Yer, looks great but will it tow 3500kg? :toothy9:
2014 LST Ash Beige. SMM Steel canopy, Outback Drawers, dual battery with 2 x 160W solar panels (keeps the beers nice and cold), 135L tank, TJM T15 alloy bar with Xray-vision LED lights, Dumbo Clearview Mirrors. The ultimate tow truck.

I shudder at the thought.

Australians can't get the hang of the concept of keeping left on a clearly marked dual (or more) laned highway. They simply seem to refuse to use indicators, particularly VW drivers and roundabouts apparently require the cognitive skills of a rocket scientist and brain surgeon rolled into one so what hope do we have with flying cars?

Coming soon to your back yard, a space cadet that slipped out on a Maccas run and crash landed in your vegie patch!
Happiest when taking 4 hours to travel 20 klm.

Achis,

At the risk of being banned for life... Do you mean someone like this fellow?

Yes, that reminds me of Jeep drivers from the gold coast.
