Thread: terrain response

My RRC was the one and only vehicle in the house for nearly 12 years. It was modified primarily to be a reliable, comfortable, quick (relative in todays terms) family car that also took the family to Fraser/bush etc. The off road mods were to primarily make any off road trip as less stressful as possible not just to me, but to SWMBO. It was as expensive in todays terms as the RRS, we never purposely took it to places to get it scratched, however, we did go to places that getting there sometimes entailed scratches/bent panels. Same with the RRS. It is our primary car, yes I took it to Landcruiser Mountain Park as I am un familiar with its capabilities. If going to a destination calls for serious off road work, if the destination warrants, I will take it and go. But I don't go off road for fun/entertainment. So having a car just for going bush doesn't make sense for me (this does not apply to all of course). I drive the RRS because it is such a good everyday driver, I can get caught in awful weather, or on poor roads, carry lots of cargo, good fuel economy, + if and when needed, real capability on tracks that I have used before, and will go on again. Plus new destinations that may need 4wd to get there. And, as bonus, a real hoot to drive everyday on normal roads.
