VK3BHR’s Toyota HiLux on the highway between VK3/VG-008 & VK3/VG-009.
Maybe, its a dull & boring vehicle, but as is said here in Australia “If you want to see the bush, get a XXXXX (insert favourite make). If you want to come back, get a Toyota.”
Forester I think? Had one of those while in Oz as well, exact same colour as yours 2.5X model I think - very nice car and keeps it’s value well when you want to resell.
She who must be obeyed, has her car, I have mine, and WE have a used LR4 Land Rover. Love it so…
Now, we can go places that maybe we shouldn’t. Back space is 7 feet long, now fitted with 2" of foam covered with a flannel sheet, and a down comforter. It’s a tent that is bear-resistant, and doesn’t leak.
Up until late September last year, my trusty Subaru Forester took me to many places that often raised comments along the lines of “how did you get up here in that?”. See my blog for the final fate of car - destroyed by an engine fire whilst on a multi-summit day.
Here it is in “Rover” mode for one of our local VHF/UHF Field Day Contests. On this occasion, set up with horizontally polarised antennas for all bands 6 m to 5.7 GHz. I did not have up the 10 GHz slotted waveguide antenna on this occasion, using a dish antenna instead.
