Those big super skinny wheel/tyres are impressive in the mud!

Love the roll over.. wind in the windows, roll it over, wind windows back up again.. no damage... brilliant

Dad used to have Ford T back in the very early 90's and he used to tell me that it was one of the best vehicles to drive on the mud and the only one capable to get in and out of the farm

High ground clearance and skinny tyres that cut down through the mud to the firm going underneath. When I was a youth in Winton, the old bushmen were pretty well unanimous that the Dodge 4 was the best bush car before the ready availability of 4WD's. Ford T was considered damn good also. These cars were light, low geared, had flexible alloy steel chassis. Buick and Hudson were the preferred vehicles of mail contractors in the teens through thirties. Rugged and reliable and often loaded beyond belief.

That is amazing, but I have to say I think I prefer the ride on my D3, I think ou would need a month at the physio after that trip.

My Grand mother lived next door to his garage in Curlewis Street in Bondi and as a kid, I had a good look around all the vehicles he use to keep there.

Unreal place.

Obviously very dependable vehicles but doesn't it also make you appreciate modern roads and road making machinery! It's one thing to go out and have fun in the bush but to have to endure those conditions day in day out would soon take the shine off driving a motor vehicle.

Cheers, Mick.
