Sometimes people dont realise what the average family car is capable of so long as you drive accordingly. Dirt tracks don't need a 4WD.Booney wrote:Agree, I too have an FG XR6, but I'm not sure that it suits his towing/camping requirements. ( The towing bit, yes, obviously )
agree with this completely. if you arent going to do any "serious" offroading then the falcon/commodore wagon would probably be the go. and despite the fact that i am a "holden boy" i agree with the posters above that the falcon is probably the better buy, as long as you avoid the fleet hacks

i like the looks i get from people when they see the type of roads i take my ss ute on. in reality most are just dirt roads, and are fine for any car no matter what the weather (although some are a bit rougher), but some people are horrified that i would even consider taking it on them. its great fun turning up with the inlaws to the "campsite" and sleeping in the back of the ute while everyone else has dragged their 4WD's and camper trailers with them
