come to like the Bremach pictured in a post above more and more. It'll go anywhere a LR will, but with room for a kid or 2 in the back. I'm thinking that the Bremach might be the solution for us. Finances permitting!

Time will tell!

Erik
